END DRUG BAN
The violence currently associated with drugs is due directly to our
bad public policies.
Labatt's is not having gunfights with Molson's in the streets over
beer sales and who owns what turf. Creditors have legal recourse to
collect debts; consumers have legal recourse if they get bad products.
These things do not exist in the black market. Only violence and the
threat of violence is the dispute-resolution mechanism.
If you want less violence, end drug prohibition.
