The 2008 Grammy Awards were the 3rd least viewed in recording industry history. Immigration banned the #1 winner Amy Whinehouse from entering the USA. No star. The wild-haired UK singer has a well-publicized relationship with drugs. Youtubes featured her smoking ice aka crystal meth. The reward for this exploit. Persona non grata same as John Lennon and Cat Stevens.

No trips to Disneyworld for Amy. She would be better off holidaying in Thailand.

Nothing like a crack holiday in the sun.

As Richard Pryor said, “I tried to stop but the pipe jumped back in my hands.”

Personally I’m all for letting people do what they want to do as long as they don’t drive under the influence or have to take care of small children or operate heavy machinery or work at a fast food restaurant. Actually I probably have more areas of prohibition, for having researched drugs throughout my long life, I realize the biggest problem with narcotics is that they are illegal.

In Switzerland addicts have an office at which they score. Young people seeing the wrecked bodies are less eager to risk their lives with a non-taboo. Legalization is not the answer. Only one of the answers, but you won’t hear a single politician in any country other than Bolivia saying that decriminalization is the solution.

Hugo Chavez is the poster boy for this campaign, as he openly chews coca leaves. No wonder he has the Castroesque gift of gab and that makes me wonder what Fidel had in his cigar.

No War of Drugs will succeed.

An even better solution came from my late-Uncle Carmine. He anted to create Crack Island, on which people could do whatever they want as long as they wanted wihtout any fear of persecution, however if they wanted to leave Crack Island they would have to go through a lengthy period of detox on neighboring Rehab Island.
