Amen.

Phill Phree for Drug Czar!

Phill,
these Draconian Drug War punishments stike me as so hypocritical.
For example: we don't have "Whacking your own thumb with a hammer War". Whacking your own thumb with a hammer is bad enough on its own. We don't need to augment the harm by further statutory punishments.

But the Drug Warriors seem to be arguing that:
a: drug abuse is extremely bad for you, AND
b: it's not bad enough, so they have to make the consequences WORSE, with decades long imprisonment, asset forfeiture, etc.

If drug abuse is so bad, then shouldn't it by itself be sufficient punishment?
And if not, THEN WHAT THE DEVIL IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT???
