Any argument to get that drug. That is how powerful it is.
There is no waste in spending money to prevent a drug damaged culture. The corrupt politicians want people spending their time in a stupor. It was not stopped due to politicians wanting the money. Aerial spraying of the farms, more severe penalties for possession would have further reduced the use. The President of Columbia offered to allow the U.S. to send helicopters to spray the fields it was stopped. The Taliban stopped the poppy production and we went to war against them. The U.S. marines were destroying the poppy fields in Afghanistan and they were ordered to stop. We are now treated to pictures of Marines walking through the poppy fields filled with blooming heroin poppy’s. There has never been a real war on drugs. Don’t give me the phony argument a war on drugs does not work. It could be stopped in six months with a real attack on production of supply and severe penalties for the demand side. There has been a “Media Boom” advocating Marijuana use over the last few years. The problem is political and social and needs addressing.
One can never totally eliminate vice one can only prevent its spread to the healthy portions of society.
You argue like a gun grabber. Like a gun grabber, you place blame on a thing, not on behavior of people. Your policies put millions of non violent people in prison. Your beloved SWAT teams kick in about one hundred doors a day in violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Pot is cheaper, more readily available, and more potent than before your stupid war on a plant began. If you so dislike what Colorado did, feel free to not visit.
