hollandgirl: Should drugs, ALL drugs be free for everyone?.................
The war on drugs has been lost a loooong time ago. You read about the large catch the cops make at times. Much ado it made about it. The truth is; Not even 10% is confiscated. Think how many people would lose their job alone in the police forse already.
How much crime would be elliminated, job lose for many there too, judges, jailhouse keepers etc. etc? Anything that is iligal has more of an attraction, would it be so when you can get drugs free and anytime, anywhere?
