The [Failed] War on Drugs
I read things like this and it pisses me off. That is the kind of thing America’s “War on Drugs” brings.
We stop next to nothing in terms of use. We export Billions of dollars a year, tax free and illegally, to ruthless cartels and kingpins. They have destroyed the legitimate economies of their countries to the point where it isn’t profitable to do anything except participate in the drug trade.
Our quest for moral high ground has led to the deaths of thousands upon thousands of citizens elsewhere, not to mention the ridiculous drug wars that happen on our own soil every day.
How much longer are we going to try this ridiculous stunt?
Legalize drugs. Regulate them. Tax them. Take the power away from the kingpins. Stop exporting huge swaths of our economy. You really think that legalizing them would have a dramatic impact on our society? On our children? How blind are you to what is happening both here and around the world?
