John Casey Quote 

"The growth of drug-related crime is a far greater evil to society as a
whole than drug taking. Even so, because we have been seduced by the
idea that governments should legislate for our own good, very few people
can see how dangerously absurd the present policy is."

 -- Anonymous, Reston, VA US 
Sure get rid of government welfare (corporate and individual) which is also “legislation for our own good” so the taxpayer does not have to foot the bill for drug abuse and allow the victims of "while intoxicated" crimes to sue for damages the offender and his immediate family for all they are worth and more. We no longer live in a free society, we live in welfare state. We must accept the consequences of the public being forced to pay for everything, including the stupidity of others, at the point of an IRS gun. Leave the drunks and drug addicts to die in the gutters unless their families or private charities come get them, and I will be all for legalization. Until then we must live with the madness of modern liberalism (socialism). You cannot have one without the other.

Calling a personal choice a crime is a great evil to us all.
 -- Joe, Rochester, MI		 
Drug prohibition has caused the hugest black market ever and has corrupted the justice system, the police, the lawyers, the drug companies, and the politicians. More people have been killed due to the drug trade than the drugs themselves. I think we can say the war on drugs has been a dismal failure -- except for those in the drug trade.
