WHY NO MURDERS OVER CAFFEINE OR NICOTINE?
I'm writing about Jim Bayne's column Sunday ("Mexico has a legitimate
gripe when it comes to our drug habit").
First off, Mexico has not had more than 23,000 drug-related deaths
since December 2006. It has had more than 23,000 drug prohibition
caused deaths since December 2006.
Even though caffeine is a drug that is more addictive than marijuana,
neither Mexico nor the United States has any murders caused by it.
Why? It's legal.
Nicotine is a drug that's much more addictive than any illegal drug,
yet we have no murders caused by it.
Why? It's legal.
