Ever been to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting? Check your local listings – there are hundreds, if not thousands, in the town or city you live in. Anyone who had trouble getting alcohol during childhood is misremembering or lying. Think making drugs legal would lead to a decrease in consumption, or even a plateauing? How about “Joy Dust! It’ll F-ck You Up Right!” with some hot chick during the Sunday afternoon football game?
Come on you idiots. You can’t seriously believe your own crap. The only answer to the Afghan problem is the one already cited: we buy it, and burn it. It’ll probably just go somewhere else, but this is on our watch now out in Helmand. The only solution to the drug problem is not buying it – and no, people don’t do it because they’re “desperate,” but because drugs are so goddamn fun. Self-discipline is the answer, and not that much of it either.
