PROHIBITION UPS DANGER

If drug prohibition did not exist, would Mack Herron be a hall of
famer in both Canada and America? The the answer is likely yes.

In short, drug prohibition ruined Herron's life, not the drug use per
se. Who is to tell to what heights Herron would have risen if he were
judged on his talent rather than what amounted to be his bad habits.

Where would Babe Ruth have been if he was arrested for his bad habits
rather than being celebrated in spite of them?
