All these things happened while it is illegal. Price goes down and quality goes up as more comes into the country. What you going to do about it?

The idea that it being illegal is a barrier to use is foolish make yourself feel good wishful thinking. I know that if it were legal, KLP would go out and buy an eight ball tomorrow, maybe you too. Thank god it's illegal. And the children, what about the children? Oh the humanity.

And all this nonsense about crack. Crack is cocaine with the salt removed (hydrocloride), so that it doesn't dissolve in water. Any fool can make crack from powder with a test tube, baking soda and a stove. Takes about 5 minutes. You get a lot more bang for the buck from injecting the powder. And you make a bigger mess being hit by a freight train than by a bicycle. So what.

Unfortunately the drug issue seems to be a convenient outlet for all sorts of emotional dissatisfaction with the world in general. Kind of like that BA who could do something about my crew following the strictest rules, but could do nothing about the non-union crew. Life's a mess but at least we can control drugs.

Except.
You.
Can't.

Honestly, ask yourself how is that working out?

Don't go off into some speculative future disaster land.

The experiment has already been done. It was done with alcohol. But of course that doesn't count. Why not?
Alcohol is an addictive drug, destructive in all the ways other drugs are.
