Quote: If this presentation saves but one young girl or boy from becoming a 'dope fiend' -- this its story has been well told Oh boy ... there we go again. Well, substitute the 'dope fiend' with alcoholic, drug adict or even radioactive contaminated and some real problems reveal themselves. What prohibition can lead to can be examined at the border between the US and Mexico at the moment. Countless deaths ... for what? Drugs ... and the only one to benefit from it are those who have the power to control them. Legalize them ... in an appropriate way.
