A Startling Assessment...

[Rogbo]

if it was sold legal, where would the adicts get there drug money? I think the same place they get it now. they would steal and rob.

[John Wayne]

I watched cocaine addicts in the states, function, earn money, send very little home, the rest went to their pleasures......

But that was just the commercial fishing industry......

Where they earned honest money, none hardly had a job of real responsibility....

You want to be a trash man go ahead....

Generations ago all that crap was legal, and society didn't have the problems of today....

Remember prohibition?

The US had more problems and drunks per capita than we do today, and no I am not going to look it up and give a reference, it is pretty much common knowledge.....

I do not like the stuff, but this so called "War on Drugs" is not working so another approach needs to be done...

Ever here of the Opium wars?
Mid nineteenth century wars by Brutish Empire to force China to allow the importation of opium to destroy the population of China, by making them drug addicts, and destroying their will to resist colonization. It was done in the name of free trade, the same as slavery.

Drugs destroy nations and destroy minds.

A real war on drugs can easily be won if people show the political courage to fight it. Otherwise, perhaps you deserve to live in a hellhole like Juarez, where civilization is collapsing?

We all are victims. You´re choice to use illegal drugs may be funding narco terorism in Mexico or Colombia that is destroying those nations. You may be funding the Taiban in Afghanistan that is killing our soldiers.

You would be showing by example to your family and friends that reality is too hard for you to deal with and that you´d rather escape.

As a citizen of a great republic you are spitting on the graves of those who sacrificed their lives to give you the gift of citizenship in such a nation. With that gift it was intended that you would develop your mind and abilities to contribute something of value to the future generations.

By using drugs you are failing yourself, your nation, and your family.

During a time of threatened pandemics such as swine flu legalizing drugs would weaken the populations resistance to such diseases, and make them much more deadly.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

.I would say bring home the troops. Stop funding these groups you are talking about by keeping drugs illegal.Stop posting links to a site I don't give a **** about. I'm not wasting my mind.You don't own me so please don't tell me what I can do with my body.I don't think the founding farther wanted a nation of war.

You can jam all of the anything you want into your body. Just grow it at home and don't buy it from sources that you know are wreaking havoc on society. How does that cut into your personal freedom?

[TheWix]

@ Sailover,
OK, Thank you for saying I'm a free man. What does keeping drugs illegal do ? If someone has a medical problem why not treat them for that? Why not take the money away from the bad guys? Also, it's not a war on drugs. It's a war on people that do drugs. Beer and all the other things people drink are drugs too. Why not have a war on them? Please explain.
When are people going to realize keeping drugs illegal in the problem or at lease making it worse?

[Rogbo]

I’ve seen a program on TV recently, having to do with Border Protection in the USA, I was surprised and shocked at the light prison sentences that some drug smugglers receive. Seems to me that the upside for them is astronomical and the downside is almost nil.

So lets say today is the start of Prohibition II, no more beer, wine, whisky, etc. Caught with 1 and your arrested. You are a criminal hiding from the do gooders and all the businesses making money screwing with your freedom while taking your rights away. Oh yea, lets make cigarettes illegal also because people are dying from this terrible drug. More police, courts, jails....$$$$

[John Wayne]

We have tried the Prohibition, it didn't work......

Where do we take it from here Guy's?

It is an expensive problem you know...

Look who makes the most free and clear money off liquor and tobacco sales, and has not set up one single aid station....

There is a solution to our problems, I know there has to be....
