"3. A ban will eventually be lifted, because of the impracticality of drug enforcement, LEA corruption, the creation of black market drugs of questionable quality, gangs raiding evidence room stockpiles, ineffectiveness, sympathetic jurors, etc. The sooner it goes into effect, the sooner it goes away." Once a massive enforcement agency is founded, as we've seen time and again this century, it rarely gets smaller and more limited in scope, and _very_ rarely ever goes away altogether. And rest assured that, like the IRS, EPA, and the Park Service, this new agency will have its own Special Weapons teams, snipers, APV's...everything a self-respecting TLA needs. -stonedog On Thu, 18 Sep 1997, Wei Dai wrote:
