DRUG BAN BREEDS VIOLENCE

Remember when Americans felt so protective of their children that they 
decided to ban alcohol?

The decision to ban alcohol seemed like a nice thing to do for society. But 
it really amounted to a declaration of armed aggression against alcohol 
users, because alcohol laws were enforced using guns.

And that is why Americans realized that banning alcohol was a bad thing. 
The same is happening today. A ban of the drug advocates armed aggression 
against people who use marijuana.

Letis say NO to the armed aggression against nonviolent Americans who 
happen to use pot.
