YOU WOULD DO WELL TO LISTEN TO THIS VOICE OF REASON
Nobel laureate Professor Milton Friedman said in 1991, "Under
prohibition of alcohol, deaths from alcohol poisoning, from poisoning
by things that were mixed in with the bootleg alcohol, went up
sharply. Similarly, under drug prohibition, deaths from overdose,
from adulterations, from adulterated substances have gone up." He
remains resolutely against prohibition and not on libertarian but
economic and moral grounds. You would do well to listen to this voice
of reason.
