Hello:

The Drug War is OURS, isn't it? Is there anybody out there who thinks that if we ended OUR drug war, the world wouldn't end theirs?

I don't know how it is for you... But, I see people who I ordinarily believe to be rational, smart people, examine the problems on our southern border. Then they cluck their tongues, shake their heads, and with a blank look in their eyes they utter those two time honored and unbelievably stupid words, "crack down".

I'm amazed at these people.. Truly amazed... It's not like it's rocket science either... Nope, we've BEEN here before. We HAVE experience with prohibition. We KNOW what happens when we end it... Yet, mention the words marijuana or cocaine, and ordinary people lose their minds, and they didn't smoke anything.

Hello again,

Yeah, I'm not done...

Let's talk about heroin... Do you know WHY it kills people?? It kills people because they don't know how much of that stuff in that little bag is heroin, or how much is cut. Guess wrong, and you're dead...

Right now, today, the heroine dealers are in charge of the market. They determine where it'll be sold, TO WHOM IT WILL BE SOLD, what's IN it, and how much to charge for it...

Wouldn't YOU rather be in charge of that??

I'm not addressing those of you who lose their minds when they hear the word "heroin", because you'll tell me that if we only "cracked down", there wouldn't BE any heroin... Bwa, ha ha ha. (excuse me - this is serious stuff here)

Nope, I'm addressing the thinking people.
