Agreed =)

Also, prohibition just puts money into organised crime through the black market. I ask myself why both drug dealers and police wish to see drugs remained prohibited. I understand the dealer's reason, but why would the police want to grant a criminal his wishes?


Because a HUGE percentage of crime is drug-related, if drugs were made legal i think there would be a lot of lay-offs at the police force... ever wondered why it's only retired police officers that speak out against prohibition   ?
