Not only have prices been affected only slightly and for short periods of time, but trends show no drop in teen usage rates. There's reallyno use for it.

Even a treasonous conspiracy can have a constituency; and the U.S. Drug War is no exception.

It may seem counterintuitive to some, but we find ourselves in an irony.
Sometimes, when we are not willing to settle for anything less than the absolute best, we must be willing to pay substantially less for it.

Drug War is a superb example.

Not only is Drug War destructive (costing us money).
It's also counterproductive, meaning not only do we pay for the food, clothing, shelter, dental, & medical benefits of our prisoners of Drug War. We also lose their tax revenue as wage earning citizens.

We lose on BOTH ends of that proposition.

As always a sensible solution, my only worry would be, why do we need the use of drugs?

Well a quick reply would be, the former stimulates the Soul and heightens the senses, where as the latter dim all.

Wolf,
You've reminded me of a couple of quotations from Carrie Fisher, the actress that played Leya in Star Wars.
Quote:
"I turned to drugs for mind expansion & pain reduction. What resulted was pain expansion and mind reduction." Carrie Fischer

Carrie Fischer said the last time she took LSD was in Sri Lanka: "there was an elephant on the beach. And I thought, now I'm not hallucinating. If there really is an elephant on the beach, then what am I taking the acid for?"
A human mind is a terrible thing to waste.

Let's just declare war on every damn thing. Let's drop bombs and kill everything. More blood and gore that's what we need.

Yes I agree, so we should search for meaning while staying sober.

Well may be in a limited way to start with. There are a couple of Arseholes who always block our small Towns main road. Those I would be happy to see 'gored'.
Do unto others, as you wish to be done unto yourself.
