I don’t use and I despise the war on drugs.
It has turned into a war on the people of the United States, and it will go on in perpetuity because it employs so many people, from the street corner lookout to Supreme Court Judges and every person and industry in between.
It is responsible for the militarization of the police, bloated courts, an overwhelmed penal system, serious civil rights violations and has caused more challenges to the 4th Amendment than any other source. It has beeen responsible for many serious challenges to the 2nd Amendment as well.
The WOD has been going on for 40 years. The Cold War only laste 40 years.
It needs to end now.
I undertand the corruption and I’ll-gotten gains that come from the “war on drugs” but they should still be illegal for many reasons. So many criminal activities are linked to both procuring drugs (theft, robbery, gang activity, prostitution, etc...) and the immoral culture that feeds it without even factoring in fallout activity (automobile accidents, domestic assault, sexual assault brought on by lowered inhibitions, etc....) that common sense should tell a person of reasonable intelligence they are bad and contribute to the decay of a society.
look at the damage to society from promiscuity...from out of wedlock children....from homosexuality...from laziness..from sloth...from gluttony...from ALCHOL and DRUG abuse...
govt has over reached in many areas, including the drug wars, but they never really intend to "win" the drug wars do they?....too many big timers getting their millions off the illegal drug trade....
