Hhhuuuhhhh, and drugs and odumbo are destroying my country, go figure.
Bull Cheese. It's time to START the War on Drugs. Luis here does not understand the US is complicit with enabling the Drug Trade. If the US had any intent on fighting the WOD, we would be in Guatemala, Mexico, even troops on our own borders would be a start; but nope.
The US is only too happy with the $tatus Quo.
Great idea!
Lets manufacture our own weed, coke , and heroin here in the USA.
More jobs created, and increased tax revenue!.
Even throw in a free heroin overdose with every EBT card purchase.
This has legs.
The War on Drugs is an industry that puts food on the table, kids through college, pays for health insurance, funds retirement, and so on.
The War on Drugs was never fought correctly...programs like BAD (Bears Against Drugs) and others never fully achieved the message that each individual has a choice - and self-accountability and responsibility was left out...accompanied by the settings of these programs, public schools - allowed for a young culture to grow up not thinking or analyzing situations while leaving that to others. They were lazy and fell into the spectrum of casual drug use to major drug use.
Those that choose not to do drugs had nothing to do with anti-drug programs, but stemmed from a level family life and support from others that made possible the environment that such social behaviors never flourished. They basically made the choice not to do drugs due to the risk and unacceptable consequences of such behaviors.
The approach has to be multi-prong in its delivery. Bringing back competition and universal laws as in the Bible’s 10 Commandments would aid this...the home, social, entertainment, and school environments promote drug use more and more - and the youth cannot distinguish the propganda that is being feed to them - because the left has used the very multi-prong approach with high success!
It is time to end the banks, big business, and governments part is laundered money, selling drugs, and transportation of drugs.
The war on drugs is creating violence in Central and South America, the Caribbean and in our own country.
As long as we attack the supply side with no focus on demand side, it is wasteful, ineffective and unending.
War on drugs
War on poverty
War on terrorism
War on hunger
we seem to be getting more of all those things by getting the government involved and we can’t afford it.
The War on (some) Drugs, like the War on Poverty perfectly achieved its objective. In both cases the purpose of the Wars was to grow government power, influence and strength while teaching a population that some of their rights are, not only unnecessary, but actually harmful to them. It taught the subject populace that big mommy government knows best and ought to be in charge of more and more of their lives.
Mission accomplished. After decades of “War” more people are poor and more people use drugs but the government is bigger, more intrusive and dangerous and we have seen our rights diminished.
The war on drugs is not the problem, the drug abusers are the problem.
Thus, the kick-backs flowing to DC have to be absolutely tremendous by now.
To hell with the war on (some) drugs. It is no more effective than Prohibition, and has had the same effect of making criminals rich and corrupting the police and government.
Before the 1930’s you could buy morphine, opium, and pot for your own use and it had little to no effect on the country. I don’t seen why we need to have Civil Rights constantly threatened in the name of the “War on Drugs.”
These days, I’m less worried about druggies than I am about cops.
Like spending trillions more of our borrowed money to create the most powerful police state the world has ever known, would somehow, just somehow, bring us to that Utopia we all know can be! Just start stacking bodies and our Constitution Republic will be restored.
With human trafficking, human slavery/prostitution, murder for hire, and kidnapping among the other business interests of those involved in “organized crime” in “latin america”, legalizing pot (and cocaine and x and meth and heroin and...) isn’t going to end their crime waves. Your governments and military and legal system are corrupt as f***. FIRE them all and lock them up for life.
I think it’s the drug trade that’s destroying your country, instead of whining maybe change your government to one that will do something about it, like lining up the gangsters against a wall and shooting them.
