Hard Work and Simple Solutions

Some people feel everything should be legalized: marijuana, heroin, cocaine. While Prohibition was a failure, it is also evident that legalizing alcohol has not eliminated the disastrous consequences of alcoholism. What is needed in our culture is more self-restraint. Unfortunately, while voices for legalizing drugs are loud, advocates of self-restraint are few and far between. Recovering people have learned the hard way that only discipline prevents self-destruction. It would be well if society appreciated this and made a greater effort to avoid simple solutions.
