The other day I was talking to an asst. Well, let me clarify that. I handle the homicides, assaults, robberies and child abuse cases, probably seventy-five percent of which are related to drug prohibition. Parents doing prison time for drug possesion don't generally make good parents. They're not there.
Kids grow up in broken homes, look for easy money, get into trouble with the law.
I'm not suggesting that the harms drugs cause would dissapear if we regulated their sale as we did with alcohol. We'd still have neglected and abused kids out there. When we realize the harm prohibition causes and reconsider how we deal with drugs in this country.
