Thread: War on Drugs

I have a very simple question for anybody who wants to answer it.

Prohibition of alcohol was a tragic clusterfuck. It had to end. Prohibition of the other drugs is a tragic clusterfuck. Why does it not have to end?

I saw the U.S. drug czar get asked that question by a caller on Larry King a few years ago, and the drug czar dodged it, despite its extreme relevance.

UM: Because that would be the sensible option. Therefore it will take a very long time to happen.

The "War on Drugs"

In simpler terms really just is a "War on Americans"

Humans will always do drugs, we like drugs. Making them illegal just shows that the government does not give a fuck about the people who live in this country.

So what if a few kids get hooked on herion or crack, alot better then the thousands of innocent kids being kill all the time from the gang wars and all the crime the "war on americans" creates.

Because we are not in controll of this country, this is a consitutional republic and the dictators we elect into office are allowed to do whatever they want.

I prey for the day this country becomes a democracy, (even if i dont believe in god/preying).

How long before the war on drugs starts cracking down on prescription drugs? These are the fastest growing drugs of "abuse" in the U.S., and some are more dangerous than most illicit drugs. I bet within the next 10 years, a lot of opiate painkillers will be illegal too. Then IT'S ON!!! I'll start the war on the war on drugs.

Unlikely.
Governments usually don't want us to not take drugs,
they just want us to take their drugs.

So the pharmaceutical drugs, even if sometimes more
dangerous, will probably stay the same. And that's not
really a good thing, IMO, because they don't always aim
at helping people. Especially the pharma-industry is more
interested in getting people hooked and in making a lot
of profit, much rather than actually doing anything decent.

Drugs that make you question things or will be economically
bad for a major industrial branch will be prosecuted like the
antichrist, by propaganda and force.
