PROHIBITION II

We built so many prisons in Georgia in the hope that it would deter
drug use and intimidate drug dealers to find other work. Oops. What
my profession did not tell you is that every drug dealer ever
arrested or shot is replaced immediately. Drug prohibition created an
excitement, a rebellion factor of the forbidden fruit, so drug use is
still very high. If I can't have it, then I really want it.

The evil in Georgia is drug prohibition. Drug use and abuse are, and
will always remain, a problem, whether it is cocaine or alcohol. Even
marijuana is too dangerous to leave in the hands of criminals and
cartels. We need to become as sensible and wise as our grandparents
and repeal this modern prohibition. Got a drug problem? See a doctor.
