His sister is much, much, much likelier to be attacked by somebody who's drunk than by somebody who's high. I guess we should ban alcohol. And spend billions of dollars enforcing the prohibition. And trample all over civil liberties to do so. And accept the fact that huge quantities of money will now be flowing to criminal organizations rather than legitimate businesses to supply the demand. And that all of those illicit dollars will go untaxed. Sounds like a great solution to me.
Could be. But I don't think you want to hear my position on alcohol.
And spend billions of dollars enforcing the prohibition.
We're spending billions anyway. If they don't get arrested for being high, they end up getting arrested for some other crime they commit. Personally, I'd rather head them off at the pass.
