Criminal enforcement rarely fails to show in the system compared to being prohibited on mental grounds THAT part of the system fails far to often and needs to be vastly improved.
Yeah, you're right but it still needs to be aced and squared away airtight or close to it as possible.
It's doable, we did much the same thing with drunk driving...it's no longer "cool" to drive drunk and that's huge because I grew up in an era where even though it was illegal in most places, it was still a widespread problem and I saw at least two or three drunks on the road every week, and not even always at night either, sometimes in broad daylight.
One family man in my neighborhood was a real piece of work.
He looked like a DEAD RINGER for Jackie Gleason only instead of him being the belligerent ogre, he was the 100% henpecked husband, so he would take it out on everyone else instead, his sons, and anyone else in the neighborhood.
He used to beat the **** out of his sons, until the day came when they started fighting back.
So he tried threatening us motorheads instead, and got away with it a half dozen times till my best buddy told him he was going to shove a tire iron up his ass and down his throat if he didn't leave the driveway.
And he would come roaring up the street coming home from work every goddam night plastered to his gills.
The cops even followed him home right into his driveway on a few occasions but he never got nicked badly enough to where he had to stop driving or dry out and get sober, so I'm guessing he would pay the fine and just go back to business as usual...until the day came when he ran over a little girl who was trundling her way down the street on her little bike.
Except she wasn't on the street, she was on the sidewalk.
And so was he, going 40 mph.
She was killed instantly, he plowed the car into a tree and never even knew until a few minutes later.
And then they moved. I don't know what happened to him.
