Tell you what, dear John. Why don't you make a printed copy of your posting
and take it with you to your local police department's drug inforcement unit
and ask what they think about your opinions. Get back to us (if you can) with
a report of what they said. I suspect that you know so much about drug use
that you won't be take-in by anything so-called experts say.
For someone who doesn't use drugs, YOU seem to know an awful lot about the
extent of the drug problem in America.

Yeah. I sometimes wonder how silly we must look to people in other parts
of the world, too. Uncle Ronny Rayguns and Nanny Nancy coming on TV, declaring
"War" on drugs. We go around bullying the drug making countries into helping
us. We send troops to Bolivia (and, I presume, places yet to be determined)
to invade drug country and raid the producers. And all this because we can't
cure our own problem. The problem is drug use, not drug manufacture. I am
embarrassed that we can't seem to cure this problem at home before going out
and attacking the rest of the world for selling us what we demand.
>PSS. I do not use illegal drugs.
Me neither.
