To: Know your rights

Way to go, they should do the same here in the USA, when prohibition was revoked, we did not see as far as I know excessive use of alcohol, it was regulated, licensed, controlled.
This continued drug war is just maintaining job security.

That, and it gives its supporters the pleasure of pushing others around ... an unholy alliance.

The 2 aren't comparable. "Prohibition" was a misnomer, as personal production, possession, and consumption of alcohol was NOT prohibited. And we wonder why it didn't work? LOL

Of course, the idea to legalize all drugs is beyond ludicrous. The countries with the most lenient drug policies are seeing horrific results, as if that should come as a surprise.

The reason marijuana is a "gateway" drug is because it is illegal. The same underground networks that deal marijuana deal the harder drugs as well.

With marijuana legal people would have no reason to come into contact with the really nasty guys...
