[Vision2020] Failed Drug Policies from Nixon to Bush

[Donovan Arnold]

Chas,

All teenagers are stupid unfortunately. It is societies obligation to protect its youth. And yes, you would have a whole new legion of crack heads if you could pick it up at the local liquor store. They would also exploit youth for sex that they get hooked to the substance because the youth could not afford to get it or would be regulated from being able to buy it. 

And after this, someone would come up with something else that would be illegal and we would have the drug wars again. 

The use of anything goes up when it becomes more available. And these people will rob, rape, kill, beat, and exploit innocent people in our society. 

Best Regards,

Donovan

Those who are stupid enough to snort, smoke, or inject cocaine are
going to do it whether it is legal or not.  We aren't going to have a
legion of new cocaine addicts just because it is legalized.  We will
have a few, but not enough to offset the enormous advantages of
legalization.

There is little we can do to help the terminally stupid.
