In the first place, the war on drugs was too broad, and they targeted the most ridiculous one to spearhead. IMO, it's like going crazy and labelling caffiene consumption as evil. You are probably right, but the fact is the government should have put more into education, and not about the evils of pot or some outright lies, but in my experiences, kids in school are never taught or adequately shown how bad heroin and some of the other drugs can be; why they get so bad is the really important point. Heroin is bad, or can be, because of the same reason people do it. It makes you unconditionally feel like a god. It's very easy to lose yourself when you can do that for yourself any time. I may be building a total strawman, but I think that for one, if people understood this, a lot less people would ever go down that road, and if they did, they would have a lot more respect for how much it could go terribly wrong.
Call it what you will, but it seems patently obvious to me that one cannot destroy a mode of action.Originally Posted by Big Tex
