The Drug War Is A Catastrophic Failure

Quote from achilles28:

America is great at inventing new things to be scared of. Fear is a great industry. Probably the #1 industry in America.

And unfortunately the masses keep falling for it. Look how effectively they are currently destroying our privacy using fear. I hear people all over the news saying; "I don't mind them monitoring my every word and move if it makes me safer".

Game over.

Yup. That's it. Time to move. You know a US Army manual was leaked that details the operation of internment and reeducation camps in America. For Americans. Using social security numbers for processing.

I thought you were tough on smoking, what's up with smoking dope. smoke is smoke.

Like most people I don't like smoking in restaurants and most public places or in my home and I'd feel the same about weed smoke also.
 
Quote from CaptainObvious:

Let us not forget who is prosecuting this war. A completely inept and criminally corrupt government. Ending the war was never part of the plan. Too much money in it. So much so, that even taxing drugs would bring in less revenue, and that legal money would be more difficult to steal.

Taxing drugs would mean less money going to special interest groups (law enforcement, military, etc.) but it would be a net positive for government balance sheets. This train has left the station. States are broke and Marijuana legalization is a done a deal.

Why would people buy the stuff when it's so easy to grow?
 
Why do some people use drugs ?
Let them ruin their health.
Why should anyone else care ?
Health care systems should deny those sort of people any treatment on self inflicted problems. Save a lot of money.

True, not going to happen though. We no longer employ common sense in this country.
