Bill, you're the thread monitor and can do what you wish but I think I've been more than diplomatic about this. I've clearly stated multiple times that I wouldn't initiate a prohibition debate here or spam the thread with anti-prohibitionist articles however, when I'm attacked or slurred by someone using drug based epithets then I will respond with a post that highlights the issue of prohibition. I also reserve the right to correct any patently false statements made by others.

So then he can end up getting a complaint from Haq for posting to him because paret has him on ignore? That's what happened to me. You can ignore the problem here all you want, Bill, but you'll pay for it anyway. Half of all those in US prisons are there for non-violent drug offenses - at $30,000 to $60,000 a uear to keep them caged up. A lot of the violent criminals are in there because of drugs too. The US has imprisoned a larger percentage of its population than any other nation. The US accounts for 5% of world population, but 25% of the world's prisoners. THis is significantly largely that the USSR had when it was it been business. You can ignore the problem all you want. You'll still pay for it. criticalresistance.org Look at the numbers under number per 100,000 popultion. We've got a real growth industry here, boys!
