Straight, Inc. and the rest of these places that are open today are NOTHING MORE than bad side effects of a much bigger problem- the drug war. The only way that places like this will cease to exist is if the war on drugs ends. It's as simple as the concept of supply and demand. So long as there's a "need" to "fight" against the "evils" of "drug addiction" places like this will remain open. They will always find a way to make it happen so long as they can. And with the current policies in place, they can and they will... Protests, letters of apology from Nancy Reagan, attempts to expose Mel Riddle, and hell.. even fucking with Miller Newton won't do much for the cause. While some or all of these things may be personally gratifying they are really not doing all that much to end the abuse of "druggies" in the grand scheme. Ok, so let's say you get KHK shut down, garner contempt for Mel Riddile, get Nancy to say "I'm sorry", get Miller defrocked, kicked to the curb and stoned to death by an angry mob of orthodox folks. What would any of these things accomplish aside from some personal satisfaction? There will still be people getting busted and sent up for long stretches over nothing more than a joint.. there will still be DARE people at your school trying to get kids to rat out their parents, drug testing in the workplace, and there will still be kids getting sent away to places offshore for some behavior modification... I mean after all, illegal drugs must be illegal for a reason, right? That's why the government wants to protect us from them, right? Well then our kids (and our parents) should listen to the government since they always know what's best for us....don't they?Does anyone really give a fuck? Or do you just like the attention you get for "helping the cause"? Couldn't some of our time and effort be better spent?
