Do you support Trump’s war on drugs

[Woodznutz]

it doesn't work that way - at least not in the constitution.

It's probably unconstitutional to even fight the drug war if the "liberty and happiness" that Americans are entitled to includes drugs.

And Guns ( including Military Style ones ???

 

[Woodznutz]

It is a well established fact. Americans learned it a century ago with the Volstead Act and alcohol. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. We are repeating the mistakes of a century ago, and the demagog Trumpanyahu is leading the weak-minded like the Pied Piper. We have the government we deserve.

Prohibition put an end to widespread public drunkenness; that's a good thing. If you're going to get hammered don't make a public spectacle of yourself.

We're not fighting it. We're milking it for all its worth.

Such nonsense.

Such nonsense.

Widespread public drunkenness was a main driver of the temperance movement.

That's really hilarious! Do you do standup comedy?

As long as there are users, there will be suppliers

Then enforce laws about public drunkenness

 

[Woodznutz]

As long as there are users, there will be suppliers

That's why we need to deal first with the users.

 

[Woodznutz]

Then enforce laws about public drunkenness

We do.

 

[rightwinger]

We do.

So no need for prohibition
Cheaper to round up drunks

A real War on Drugs ( Not coddling Users )

A real War on Drugs ( Not coddling Users )

True. They're not victims, they are participants who enable the entire drug trade.

And religious dogma and sophistry. Religious zealots were a big factor in the passage of The Harrison Narcotic Act in 1914.

Organized religion is the bane of civilized society. Dogma and superstition, intolerance and hatred of others, just like Israel since 1948

Organized religion is why western civilization is 'civilized'. But as western society becomes more secular civilization is breaking down.
