Is that your strongest argument? A smell?

If anything broke down the social norm against drug use it was the heroin and opioid epidemics.. Which started shortly after Afghanistan.

Probably the trillions of dollars pumped into feeding terrorism instead of going on free school lunches and the like pushed people into drug use as well.

Seriously, I don't know how people can miss the mark this far. Yet apparently many in DC do, and it's getting REAL OLD.
