I used to get flamed when I brought up the idea of even addressing the WOD...called names, etc. and told I must want children to shoot up.
when it comes to drugs, we are sooooo off base.Logic goes out the window, freedom and personal rights go out the window, anti-govt control goes out the window and suddenly we are in alice in wonderland or the 1920’s marijuana scare movies.
We can make drugs restrictive to children, teenagers, and impaired drivers and yet not spend billions on “enforcement” that is prohibition on steroids. The truth is there are too many vested interests, economic and political, that do NOT want to “solve “ the drug problem.
There have been plenty of former DEA agents who have said our approach is futile and counterproductive, rational intelligent, concerned and expereinced people in south America who beg us to call off the WOD...
But really, the mass of citizens just really don’t ‘think”.
You bet, those in the courts, probation, jails, prisons, prison contractors, judges, cops, DA's, thousands of government lawyers, governments etc, etc, have no desire to see their, "clients" go away.
They'd have to eliminate millions on the government payroll. No way that's going to happen.
So lets just keep this whole WOD business.... business as usual.
