A SIMPLE PLAN

I have, after careful study and years of field research, developed a plan
that would put an end to the use of all drugs on this planet.

1. Release all biological weapons in the world's remaining arsenals. This
would almost certainly insure no further drug use by human beings. However,
it is possible that aliens with compatible physiological characteristics
may someday land upon Earth's inviting shores, and perhaps encounter the
villainous marijuana plant, the evil opium poppy, or the contemptible coca
bush. Therefore, one remaining step must be put into action while there are
still honest, hard-working drug warriors to implement it.

2. Release all available fungicides, sporacides and chemical defoliants on
Earth's offending flora. As it would be impossible to single out the
devil's known plant allies-not mention those not yet discovered-the only
solution is to blanket all plant life and treat the waters of the rivers
and oceans with toxic chemicals.

Then and only then, peace would reign and the evil scourge of Satan and his
drug crazed followers would end. Many, I know, will say that this plan is
far too extreme, costly and destructive, but with the holy goal of winning
the drug war once and for all, no price can be considered too high.
