PROHIBITION IS NOT THE WAY TO CONTROL DRUGS

YOU SAID that "a crack house is no speakeasy." You are correct. Crack 
cocaine has not killed nearly as many people as the bathtub gin, or wood 
alcohol so often sold in the speakeasies decades ago.

Prohibition leads to nothing but crime, and impure or lethal drugs and 
death. A drug is a drug, and prohibition is not the way to control any of them.
