Patently silly. Nothing is free. The only question is who pays and how.


I've agreed with the point made so well above by the Lemur for some time now. Our war on drugs is a King Canute effort.


You want to stop drug use/marijuana use? Teach people why it isn't a good idea and let them choose not to do so. If they choose to do so, there will be a market. Where there is a market, a provider will arise.

Only the most draconian efforts can curtail this kind of market -- summary execution of users caught for example -- and even then it cannot eradicate it. The police measures needed to curtail drug use in the USA would make the Patriot Act provisions look like the soul of rights-protection.
