Hello George:
I love your new picha. The emperor doesn't wear any clothes, does he? That's the name of the best pot legalization book ever written. You can buy it here.
Welcome to Jack Herer's Home on the Web
You bring up another good point about prohibition. I don't know why the gubment thinks drug prohibition will work when liquor prohibition didn't. I have an opinion, though. I think because white people liked to drink, and darker skinned people liked to get high, the white people's drug became legal.
I don't think it had anything to do with the realization that prohibition single handedly created organized crime, just as it does today. I thought that's why they stopped it. But, nooooo. It was because whitey wanted his liquor.
So, why does the gubment do that?? It clearly doesn't work, and won't ever work. Of course, there are those blind folks who say, "if we only cracked down....." Bwa, ha ha ha ha. But, you and I know they've been cracking down harder and harder for 50 years now and it ain't stopped yet. It ain't even slowed down.
