*It isn't drug prohibition that is causing the problem...it is the wide spread use of drugs.If you legalize street drugs more people will use them, and the problem will grow. The law, in this case, isn't the problem its the unfortunate individuals who get caught in their grasp...sometimes out of curiosity, or rebellion and other times by the chicanery of an individual who knows how addictive drugs are and wishes to ensnare others for profit.
