This statement just show that you don't know many, if any LEOs, and why they do their job or why they make a career of it.

Go ask ANY LEO who works the street and ask them if they would like to see crimes involving drugs go away.

It's easy to stop creating addicts. Don't ever try drugs. It really is that simple.

Folks who want to legalize drugs constantly whine about the legalization and "personal responsibility", yet that same lack of personal responsibility allows them to stick that glass dik in their mouth or the syringe in their body for the first time is what creates addicts, not some law.
