Kasim,
I just picked up Alistar Crowley's book last year. It was pretty interesting.
I think the so called "War on Drugs" is a joke, and that while on the one hand there are police who are busting dealers, seizing shipments, etc, etc,., there are also politicians or others who let the drugs come in. It's not just underground organizations that get rich off drug money.
Although, back in the day when these drugs were easier to get, and there were fewer addicts, I think because of the society we have people really want to seek escape for all kinds of different reasons, and that either way, there would still be the addiction problems that we have now. I am for legalization and control though since I believe that could help eliminate the criminal element.
However, maybe my opinion is too simple-minded.
