Until 1909 you could walk into a pharmacy and buy opiates and cocaine legally in the USA. And you could buy jars with Cocaine and Heroin labels to store the purchases.

And it was the massive increases in addictions and overdose suicides that convinced people that this condition could no longer be tolerated. That's why we banned drugs.

And the famous soda Coca-Cola used the original formula for decades.

And you don't think putting cocaine in soda was going to eventually turn out badly for the public?

And turned a bad problem into a terrible problem.

It’s better to live with a bad problem than have 50,000 people year die from a terrible problem.

We know the police can’t win the war from 108 years of hard effort.

I have suggested above that the problem literally be watered down to a non-lethal one.

The crack cocaine problem is far worse than the genuine formula cola problem ever was.
