Right on! The gov't. , or anyone else for that matter, can't guarantee our happiness( or anything else, even though campaign promises are made to assure us of our "continual happiness" forever, courtesy of "Big Brother") our right to be complete failures is assured. Yes, TV was invented to program the "mindless zombies", MTV anyone? Yes, El_Gordo, I agree that MD's are over prescribing these designer drugs on a large scale(Kickbacks anyone). Nowadays if you have any kind of problem, be it physical ,emotional or mental, the first mode of treatment is to take a pill. Truly sad commentary on the "State of the Union".

Mindless zombies? Isn´t that why tv was invented? Such a drug would not be affected by legalization because like Prozac, it would be a regular, approved drug from the beginning. There´s a good movie idea. Whether to government wants it or not, too many people who are not truly ill are taking this stuff. Who said we have a right to be happy all the time?

Yes, but with the advent of "Designer Drugs"(Xanax, Zoloft, Prozac, Welbutrin, etc, etc, do you think the gov't. wants us to be "mindless zombies"?) After all these new drugs actually change the chemical balance of the Brain and have the capacity of changing us to "mindless zombies", in clinical research these drugs have proven to be even more addictive than "street drugs", as they are more pure, uncut.

Thanks. Well, we would not need government labs to make a legal product. That´s why we have the pharma industry. At least until Obama nationalizes them. Some very harmful or addictive products like crack would not be available (but since cocaine will be cheap, who will want crack?) The problem is nobody knows what legalization does to a society like ours. Chances are it will not be all pretty.

Actually I produced that show for the History Channel–and yes it is chilling

Absolutely! Think of the millions of dollars in enforcement and the lives saved. Government regulated, quality-controlled, sold to individuals over 21…there are myriad reasons to legalize numerous drugs.

I definitely see your point. However, then do we build gov't. labs where they make crack, meth, snortable and injectable heroin, cocaine, so on and so on? It is a sticky wicket, indeed. I don't know where the answer lies, probably somewhere in between. thanks for your comments, El_Gordo, I welcome them anytime.

The point of legalizing these drugs is to cut off the flow of billions to criminal organizations which have become powerful enough to challenge states. I´m not sure that legalisation would deliver a net benefit – we can debate that forever – but it would achieve at least that much.

They want SF action, give it to them. Intelligence first – who are the targets, what are their methods and areas of operation? Find them, track them, destroy them. Arrange "accidents" for the Zetas top dogs in NV too, if you can.

They want to "hardball it with the big boys", start with the brushback.

If people could just go to the drug store and buy drugs, all these problems would go away. Who profits by keeping drugs illegal?
