SZ, we have more people in prison per capata than ANY other nation on the planet earth. The majority of that is drug-related.
Other than killing addicts and dealers, how do you propose that we become harsher? How have we ever been ‘soft’ on the WOD? For the love of gd, we’re destroying lives over prescribed pain meds.
In your mind, what would it take to ‘win the war’?
I say end the ‘war’ and turn this into a public health issue. As a smoker, I must admit that they’re doing a pretty good job of dropping cigarette use with this approach and that’s a tougher nut to crack than heroin.
You must ask yourself, what methods actually *work*?
Again, I’m not coming down on one side or the other...yet.
If one is going to fight a war, fight to win. Otherwise, don’t fight. I’ve already given you my tactic for “winning the war”...
Yet, by all appearances in the video you posted, the cop had no problem with helping to populate the prisons did he?
He and thousands like him were and are part of the problem...
So I ask myself, how does it benefit him and others like him who were once a major contributor to the “problem” now likely to benefit by promoting legalization?
