Vin Suprynowitz in his book “Send in the Waco Killers” raised this very point - if you look back at the 1800s, both alcohol and drugs were legal. It was acknowledged in the 1910s that the FedGov did NOT have the power to control alcohol production, distribution, and consumption under the Constitution, so a constitutional amendment was needed to make it happen. But the very year that a consitutional amendment was passed to eliminate Prohibition, Congress passed laws to control the production, distrubtion, and consumption of drugs ... with no outcry that the Consitution did not allow it. After all, with the Roosevelt as President, a Congress that passed laws to prohibit a farmer from growing wheat on his own land for his own consumption, and a Supreme Court that upheld such laws, banning drugs was no big deal.

This topic is also covered in the History Channel program “Hooked: Illegal drugs and how they got that way” (or something to that effect) which I see repeated every month or so.

Or go onto the net and do some research.

There are plenty of countries that have tried the legalization route, with terrible results - INCREASED crime, and many more addicts.

What countries would those be?
