To me, it is pointless to have the current prohibition against drugs
when the most abused drug, alcohol, is legal everywhere.  There is
absolutely no difference between drugs and alcohol, except that
alcohol is generally more harmful than most drugs, esp. weed...
The governent should wake up and realize that people like to use
drugs for whatever reason, and that these people are also citizens
and taxpayers.  I think it should be obvious when you have
conservative republicans [cf New Mexico's governor] advocating
legalization that the mood is changing.
