I honestly believe that if we take aware the lure of illegality, drug usage will actually decline.

Public pressure has played a big part in the decline of smoking. Our school system has unfortunately turned our kids into "smoke-nazis." But I guess it's better to indoctrinate them about smoking than other behavior.

It's a simple case of the so called cure (war on drugs) being worse for the patient than the disease. Then there's the patients friends..... Would anyone argue that South and Central America would be a much different place without drug lords. One needs only to drive 40 mile south of here to know the drug war has failed and failed miserably.
