Prohibition of drugs. Criminals love to see it. Why do we make their day?

Prohibition of drugs. Criminals love to see it. Why do we make their day?

You will know why criminals love to see us prohibit the various social drugs that we and our children consume.

Why did you vote to make their day?

Why are we fighting a drug war against our own children when our intelligentsia pushes for drug legalization so that we can then control in a better way what we and our children consume?

Our children are the ones dying due to our drug war, --- while we adults hide behind legislation that criminals love to see?

The fact is that there is a way to kill the drug cartels in short order- and that is to take the profit out of it. No profit incentive- no drug cartels. No choice, they would be out of business.
How? Government takes control of providing drugs to addicts. Prices them at the cost of production. Yes, I know, the screaming complainers would be going berserk.
But, several things would happen that can't happen now, and haven't been achieved in the 50 year war on drugs. The complainers and critics should consider them:

* The addicts would be signing up to buy drugs through the government program- they would have to if the cartel and illicit peddlers disappear.
They would be known to the controlling agency, but their privacy maintained, and thus could be helped with support and rehab programs- thus steadily reducing their number and
restoring their productivity as citizens.
* The intentional introduction of children to drugs to make get them addicted would no longer take place.
* The deaths from contaminated drugs, like that laced with fentanyl and those that occur from the widely varying potency of back-room drug labs would stop, because the drugs would be consistent
and produced in controlled processes.
* The crime resulting from addiction would drop like a rock.
* The cost of pursuing the entire drug war and holding all the people imprisoned by it would also be drastically reduced- and that would provide the revenue to operate the entire approach this describes.

Now, if we could just get some politicians to consider this as an option, the "War on drugs" might be won.

 

Theres alot of reasons.

-the govt gets power by making us think it can protect us from ourselves

-a lot of people think its its their duty to enforce their morality on others with the authority and force of the govt

-theres big, untraceable money to be made in control of black market trade, and black ops love untraceable money

-corporations want monopoly's on products, and govt regulations is the easiest way to legally achieve monopoly

-the authority we delegate to the govt attracts control freaks. control freaks dont need an excuse to legislate restrictions on anything. control is their reward.

It should be noted these reasons apply to guns and abortion as much as they apply to drugs. Its just different groups of people trying to restrict things/other people they dont like.

We need to stop letting the govt and corporations convince us to use them to try and control eachother. Everyone needs to stop trying to ban ****.

 

There will always be a substantial monetary lure selling to minors.. Growing up, I always had a far easier time acquiring controlled substances then alcohol, and when we wanted alcohol we simply "Tip'd" someone 21 and older to buy it for us..

Minors will simply be preyed on far more then they are already.. Some early studies are out concerning underage use of legal cannabis within states where legalization has been passed confirm this..

 

That will be the hard part as the tobacco and alcohol lobbies have a lot of bribery going on to maintain the status quo.

That is what is stopping many governments from doing the right thing, for all the benefits you seem to be well aware of.

Yes, and the rest of us have to try to end the ban on legalization so that we might start saving our children.

While other studies show a reduction in use as the forbidden fruit thing is no longer there.

Where all drugs are legal, studies show an overall reduction in the use of all drugs.

We would not want to end all drug use as experts have shown that risk takers are better adjusted than tea totalers and those who abstain from everything.

Well regardless of the fluctuation it's still an issue.. I would hope that "Being ok" with some studies that suggest legalization has created less abuse by minor that minors in any instance should be addressed..

With any drug, NEW developments rise when wide spread usage is allowed..

Cannabis and Canada’s children and youth

 

Alcohol or tobacco, each standing alone, do more damage to the health of Canadians than all the other social drugs combined, yet they are legal.

We are prohibiting the safer drugs while allowing the worst killing drugs to be legal.

That is insane.

So what you are essentially saying is, ONE MORE WONT HURT Now there is some solid logic there!
