“of course...

our culture needs more poison in the system,

it’s important to send the message that being out of your mind relieves you of any responsibility,

and as long as there are some poisons available, let’s promote an ever expanding array of poisons with which to undermine ambition and productivity.

nice.....very “conservative”.....”

I have had a hand in securing more than 3,000 (three thousand) years of prison time for various offenders. The overwhelming majority of those offenders were convicted for possession of a controlled dangerous substance - they were drug offenders. Nothing changes, nothing improves.

The war on drugs is over. Illegal drugs won.

“Zero tolerance” posturing just keeps the prices up and in the hands of corrupt and vile men. See Mena Airport as an example. I do not abuse drugs. I do not like drug abusers. But the “war” is over, and it is a total defeat.

Well said! We were once wise enough to "surrender" in our War On Alcohol aka Prohibition - I hope we can muster the wisdom to take the same course with drug prohibition.
