QuoteQuoteYou're probably right. As was mentioned earlier, as long as there is a demand... there will be production of dope. It's fast, big money and a good way to support a cause. I don't think, the terrorism is appreciated by anyone but, it's been going on for centuries just as the demand for dope has been going on for centuries. What do we do? Just sit back and enjoy it because, it's inevitible?
No!! Fix the problem we made in reaction to the drug epidemic of the early 19th century. Legalize "the illegal drugs". Make sure the public understands the effects that the drugs can have. Separate marijuana out of the equation or at least quite associating it with narcotics. Bad information on one drug can lead to people assuming that all the information is bad.
This will at least remove the criminal element. It will also Allow us to a revenue stream from the taxes. Also we can save billions of dollars not fighting a silly "war" that we've been getting our ass kicked in for 20+ years.
Prohibition didn't work and neither will the "drug war" all it does is create a vacum for criminal activity.
As far as funding "terrorists", well good luck trying to get any of the drug producing countries to make it legal. To many are making money hand over fist. As well as the power that the money provides them.
Why not! Like you said, 'prohibition' didn't work. Make that shit legal and even more accessable to youngsters. We could have stores selling all that shit like we have liquor stores or Baskin Robbins! Can you just imagine the traffic fatalaties? Not to mention all the shootings and stabbings and just the overall chaos? Because of all that whacked-out dope-heads! Noone can handle booze and noone can handle dope... they just 'think' they can. I know that from experience. Legalizing it would probably mean a drop in price.(bright side to the users)
What the government needs to do is really, honest to God crack-down on dope. Not this silly little, so-called 'War On Drugs'! What a joke! These little 'busts' we read and hear about aren't even scratching the surface. We need to get in there with the countries that produce it and don't want it and seriously help them get rid of it. Make the fines and penalties much stiffer for posession, selling and etc. Maybe, our government doesn't want to do that because they might lose out on some of the big bucks from it. I'll agree, booze is bad enough and weed, ain't much better. JMO.

Uh that is what we already have... and with the highest prison polpulation per capita on the planet. Most of the people in there are there because of drugs and alcohol in one way or another

Come to think of it... you're right! What I'm trying to say is, if, we are going to crack-down on drugs... do it! Just like everything else, this country's usual pussy-footing around things like this for fear they might not be 'politically correct' or 'we might step on someone's toes'. Because of prison over-crowding, more 'probation' is handed out. Whoop-dee-doo! Probation is like a 'free-pass' to keep on keepin' on.
