| Message | Prohibition is of benefit to no-one aprt from organised crime. What is worse, it has been proven in many studies that prohibition only makes drugs more attractive to the young NOT less attractive. Legalise them, we can monitor the purity, kill organised crime, and control addicition. Also all the money required to buld and maintain the drug rehabilitation clinics can come from the money the government makes from the sale of these products. In addtion this income may well pay for all the welfare the left-whinge can want! |

| Message | If it is legal the price will collapse and therefore organised crime will collapse. The reason organised crime make so much money from it at the moment is that they make it extremely UNPURE like sometimes only 5%, and any competition is murdered. If we make it legal the users know the purity they are getting, they know it is mixed only with safe substances the government agencies can make about a 10000% profit and it would still be about 50% of the current price therebye crippling organised crime. |
