So you're saying that if heroin is made legal, the federal government will limit potentcy? And that won't lead to a black market of high potentcy heroin? You really haven't thought this through, have you?

Uhh, no. My point is that prohibition leads to high potency. Its a fact.

There won't be a black market at all because it will be a legal product!

You're right. Whenever I think of the ATF I never think of Waco or Ruby Ridge. Those DEA guys, on the other hand, shoot dogs!

Can you please cite what alcohol and/or tobacco violation led to the Ruby Ridge and Waco incidents.

The thought that we would be the world's largest exporter of drugs obviously never occurred to you.

Oh really, so we're going to start growing poppies and coca leaves here in the United States? Is that botanically possible?

On the other hand, I think you may be on to something here. That would be a great way of putting the cartels in South America and Mexico out of business. Your suggestion is noted.

Anything is better than the current stupidity of the government's War on Drugs.

None. You're missing the point. The ATF is a federal licensing agency involved in legal, regulated products. You prefer them over the DEA since, to you, they represent less federal intrusion.

I was merely reminding you of their intrusiveness.
