RESTRICTING DRUG SALES DOESN'T FIX STUPIDITY
As a retired police detective, I can say with some authority that the
government can not fix stupid. Yet, after 40 years of failed drug
war/drug prohibition policy, you still believe that the police can fix
personal stupidity, via Sen. Carter's bill.
Show me the evidence please.
Yes, people are hurt and killed by taking too many pills like
Oxicodone. Many more are hurt and killed by cigarettes and booze.
Should we track and restrict their sales as well? Allow an adult to
only buy one bottle of whiskey a week? Where do you nanny-staters wish
to draw the line?
