I mean we haven’t eliminated OD’s here either. We never will. People’s desire to be intoxicated will always be there and the need will always be met. Education is how you address issues with drug use, not criminalization. We have people hesitant to get help because of the criminal nature of their behavior. Genuinely, what good has come from prohibition? Because it’s not currently theoretical, we’re living it out. Prohibition is currently creating a worse world to live in. I’ve got to ask you, are you planning on going and creating a heroin habit for yourself if it were attainable tomorrow? Is simple access to heroin the barrier between you and just totally being unable to control yourself or is it that you know that would be a bad idea and you wouldn’t engage in that either way? What was more effective in your life in preventing you from sinking to the depths of drug addiction education or prohibition?
