Prohibition in the 1920's did not work and Prohibition II in the form of the Controlled Substance Act also does not work. The problem with prohibition is that it has spill over effects for those of us who have nothing to do with drugs. It is used as justification to empower law enforcement way beyond anything that would be justified by any other reason. It has lead to civil forfeiture, which is really legalized theft, as well as all kinds of money laundering laws that create hassles for those of us who travel and do business internationally that have nothing to do with drugs.<br /><br />The reason why I want to end Prohibition II is that the war on drugs is not worthy of a scintilla (do yo know how small a scintilla is?) of time and hassle for someone like myself who has nothing to do with drugs.kurt9https://www.blogger.com/profile/02101147267959016924noreply@blogger.com
