The prohibition quiz
Give the following quiz to just about anyone on the left, and they'll probably know the correct answer:
Question: The banning of medical marijuana and recreational marijuana has caused which of the following effects?
A) The growth of a huge underground economy of illegal sales that pumps billions of dollars into the hands of drug gangs.
B) The filling of America's prisons with non-violent criminals who don't really deserve to be in prison.
C) The creation of a massive, tyrannical War on Drugs, complete with armed DEA raids on citizens' homes and the growth of an armed domestic agency that terrorizes many Americans.
D) All of the above.
It's a simple fact of economics and human behavior: Prohibition doesn't work.
Not with alcohol (1920's - 1930's), not with marijuana (present-day "War on Drugs") and not with guns (2013).
Prohibition always has the same 3 effects:
1) Fills the prisons with a whole new class of "criminals" who really aren't criminals.
2) Creates a huge expansion of a new federal agency that terrorizes the people (DEA).
3) Drives huge profits into the hands of criminal gangs who control the underground market.
