That's right, let's not educate the children of America about the evils of illicit drugs. Let's not tell them that there is a definite link between drug trafficking and the sponsorship of world-wide terrorist organizations. Let's hide the truth from our kids. LOL.

These people who want to decriminalize and legalize drugs, like heroin, cocaine and marijuana, are out of their minds! Overall drug use in America, has been cut in half over the last two decades. The President's National Drug Control Strategy that includes prevention, treatment and intervention, is working.

The War on Drugs is a War against our own people. It is inhumane to lock up drug users in jails where they are beaten and raped. In any war, the first casualty is always the truth, and War is Hell, right, so inncents might get shot in a drug-raid-gone-wrong, oops, sorry 'bout yer family.

If every drug were illegal, then say goodbye to coffee and COCA-cola, vitamins and Free Prescription Drug schemes for selfish senior citizens. I think Prohibition should have taught us about gangsters, but the streets in my hood were washed with blood in Capone-style drivebys in the 80's and 90's. There's dozens more reasons why legalization is more civilized, personal liberty and responsibility chief among them, not to mention the Biblical arguments.

What link? Cite a source for that please. The idea that SOME drugs have a link to terrorists is plausible, but ALL drugs? Thats the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard. That vast majority of marijuana in the US is domestically grown, or comes from canada/mexico.

These people who want to decriminalize and legalize drugs, like heroin, cocaine and marijuana, are out of their minds!

I know very very few people who want to legalize heroic, cocaine AND marijuana. Many people are for decriminalizing all 3, but not legalizing. Most people I know are only for legalizing marijuana. As for being out of my mind because I am for decriminalization, I guarantee you I am not.

Nice cogent thought. Bush has been President for 1+ years, not 2 decades. Likewise, your information on drug usage is incorrect.

Hey, should we educate them about the link between gasoline and terrorism? Or do we just ignore that one?
