Alcohol a popular drug
FINALLY, someone has explained why your Government perpetuates its war
on
drug users and drug providers. Marijuana makes the users stupid, silly,
careless, distracted, unmotivated end thereby endangers us all right?
Sure.
Fortunately the same may not be said about alcohol, a most popu!ar
drug.
Otherwise, you would have to jail all the users, providers, retailers,
and
aIcohol traffickers.
Not only thal, elected officials would have to refuse political
donations
from alcohol kingpins.
Moreover, magazines and the media would have to refuse ads pushing,
whoops,
I mean, selling, such products. And finally, we would have to increase
the
number of police on the payroll and build more prisons.
