Bank Robbery Capital of the World?Vancouver,B.C.Canada

Or at least of Canada.Some of my best friends were very good bank robbers.Nice guys unless you stood between them and their next fix.They used to throw money around like it was free.But then I guess it was. My point is that this and all the other mayhem that goes with drug prohibition is totally unnecessary.The only reason this particular form of prohibition has lasted as long as it has is because people were willing to swallow the lies and hysteria that was the underpinning of all drug legislation.It took 60 years for a generation to come along that didn't follow blindly along with the program.Once the truth came out that you didn't go insane or become addicted with the single use of a drug put the lie to all drug laws and the fear and misinformation that was so necessary to the enforcement of such misguided legislation.Some people think they can turn back the clock and jail their way out of the situation.Not likely.Even in countries with the death penalty addicts use and take the risk rather than live clean.If there was any real chance of a cure,these people would obviously quit.No one want to die.Very few are unfortunate enough to be addictive personalities.Why are we persecuting every one to save a small group that doesn't want our help?This situation is finally being looked at with a realistic eye.I have seen the panic in the prohibitionist eye.They don't even know why they're afraid.It's really sad.
