The War On Drugs

[Independentthinker]

Most of those who are in favor of decriminalizing drugs claim that that would stop a lot of crime and illegal drug trading because it wouldn't be illegal anymore. According to this story out of California about weed, that hasn't worked so I find it unlikely that it would work if we decriminalized all drugs. Who wooda ever thunk that criminals could produce drugs cheaper than the government or private business?

California voters legalized cannabis last decade. So why is the illegal market more successful than ever?

It would take act of God not the government to win the war on drugs.

Its as if government by heavily taxing weed, wants a black market to thrive.

I don't think you are getting it. If other drugs are legalized the results would be the same as when the cannabis drug was legalized.

How's it working in Oregon? Of course it is possible to win a war on drugs. You fight a war. Drug sellers aren't released. They are executed. Drug users aren't released. They are put into forcible programs. Drug overdoses are decimating our military.

Take on the cartels. They are armies. Bomb their warehouses. Collapse their tunnels. Recognize that this war is a genocidal war waged largely by China designed to kill as many as possible. 300 a day, a 9-11 every ten days.

Which is one reason why crime rates are soaring, even when talking about marijuana. A lot of bad people were locked up on Marijuana charges and now we're letting them roam around free. Now, if we could filter out just small time everyday American users who use marijuana like drinking alcohol, that's one thing and I'm all for it. But, if we need to keep bad dudes locked up, even those who repeatedly commit small crimes to get money for their habit, then we should be able to lock them up for marijuana use if we don't have enough evidence on them for their other crimes. Having a bunch of druggies running around free will just make crime rates soar even higher. People commit crimes to pay for their drug habits. This is totally unacceptable.

so its because they arent prosecuting the crime people comitt while under the influence,, that has nothing to do with the drug itself,,,

That's not what I claim. I claim we don't need government telling us what to eat, drink or otherwise ingest. MYOB.

Who wooda ever thunk that criminals could produce drugs cheaper than the government or private business?

Anyone who sees the regulation they pile on when they "legalize" it.

No they don't. Decriminalizing use stops the incarceration of users it does not legalize the drug trade at all. It should be legal. We need a system where consenting adults can have reasonable access to safe recreational substances as long as the understand that they are responsible for their actions regardless if they are under the influence or not. It will never happen Ino.

That does seem to be vector of politics lately.

China is using Mexican cartels to kill 300 people a day. A 9-11 every ten days. Maybe the Netherlands doesn't have a China waging war on them with drugs coming in by the Ton.

Those cities that have legalized or decriminalized drugs have not seen a benefit.
