 A great idea, Vern...

 End game? Give up. Quit. Relax. Tune in. Turn on. Or not. Choose!

 As far a grass is concerned, the word should be expunged from the criminal
code.
 Put on the same basis as...Drano, say. Is eating/drinking Drano a criminal
 act?

 Perhaps something can be done about free-basing, if that became the
 focus...but I have my doubts. My grandfather would have laughed to think
 that the U.S. government would be involved with what individual people did
with
 their own bodies. "Everybody chooses his own poison", he said (often).
 Some will die of overdoses. Good. Thins the herd.
 There are normal punishments for not being able to handle your drugs.
 Unemployment, losing your drivers licence, that sort of thing. The stupid
 will fall into that. The stupid break and enter too; this should be a
 greater risk to their lives, but that is another question.

 I'm not *always* a liberal... :-)

 Cheers!
