America's culture is based upon freedom and free enterprise. To pass laws forbidding people to buy, sell or take drugs is counter to everything we believe in. Prohibition failed in the 1920's and it is failing now.

I believe we should phase out the military approach to the war on drugs because it is a waste of time and money, and it leads to a degree of oppression unacceptable in our society, not to mention feeding a growing cancer of organized crime, just like it did in the 1920's. We should replace it with education, taxation, and discrimination. I also believe we should leave the coddling of current dopers to their families, friends, and charity organizations, and focus taxpayers money on building a society of individuals that find little, if any, need for artificial stimulation.

We are going to eventually have to legalize drugs, if for no other reason than to remove the profit opportunity from organized crime, and the profit motive to aggressively recruit youngsters to become dopers.

But considering the fact that nearly two generations of American youth have been shipped off to a nursery to be raised, and plopped down in front of a TV to keep them quiet most of the time they were home, thereby completing their total disassociation from their parents, themselves, society and reality, and leaving them with an insatiable physical and mental need for artificial stimulation, we'd be fools to legalize everything immediately. But we should embark on a 10 year plan to legalize everything.
