MODERN-DAY PROHIBITION

As a Michigan police officer, I worked the trenches of the drug
war/prohibition for 18 years. Despite the arrest of millions of drug
dealers, the feds readily admit that drugs are readily available to
our kids. Joseph Brown, who realizes that after a trillion tax dollars
spent we are no closer to a drug-free America, wants a new strategy?
Me, too.

This is prohibition, not a drug war. We can eliminate the single
greatest evil force in America today - drug dealers - by following the
example of our grandparents, who did it in 1933: end the new
Prohibition.
