120 years ago not many people used dope, opium etc though they were legal.<Cheap and semi-legalized dope would reduce some crimes, at the cost of more people using dope. Is that going to be a zero cost ?> Since dope was made illegal, it has become very fashionable to use it, giving people some daring and street cred. To get street cred in the face of common usage of dope, people have to use more fashionable plant toxins and manufactured toxins to maintain high status street cred [any loser can smoke dope]. Making it legal [as in Holland] wouldn't cause a boom in it for long and wouldn't cause any problems [see Holland for how little problem it is and a lot of usage there is because people from elsewhere go there because it's fashionable due to their cultural norms back home, and fun to do it right there in the open, vindicating their drug using ideas.] If people do want to poison their brains, it's not my problem. It's best to leave people to suffer the consequences of their stupidity. Nature is merciless and relentless, and Darwin's Laws take care of anyone who breaks laws of nature. Mqurice
