DRUGS NEED REGULATION

Drug dealers and drug users did not create the dangerous black market
in which they do business. Politicians did. Drinkers didn't make Al
Capone a dangerous and rich man. Prohibition did. In much the same
way drug users aren't at fault for Senior Cpl. Norman Smith's death
- -- it's the market in which they are forced to do business.

If our politicians refuse to take control of the illicit drug market
by taxing and regulating these substances, other brave men will die
in the name of letting criminals control the drug market.

We took control of tobacco, and now teen tobacco use is at its lowest
level since the '90s.

Who do you really want controlling the supply of these drugs,
legitimate businesses or criminals?
