while trying to protect us from our human nature,

substances illegally, interception of drugs coming
from other countries while ending all drug
cultivation in the States, and prevention of
foreign governments from growing these substances.

Legalize It? : Debating American Drug Policy The
controversy surrounding the legalization of drugs
