and I ask myself, since the war on drugs started, there had to be a drug problem before it started, right?
I mean, there was a REASON it started, right?
So, since the very presence of drugs is what the problem is, and the law is trying to prevent the presence of drugs, how is legalizing that which caused the social problems to begin with going to help??
Yup. I think the reason it started was to create the problem and offer the solution on the federal scale along with corrupting society. Just like alcohol, it seems that when you ban a substance, criminals are turned into wealthy kings who end-up getting their people into public office. What’s the only logical solution to rid ourselves of illegal drugs and the social problems it feeds into? Execution of users and sellers. Anything less only feeds government corruption as we blatantly see now on every level. How else can we be safe and secure in our societal structuring?
I think for one ending incarceration of drug users will be one step to justice.
Ask yourself what created the mafia. It was the prohibition of alcohol. Drugs prohibition gave rise to drug empires. If we stopped making it illegal the black market would end.
