When the British tried to addict the Chinese to opium in the 19th century in order to trade drugs for Chinese goods, eventually the reaction of the Imperial Chinese government was execution of all drug dealers. A lot of people got executed but it dealt with the problem. And that is the genesis of similar drug laws in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and other Asian countries today.

I hate the “War on Drugs” and the resultant loss of freedoms by innocent citizens. I guess I just hate losing wars.

Blame your loss of Freedoms on the drug dealers. Just as Terrorists have caused us to undergo indignities whenever we need to fly, so too are drug dealers responsible for the suffering of the rest of us.

Direct your outrage at the real troublemakers.
