Ooops, I forgot: drugs aren't the problem. BAD boys are.
Solution: legalize everything, THAT will SOLVE all the problems.
Hmmmm, all we have to do is ask the Swiss about THAT. :o)
My Grandfather would drive his truck to Detroit from the North Side and pick up 5 gallon tins of alky, on contract to Dion O'Banion. He would buy a few extra for his own bar, the one he ran for my great-grandmother. Cut 50% with water, colored with caramelized sugar, a dab of iodine for bourbon, and kerosene for scotch. Turpentine was for gin or vodka, not sure which. This is all family lore. (My dad remembered running the bottle capper.)
The War on Drugs is such a rousing success, after all. I still think it just a way to funnel federal price supports to the gangs, in exchange for votes.
For your consideration: Who uses drugs, and if they die, would it it such a terrible loss?
