web site

you are doing the correct thing with this web site. it is time that voices of reason speak out to the public and try to get a conversation started about alternative ways to deal with the drug issue in this country and the world. When the USA tried to enforce alcohol prohibition all it did was empower what until that time were small groups of organized crime and create monsters.l There were drive by shootings, corruption and a general atmosphere of law bending. Have you heard of a drive by over alcohol since the repeal of prohibition? I doubt it. The same will happen if drug prohibition is overturned. Why does such a smart country and people act so ignorantly on this subject and why does it raise such hysteria? The money could be spent much more effectively in other areas. let people decide for themselves what substances they will ingest. Thank you for your work JOHN HANLEY
