People tend to rebel against unjust laws. When alcohol was made illegal, the crime rate and alcoholism jumped dramatically. The same happened with marijuana, but lawmakers still haven't come to their senses with it as they have with alcohol.
If you want to cut down on illegal drug use, close the gateway.
Close it, yes... Make it legal and monitor it, yes... either way... DO SOMETHING. Right now NOTHING is being done except a few people that get busted ever so often with just a little on them. I see "possession of marijuana" under CRIMES a lot.
I think they should at least ATTEMPT to do something, one way or the other...
One way, the drug lords get all the money and NO ONE knows who uses.
The other way, Taxes are fixed, people have to produce D/L to get some, and that should be closely monitored,
But whatever... something needs to be done, ignoring it just increases the problem.
