Sir - It's truly sad to see the Irish imitating the drug prohibition
of the United States. Due to Reefer Madness law enforcement, the US
now has an incarceration rate second only to Russia.

The land of the free and the home of the brave is being turned into a
police state filled with gulags by a mindless crusade against drugs
that has never worked and can never work.

If Ireland continues in the braindead path endorsed by George Maybury
and other prohibitionists, it won't be long before you are spending
more to imprison drug users than on education and other public
services. Drug wars don't work, but they cost plenty!

One other thing, in a few years time you'll have more drugs, drug
users and drug addicts in Ireland than you ever imagined possible.
That's the way prohibition works.
