It is an enabling system, most often promoted by fears, for all who seek everything but reality. As a former user and dealer of all types of illicit (?) substances, the solution to the problem (?) is the free market, free enterprise system. If we fail to learn from history, then, we only repeat what we could avoid. Example in mind: alcohol prohibition. One only has to read the history surrounding this legal restriction to see the correlation between drugs and alcohol results. Of course, there are those who will immediately say, Oh no, not that same premise again. We have rode that horse to before and sent it back to the barn. Give it a rest. To them, I say, that horse has never been allow to run the race to prove it is a winner... because we, the people, have not given it a free-reign to run. NOTHING WILL EVER BE ATTEMPTED, IF ALL POSSIBLE OBJECTIONS MUST FIRST BE OVERCOME.
