How Do We Deal with the Drug Problem?
1. Drugs
1It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United States within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and ll them at cost. Label each drug with a preci description of what effect the drug will have on the taker. This will require heroic honesty. Don’t say that marijuana is addictive and
dangerous when it is neither----unlike “speed,” which kills most unpleasantly, or heroin, which is addictive and difficult to kick.
2For the record, I have tried almost every drug and liked
none, disproving the popular theory that a whiff
of opium will enslave the mind. Nevertheless many drugs are bad and they should be told why in a nsible way.
短期内在美国解决毒品上瘾问题是有可能做到的。只需要提供各种毒品，并且以成本价格销售，在每种毒品上贴上准确的说明书，说明它对服药者会产生什么作用。这样做是需要英勇的坦诚的。不要总是说
大麻既容易上瘾又非常危险。大麻并不像“甲基苯丙胺”那样会导致极其痛苦的死亡，也不像海洛因那样容易使人上瘾又难以戒除。
我必须郑重声明：我曾经尝试过几乎每一种毒品，但没有一种能让我喜欢。这就批驳了那种认为吸一口鸦片就会使大脑受到奴役的流行的理论。然而，许多毒品是有害的，应该用明智的方法告诉人们它们的危害性。

3Along with exhortation and warning, it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation of men who believed that each man has the right to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbor’s pursuit of happiness.
4Now one can hear the warning rumble begin: If everyone is allowed to take drugs everyone will and we shall end up a race

of Zombies. Alarming thought. Yet, it ems most unlikely that any reasonably sane person will become a drug addict if he knows in advance what addiction is going to be like.
在告诫和警告的同时，我们最好提醒公民，美国的缔造者们相信，每个人都有权按照自己喜欢的方式去生活，只要他不妨碍别人追求幸福。
现在人们的耳边开始有警告声响起：如果允许人们吸毒的话，每个人都会去吸毒，我们的民族最终将成为一群呆板麻木的活僵尸。这种想法令人心惊肉跳。然而，任何一个头脑清醒、神志正常的人，如果事先已经了解吸毒上瘾是什么样子的话，是绝不可能成为瘾君子的。

5Is everyone reasonably sane? No. Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always
become alcoholic s, and it is just too bad. Every man, however, has the power (and should have the legal right) to kill himlf if he
choos. But since most men don’t, they won’t be mainliner s either. Nevertheless, forbidding people things they like or think they might enjoy only makes them want tho things all the more. This psychological insight is, for some mysterious reason, always denied our governors.
6It is a lucky thing for the American moralist that we have no public memory of anything that happened last Tuesday. No one in Washington today recalls what happened during the years alcohol was forbidden to the people by a Congress that thought it had
a divine mission to stamp out Demon Rum---launching, in the process, the greatest crime wave in the country’s history, causing thousands of deaths from bad alcohol, and creating a general (and persisting) contempt among the citizenry for laws of the United

7The same thing is happening today. But the government has learned nothing from past attempts at prohibition.
8Last year when the supply of marijuana was slightly reduced by the Feds, the pusher s got the kids hooked on heroin and deaths incread dramatically. Who fault? I think the Government of the United States was responsible for tho deaths.
The bureaucratic machine has a vested interest in playing cops and robbers. Both the Bureau of Narcotic s and the Mafia want strong laws against the sale and u of drugs becau if drugs are sold at cost there would be no money in it for anyone.
如今同样的情形正在发生，但在政府并没有从过去禁酒行动的尝试中吸取任何教训。
去年，联邦政府稍微降低了一下大麻的供应，毒贩便诱使孩子们染上了海洛因毒瘾，使得死亡人数急
剧上升。这是谁的错呢？我认为，美国政府应该对这些人的死负责。这些官僚机器从警察抓强盗的游戏中获得利益。麻醉药品管理局和黑手党都需要强有力的法律来反对销售和使用毒品，因为如果毒品以成本价格出售，任何人都将无利可图。
