Actually, most who abuse drugs, got their start with
alcohol -- that's the first step onto the "slippery slope" that starts the abuse.
So let's ban alcohol!
No wait, they tried that already. It didn't work.
Drug abuse (and in some cases even "use" if not related to use for medicinal purposes) is a
psychological problem.
It is just plain stupid to be using the police and judicial system to try to correct the problem.
To have the police trying to stop drug abuse, is about as dumb as trying to have social services stop bank robberies!
