I don't disagree. The problem is, if people want to do something, they are going to do it. This applies to drugs. When there are people out there who want to use drugs, it creates demand, and we both know if there is demand there WILL be a willing supplier for that demand somewhere. There is no stopping it, the only thing the government can do is hope to slow it down and make it more difficult, but the end result will be the same.
We cannot maintain and continue the current state of affairs. The costs in terms of tax dollars and the eroding of our individual liberties are exorbitant.
My belief is that if we are going to have a war against illegal drugs, then we should also have a war against "legal" or prescribed drugs.
My ex-wife's quack doctor has her on an anti-depressant called Cymbalta. I believe that it has made her nuts. She will call me up one week saying she wants to get back together, then the next week she hates me again. And she forgets things and makes up crazy stories, which she did not do before she was put on this so-called anti-depressant. In a fallen world, everyone is going to depressed at some point in time, but instead of just accepting that and dealing with it we have instead bought into the lie that we need medication and therefore have made drug companies and doctors rich.
