Prohibition does not work....

it just keeps a lot of crims and corrupt police and other law enforcement people in da money.  Creeps all of them....

not to mention all the people caught in the middle.. suffering. 

People seem blind to what is staring them in the face....  but you know its all about fear.... 
unreasonable irrational fear,,, on the part of the hood-winked public.
Made that way by the propaganda governments and OTHERS  have been spreading,,, for yrs....

to protect their own interests..

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

No, just never had contact with any drugs, never got involved.

Well I avoided drugs while I was young and stupid.
But I have seen enough since to form an opinion.

First Prohibition does work for some.

I always want to ask the pro drug people where they would draw the line with prohibition.

Is it ok for 5 year olds to take drugs?

If you believe its not acceptable, then you actually do support some kind of prohibition.
Its just at what level prohibition should be enforced.

That would put us on the same side of the debate.

that's a bit silly don't you think?  Is 5 yrs old OK? 
Obviously not.  Sad

But at least we have guidelines in place which shows the way.

That is ,  like alcohol...  not legally available to minors.  Roll Eyes

did you?? 

Oh  you mean yourself...  one example of Prohibition working.

But,  is that being truthful.??
You said you were never involved .. just never  had any contact with drugs,...
So ... Prohibition has had no impact on you one way or the other, really has it.??
Perhaps subject to circumstances,  such as your location...   your family...  your beliefs...   

I suggest the outcome would have been the same whatever the Law...  prohibited or otherwise..
perhaps you have never had a drink of alcohol, or a cigarette either.. 
..it is not clear.. but to say Prohibition worked for you,
is I suspect, a piece of sophistry.

Sophism is a dark art used by lawyers and learned persons, not my cup of tea (herbal tea no caffeine)

I believe prohibition also worked for my children.

So we are up to three without leaving the house.

I have often wondered why  some pot smokers take on their cause with the zeal of a Christian fundamentalist.
I would have thought anyone with confidence in their beliefs would find no need to prothlesize
