       | > Half-measures, such as not prosecuting cocaine users, are not

       | criminals who produce it, and decriminalisation of consumption
       | will probably increase demand and boost their profits. The real
       | answer is full legalisation, allowing non-criminals to supply a
       | strictly regulated, highly taxed product, just as whisky- and
       | cigarette-makers do. (Advertising it should be banned.)

       | Maybe we can get "Code Completion" added to the slang words for
       | cocaine,
