Evidence from the Prohibition days shows that alcoholism was higher then than since when alcohol was again legalized.<br />If you don't want to take drugs (illegal or FDA approved), then don't take them. Why waste huge tax payer resources trying (unsuccessfully) to stop others! With demand and supply economics, drug prices would tumble (they could even be taxed like alcohol and tobacco are now) with the illegal risk element removed. Thus those who are addicted would likely be able to fund their habit without having to resort to crime. Government could even spend a small proportion of the savings/tax income helping those who want to quit.<br />Drug problem across the Mexican Border solved too.<br />Is it really this simple or are politicians just too stupid to try this with cannabis first?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662450406623081187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752027331714385066.post-84385533028254758312010-06-20T13:25:18.581-07:002010-06-20T13:25:18.581-07:00reduce prisons and incarcenerate criminals 100% ta...reduce prisons and incarcenerate criminals 100% taxpayer free by the simple expedient of long term house arrest. let the immediate famil be responsible to house,feed and maintain all criminals.AFTER ALL THE SUPREME OBJECT OF ANITI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOR IS SOLELY TO GET THEM OFF THE STREETS TO MAKE THE STREETS SAFE FOR LAW ABIDING CITIZENSjim bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175312505242739129noreply@blogger.com
