I thought it was the late 1960's that speed was made illegal after too many housewives got addicted to diet pills.
I think both JFK and Hitler was addicted to the drug thanks to their quack doctors.

It isn't a simple problem and I never claimed to have all the answers, but a few things seem obvious:
1. The current course of action is a hideously expensive and anti-constitutional failure.
2. When we had medical privacy and indemnity insurance instead of managed care we had lower costs and less abuse.
Loosen drug laws, legalize the least harmful intoxicants, and stop turning doctors into snitches. That's got to lead to a better outcome than what we have today.
