HISTORY REPEATED
You can have drug prohibition and gang violence over drug profits or
drug regulation controlled by the state - but you cannot have drug
prohibition without the consequences that come with it.
One hundred years of drug policy based on prohibition ought to be
enough to teach that lesson. But since we refuse to learn this lesson
of history, we are condemned to repeat it.
