jonrick46 you are right about the heroin. We are seeing it in the high schools in Colorado now and our prison nurse friend says the jail is now full with heroin people. Get ready america this stuff cuts across all demographics of race and affluence. The prices are going down so many people are getting hooked now.
Might have something to do with the depression.
But it proves the point. The War on Drugs is a failure.
We have surrendered liberty to government for a false promise that government could protect us and our children from drugs and the drug culture.
Of course it was a lie. Now we have No Knock Raids by paramilitary police units that take the word of paid informants with no corroborating evidence. They then break in to the house of innocent people, kill dogs, maim children, get themselves or innocent residents killed.
Sure drugs ruin a lot of lives, but those lives are theirs to ruin.
I am not willing to surrender my liberty and my civil rights for the false promise of security.
Prohibition didn’t work in the 1930s when alcohol was prohibited and it hasn’t worked since drugs have been prohibited.
Prohibition fuels a black market in the prohibited substance and the profits of the black market fuels criminal gangs.
