Larry Wiltshire, might be the one who's naive (Drugs a Problem in Vulcan County, Nov. 14, 2007); it's not a drug problem, it's a drug prohibition problem. The original prohibition increased gangs, crime, homicide etc. and it only subsided when alcohol prohibition ended. Once alcohol prohibition ended, murder rates decreased for 10 years, and there is reason to believe that ending the sequel will produce the same results. Further, cannabis (or kaneh bosm or marijuana) isn't a drug but rather a relatively safe God-given plant that should be re-legalized immediately.
