Then you're not eliminating the associated crime and essentially burying your head in the sand. The truth is, there are some people that are so addicted they will do what they can to get drugs including murder. By providing them the drugs for free (given a financial need) without strings, you are allowing them do what they would do anyway but in a contained place and without resorting to crime. This drys up the distribution networks and drives up the price. You've also stepped up enforcement and investigation because you've repatriated money that's now spent arming Colombian guerrillas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:209919 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
