BUST MARTINI DRINKERS

Dan Durrenberger made some good points regarding drug laws (Drug bust
captures neighbor's attention).

His statement "Phoenix and Arizona in general are awash in illegal drugs.
The stuff is everywhere" is testament to the failure of the war on drugs.
It is impossible to talk honestly about illegal drugs without running into
contradictions.

Yes, GHB is a bad drug that reduces inhibitions and can be used for date
rape. It can also kill people.

But can't we say the same thing about alcohol? How many times has it been
used for sexual advantage? How many thousands of people have died from it?

The blaring double standard in our drug laws is the Achilles' heal of the
lavish war on drugs. Either we start busting the martini drinkers, too, or
we don't bust anybody.
