Do you think that the prohibition of drugs (the fact that drugs are unregulated by the government) works?

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 ?

Good point =)

Not at all.  It causes more problems if anything.  The government sucks are regulating things, but criminals are even worse.

Berend the dealer is but a pawn in this market, the men we should focus on are men, who control the market.  Such as the ones as I stated who ship the poppy from Afghanistan and Pakistan for it can become Heroin, for the people who send the Coca from South America for it can be cocaine.

Those are the people who we need to focus on.
