We just came to the realization that we weren't really doing anything to solve the problem.

This recognition and acknowledgment that the war against drugs has been lost is just one more milestone on the way to inevitable legalization.

The sooner the better.

My daughter works in the Emergency department at a local hospital. When she tells me of the day’s events, the problem becomes astounding in it’s depth.

They have many “Frequent Flyers”.

General - perhaps you are right but the heroin is a little different. Addicts on percosets and oxycontin turn to heroin because it’s waaay cheaper. It’s affected relatives of mine. In NH its become a plague. Rush Limbaugh had money, these people do not and drift toward heroin. The KY ‘pillbillies’ will be heroin junkies soon if not already. I guess I come out where the drug war against heroin has to be kept up - heroin needs to be expensive, not cheap.

What if the price of dope was left to supply and demand? It would be dirt cheap. Cheap Dope=Less Crime.
