(((They))) profit from smuggling the drugs to the us.

War on Drugs just an illusion. Can't fight yourself.

They really should end it. I think they are in the process of ending it in a way, by simply changing the name from "war on drugs" to "war on terrorism" which is kind of the same thing. Like they change the name from a-queda to ISIS or whtever. The best marketing gimmick to date is the Nazi vs Communism scam. I think if they are able to institute the global warming scam, that would be the last one, cause if they can tax your water, food, air, they gotcha by the nut sack with needle nose pliers @ 1000psi.

Need to get rid of mandatory healthcare if you're going to legalize the harder stuff.

Deadbeats gonna bankrupt everyone by constantly ODing.

Assisted suicide should be added to the mix.

Everything I've seen, usage goes down after legalization/decriminalization. But we need to get rib of mandatory healthcare regardless.

Catherine Fitts has a great argument about this.

The War on Drugs props up the entire economy from big pharma to law enforcement to the Fortune 500 companies who have branches opened to launder drug money. Stopping the WoD would knock a huge percentage from everyone's 401k, so isn't likely to happen.

Legalize everything. Then wait the purge out. Let nature run it's course.

No. In fact, it ought to be escalated. No more slaps on the wrist. You will be hung, publicly. Only then, will folks think twice about using. We can win this war, if we actually fight it.

Only if we add coffee, subscription pills and alcohol to the list, after all they are drugs.

Too true!

auto_turret

You sure know how to put a false equivalency argument to work..

Chimaira92

It works in places like the Philippines because of how overrun by cartels they are. Mexico should take the same stance imo. Not in our civilised countries though where we can aim to make society worth living in so people don't resort to drug use to escape reality.

auto_turret

Well, seeing as everything else we've tried ended up being an utter failure, I think it's time to line our stomachs with iron and start hanging these low lifes.

Lawyers and politicians conveniently left out.

Without the war on drugs the police would actually have time to charge people for real crimes. They could never let that happen.
