OTHERS ARE BANNED, BUT WORST DRUG SOLD LEGALLY
When I was growing up in the 1920s, drugs were legal. There were no drug
lords, robberies or killings. The people who wanted drugs went to the store
and bought them. The rest of us did not want them and never bought any. We
did not have to support the thousands of people who are in jail because of
drugs.
The worst drug on the market is cigarettes. Why doesn't the government make
them illegal? Thousands have died. People have spent tons of money to get
rid of this addiction. It doesn't make sense that the government allows
cigarettes but bans all other drugs.
