The Center for Disease Control and Prevention made headlines this month after reporting that from 1999 to 2012, the number of drug overdose deaths in the United States more than doubled.
That is a sobering statistic, but it doesn’t reveal the true scope of the rising number of drug deaths or the true extent of America’s failure in the war on drugs...

The War on Drugs has had the same effect on drugs as the War on Poverty has had on poverty.
You’d almost think that was the intent. /sarc
People are stupid...
If the drug abusers would just stop or go away there would be no market, drug lords, killings and far less unstable countries that the self medicating crowd finances.

You ever post any responses in the threads you post?
If the feral government wants to make sure that guns are readily available to anyone, all they have to do is outlaw them.
That’s interesting. Not a single follow-up post since joining in April.
Hey, that’s not bad.
“The War on Guns”.
;-)
And if a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass on the ground.
True - but drug users going away is a utopian fantasy like those beloved of the left. There is a realistically do-able way to take drug profits away from criminals - the same way we took alcohol profits away from criminals: legalization.
They will never be brought under control once they are here.
Obama knows this.
If not Mexicans and their poverty, diseases, and drugs, it will be Ebola victims for humanitarian purposes, right?
His ONLY response EVER was to whine that is blog is “hardly” a blog.

Blog. News source.
What’s the difference?
Lots of annoyance as there are guidelines bloggers are expected to follow

Soaring overdose deaths.
By all means, let’s legalize heavy drugs.
It just hurts ONLY them, right? Zero collateral damage to anyone else or society.
These are two different issues tied together on purpose.
THe War on Drugs as termed by BigGovt has been the excuse used to militarize internal security forces. If they had actually used SWAT for intended purposes we wouldn’t have the druggie landscapes - or the gangbangers and drug lords - existing as large and strong as they do in the cities.
The myth that hard drugs should be legal because it on;y hurts that person, is bullsh1t. We have 50 years of misery and death and damaged family and corroded society that says otherwise. And don’t give me that sh1t heavy drugs are the same as alcohol, nobody’s buying that lie either.
We need to disarm the militarized police because they aren’t being used the way they said they were going to be. We were lied to. See Freedom From War State Dept Pub 7277 to understand what SWAT is all about.
Just because we need to demilitarize police because they were sold to the public under false pretenses doesn’t mean heavy drugs ought to be legalize because they only hurt the drug user. That’s just as much bullsh1t as the SWAT’s going to used to get rid of drug houses/gangbangers lie.

I know. I was being facetious.
