Drug War Continued...

We should have translated the lessons learned from the prohibition of alcohol, but we didn’t. I discuss the failed drug war specifically in my article on the border, but it is appropriate to mention here again that the first drive-by shooting was a direct result of alcohol prohibition, and the first gun restriction law in this country was a direct result of the same. The Prohibition of Alcohol Era was a disaster, and the Prohibition Era currently in this country is and continues to be a disaster! What is the disconnect that perpetuates the inability to see that the prohibition of a substance (driving a market “underground”) will inevitably lead to the blood and carnage of organized crime? We blame the cartels for existing, and yet we fuel their existence. Insanity.

​If we are sincerely interested in decreasing the pain and suffering surrounding drug addiction, we must look for actual solutions. We could take a lesson from Portugal because "everything you think you know about addiction is wrong."
