The War On Drugs Is A Failure

but where would the profit be in that?

None. But at least we’d have the benefit of using tax revenue to balance the budget so we wouldn’t have to borrow money for Social Security and Medicare.

I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Hold on. You’re telling me she’d rat him out for an illegal activity she BENEFITED FROM for years? But as long as she can continue to spend this illegal cash, she doesn’t have a problem–even though she could go to prison if she’s caught. My head is about to explode because I’m trying to use my rational mind to interpret this.

That’s exactly what happened. Don’t try to rationalize it, she was a f~~~ing psycho who cheated on him with three other guys, two former friends. She also used to take “product” while they were married.

I am all about those innocent people who are hurt by drug users, I couldn’t give a flying f~~~ about the users and pushers themselves.

Have you asked yourself why this is?
It’s because they are illegal.

They become dependent, they run out of money, they do what it takes to keep veins full, because of the law, these drugs are expensive, where does a broke ass junkie get drug money? Any way they can.

And PS, 95% of people who are using drugs aren’t hurting anybody, they are just trying to achieve peace of mind, why would anyone take drugs to become agitated and violent?

The laws are the problem.

You can't reason with unreasonable, there; women, figured out, there is nothing to reason.

Yes. And alcoholics will lie, cheat, and steal to get their fix, just like heroin addicts — obviously, this is more a problem when they are priced out of buying their drug(s) of choice, due to criminalization inflating prices above free market levels. I will say certain drugs are GENERALLY less addictive (heroin and meth would be among those I would call ‘highly addictive’). I would consider alcohol highly addictive to 5%-10% or so of the population that seems to be genetically predisposed towards alcoholism.

A lot of drug users are ‘high functioning’ — they can hold down a job, have a family, etc — I have seen this myself with alcoholics.

Morlock: I understand where you’re coming from as far as ice — it is one of THE most addictive drugs and is devastating. Alcohol and cigarettes may be on ‘a different level’ as you say, in that they’re socially acceptable across many groups, but lung cancer kills many millions of people every year, and alcohol and cigarettes shorten lifespans more than all the illegal drugs combined. I keep reminding my work colleagues who I care about, how much safer e-cigarettes are for them but I can’t get anybody to switch.

Call me a conspiracy theorist (which I am and I proudly wear the label), but the “War on Drugs” is just like the “War On Terror”, a well propagated fraud of the Illuminati. The Illuminati controls most of the politicians in the country. The politicians are just doing what the owners and bosses want. It’s like a hierarchy, where the Illuminati Royal Families are on top. Hell, even JFK got killed because of this phony “War On Drugs”, by the French mob. That was probably what f~~~ing sparked it.
