Ask anyone you might know who smokes or does a snort now or then if they have any problems buying dope, also ask them if the price is about the same as ten years ago. Now tell me, who is it that bennefits the most, society or the propegation of bigger government and big brother. Disclaimer, I am not advocating illegal drug use. Just a simple question if the WOD is really worth it in money spent VS results in fewer drugs being available.

I don’t refrain from drugs because they are illegal and wouldn’t become a druggie if they were legalized. Abusers are not impeded because they are illegal either.

Lots of people are willing to break the law for the sake of their corrupt habits. It makes enforcement expensive and difficult for certain.

“Now tell me, who is it that bennefits the most, society or the propegation of bigger government and big brother.”

The US government has created the one perfect capitalist system. ATF/DEA and others have systematically eliminated or reduced the power of cartels that control drugs. The purpose of a cartel is to limit competition which keeps the price high. Since the US government has reduced cartels and their paramilitary competition suppressors the US government has moved consistently to create a free market. A free market is the most efficient means of supplying a product. Now, instead of all drugs going through one set of hands, they go through countless diverse hands keeping the price low. I’ll wager the street price on drugs has gone down with every increase in enforcement expenditures. WAY TO GO GOVERNMENT!

Stupid, lazy and cowardly American illegal drug users are so stupid, lazy and chicken that they won’t attempt to work and change their reality....they just buy and use illegal drugs to try and ignore reality for a few minutes and thereby fund some of the most vicious criminals this world has ever seen.

Contraband laws are absurd. They work as good as alcohol prohibition did.

But the Drug War Fascists will always rationalize their Tyranny, and the ever-expanding State necessary to impose it.

WOD=JOBS

Lots of folks make a living off of it, on both sides of the law and both sides of the aisle. It’s never going away, in my opinion.
