Can’t think of a better place to store ice : )

How long have Politicians & Police been having a war on people who use select drugs & between drugs? 40yrs? 50? How many billions or trillions have we wasted? How many lives & families ruined by punishments? Legalise & regulate. Only 'problematic' use need be a concern Auspol
