How about this: make the drugs legal but strongly frown upon them, ie your employer can fire you show up strung out on your job. Make drug consuling more widespread.
Get the added benefit of smack going down to $5 from $500 and people will get help.
Plus I won't have to see an ad on TV that equates buying some pot to a family getting killed in central America.

I agree with you about employers being able to maintain whatever standards for their employees they wish to have.

When you say "make drug counsuling more widespread", I certainly hope you don't intend to use tax dollars to fund those programs. We've got way to much socialism going on in our medical industry the way it is. Either their insurance would pick up the tab, or they can just suffer and die. Put Darwin to work and pay the Street cleaners a little extra to haul the bodies away. It sounds heartless, but it is a LOT preferable to protecting people from the price of their stupidity.

The US propaganda war being waged on TV reminds me of the stuff the KGB spread through Tass and Pravda.

More than likely it would be fueding Asian gangs doing a home invasion in Vancouver British Columbia...Pot from Central America... that's just the crap crop along with poppies they grow to throw off the DEA and keep them busy. I bet more Bud comes out of British Columbia then Columbia.
