No. Absolutely not. But the current war on drugs in the U.S. is like trying to put the genie back in the bottle. Its just not happening. One of the most powerful drugs around - alcohol - is legal. Might as well legalize the rest and sell them from State operated stores. That would take much of the power away from drug lords and we could use taxes generated from sales to treat addicts instead of throwing them into over-crowed prisons, the way we do now. I realize my stand won't be shared by a lot of folks. Its just MHO.
