I agree with you 100%, the old saying that “freedom ends where your neighbor’s nose begins”ought to be applied. I’d think the “war on drugs” has cost as many lives as abusing drugs.
And, while I might not want my tax dollars spent on hospital bills and rehab centers for those who abuse, how many tax payer dollars have been spent on this so-called “war on drugs”?
I don’t know if all currently illegal drugs ought to be legalized or not, but I think some changes in law ought to be considered.
How serious is the government about enforcing drug laws when they arm the cartels? And whose dollars were spent on
that? And what is being done about that?
There just isn’t an easy solution.
When your son or daughter is killed or almost killed because of direct involvement with drugs, you’ll sing a different tune. Since when in America do we give up fighting a worthy cause? I’m taking about hard drugs here. Sorry, but this fight is a worthy one.
If you want to talk about a waste of money, let’s talk about negative ad campaign expenses. Now that’s some serious change!
