The morons who have supported the current drug laws are too stupid and dumb to see how they have boosted entrenching crime by sending drug users to prison and initiating them into lives of crime once they mingle with hardcore criminals there.
A natural substance with popular demand, when banned, will create an underground market that will fuel gangs and criminal organisation. The lessons from Prohibition have completely escaped these nitwits.
Makes sense...but what would you say to my once 20 years heroine addict friend who tells me that the pressure of the law and being in prison caused him to finally get clean.
Wrong! We get to choose from equally odious alternatives.
