WAR ON DRUGS BEGAN AT THE BORDER.

If there were no drugs crossing the border, they would not get on the streets and to drug dealers and users. The war on drugs has failed for the same reason the war on illegal immigration has failed. We have failed to secure the border. Legalizing marijuana will not put a dent on the war on drugs because there are other drugs that are crossing and most addictions are to those drugs. Marijuana is jut a fraction of the drugs crossing the border and of use. I am aware of cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and illegal prescription drugs but there are probably others. These drugs that will make it worth drugs cartels getting them on our street and to users.

Are there any village idiots out there that believe if we make marijuana more available that people will stop using other drugs?

If drug cartels cannot get their drug across the border they will leave the border and they would solve Mexico’s war on drugs.

We got Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan but we cannot keep drugs and drugs cartel out of this country?

THERE IS NO WAR ON DRUGS...

The Kids Are Alright!!!​

"As states increasingly adopt laws allowing medical marijuana, fewer teens see occasional marijuana use as harmful, the largest national survey of youth drug use has found.

Nearly 80% of high school seniors don't consider occasional marijuana use harmful - the highest rate since 1983 - and one in 15 smoke nearly every day, according to the annual survey of eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders made public Wednesday."

...THE GATE TO VACATION NIRVANA!!!!​

"Forgive the Mexicans for trying to get this straight:

So now the United States, which has spent decades battling Mexican marijuana, is on a legalization bender?

The same United States that long viewed cannabis as a menace, funding crop-poisoning programs, tearing up auto bodies at the border, and deploying sniffer dogs, fiber-optic scopes and backscatter X-ray machines to detect the lowly weed?

The success of legalization initiatives in Colorado and Washington in November has sparked a new conversation in a nation that is one of the world's top marijuana growers: Should Mexico, which has suffered mightily in its war against the deadly drug cartels, follow the Western states' lead?

Mexico's new president, Enrique Peña Nieto, opposes legalization, but he also told CNN recently that the news from Washington and Colorado "could bring us to rethinking the strategy."

Such rethinking has already begun!!!"

Not true. In fact absurd.

The only war on drugs that is winnable and worth fighting is the war in the heart and mind of the user.

The War on Drugs cannot be won as long as such a substantial percentage of the population wants to spend their lives in a drug haze. That's where it starts. The war on drugs would be unnecessary if users were forced to experience the consequences of their behavior. At the very least, their miserable lives would be an example to others as to where drug taking leads.

Mexico Lawmaker; Legalize Marijuana​

"A leftist Mexican lawmaker on Thursday presented a bill to legalize the production, sale and use of marijuana, adding to a growing chorus of Latin American politicians who are rejecting the prohibitionist policies of the United States.

The bill is unlikely to win much support in Congress since a strong majority of Mexicans are firmly against legalizing drugs, but may spur a broader debate in Mexico after two U.S. states voted to allow recreational use of marijuana last week. U.S. officials have said it remains illegal and that they are reviewing the state actions.

The split between local and federal governments in the United States is feeding a growing challenge in Latin America to the four-decade-old policies that Washington promoted, and often bankrolled, to disrupt illegal drug cultivation and smuggling.

"The prohibitionist paradigm is a complete failure," said Fernando Belaunzaran, the author of the bill from the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), who presented the proposal in Mexico's lower house of Congress."

Complete mis-perception. Responsible use does not include living life in a drugged out stupor any more than drinking a beer or two after a long hard day means everyone wants to be drunk all day. But some people choose to mis-percieve the situation.

I'll try to use littler words. Without people wanting to get high, there would be no customers buying drugs. Do you get that part?

If users were forced to experience the consequences of getting high, even if they couldn't be stopped, others would see what they were going through the decide getting high isn't worth it. No welfare, no disability, no medical care for overdoses, no food at the local soup kitchen, no job, can't see their kids, complete immunity for someone who has to kill another who is high on drugs and commits a crime. No diminished capacity defense. No sympathy. Under those circumstances, George Zimmerman would be totally immune from all prosecution because Trayvon Martin had THC in his system.

There is no responsible taking of drugs. They use drugs to get high. No other reason.

Nobel Prize Genius; High On LSD​

"FRANCIS CRICK, the Nobel Prize-winning father of modern genetics, was under the influence of LSD when he first deduced the double-helix structure of DNA nearly 50 years ago.

The abrasive and unorthodox Crick and his brilliant American co-researcher James Watson famously celebrated their eureka moment in March 1953 by running from the now legendary Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge to the nearby Eagle pub, where they announced over pints of bitter that they had discovered the secret of life.

Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not the Eagle's warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

Despite his Establishment image, Crick was a devotee of novelist Aldous Huxley, whose accounts of his experiments with LSD and another hallucinogen, mescaline, in the short stories The Doors Of Perception and Heaven And Hell became cult texts for the hippies of the Sixties and Seventies. In the late Sixties, Crick was a founder member of Soma, a legalise-cannabis group named after the drug in Huxley's novel Brave New World. He even put his name to a famous letter to The Times in 1967 calling for a reform in the drugs laws."

[jgarden]

The "War on Drugs" is a political war attempting to sustain the illusion that it can be won. Legalize all drugs, the prices drop, the cartels lose their profits and the government can be invest in rehabilitation.
