the drug war has failed and is failing miserably even with all the billions we are pumping into this failing attempt.prohibition didnt work with alcohol,and its certainly not working with drugs.it only increases organized crime,and the profits made by capitializing on an outdated concept like prohibition.

imo marijuana is much safer than alcohol,yet its still illegal.not one person has ever been documented from dying of a marijuana overdose.more people all killed by alcohol than by marijuana,illicit street drugs or all pharmaceutical drugs combined.yet the government overlooks this fact blindly.

More than 100,000 deaths per year are attributed to alcohol, in the United States. Alcohol-related auto accidents account for approximately 24,000 of these deaths (most often the victims are under 30 years of age), while alcohol-related homicide account for 11,000 and suicide 8,000 deaths.

makes you kind of sit back and question the reasoning of our laws.

as far as getting into the drugs ive done in my lifetime,i would rather not.
some the experience to me was mind expanding and rewarding,while others had the exact opposite effect.moderation,respect,and control as with anything can make the difference between being rewarding and becoming a full time burden.
