I agree 100% Mike.
I was watching Henry Rollin's new show "10 Things You Didn't Know About..." on the history channel. And they did an episode on Prohibition.
It was AMAZING what the govt. THOUGHT was going to happen when they banned alcohol. There were actually communities who at first shut down their local jails and turned them into something else because the govt. was convinced that crime would be almost non-existent once alcohol was prohibited! LOL!
Of course, just the opposite happened as a crime wave hit the nation like never before in our history.
The same exact thing has happened with drugs.
Just like the U.S. Govt. created the mob wars and made mafia guys super rich and powerful with alcohol prohibition...they've done the exact same thing with drug prohibition.
They should just stay out of people's personal lives completely. But there's always somebody somewhere who thinks they know what's best for YOU.
And it was done with good intentions.
And as my great grandmother used to say: "The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions"
The unintended consequences are what our society is dealing with now.
