PROHIBITION A PROVEN MISTAKE

The definition of insanity is to repeat the same action over and over and
expect different results.

Life sentences and tougher prohibition worked really well on cocaine,
heroin, alcohol, marijuana and ecstasy, so it makes perfect sense to apply
these proven tactics to crystal meth.

Paternalistic governments the world over seem to have a problem grasping
the simple fact that prohibition adds glamour to the mundane.

Sell all drugs like cigarettes with warnings on the package.

Eliminate the profit, eliminate the crime.

Eliminate the prohibition, eliminate the "coolness" factor.

Tax consumption, pay for education.

People will tend to do what they want regardless of the law.

Better to tax the hell out of these drugs rather than pay for dealers' jail
time and legal bills.
