This "Drug War" is the most corrupt and idiotic plan in the last 30 years. U.S. tax dollars are being used to keep people from hitting bongs. Are you kidding me? We are already trillions of dollars in debt. How are citizens so unaware of this? It boggles my mind. |
Your last paragraph is one reason why legalization hasn't progressed further then it has. Think about it. The people that are keeping these laws around are the same people that made them. Calling their original plan idiotic and corrupt puts them on the defensive, something that's been happening since the War on Drugs began, and defensive people prevent results. The War on Drugs need to be refoucsed and redefined, not based on failures of past generations, but instead based on the vast amounts of knowledge those failures have brought.
And for anyone that says my last sentence sounds like I'm opposed to legalization, I'm not. I support the War on Drugs where I feel it's needed, i.e. keeping "hard" drugs(coke, crack, heroin) away from kids, shutting down meth labs that destroy the lives around it, etc.
