Thanks, Jerome!  I also think you're right about focusing solely on the supply side -- it's ridiculous and has been proven ineffective to say the least.  

Isn't it a basic rule of economics that if there's a demand there will be a supply?  I've noticed in the British and Canadian news that when they discuss the drug laws, they say "driving addicts to the black-market."  I think that's a much more sensible way of looking at it.

Maybe we can eventually make language a complete impediment to understanding. -Hobbes
