Take the business away from the importers and dealers . Undercut them. Drive them out of business. Provide safe (? not cut , or infected ) drugs or equipment .
Define drugs clinically ( alchohol for example is a class B substance ). This should place agencies in a position to help addicts with kicking the habit , getting councilling etc. It will provide its own funding . It will bring the situation under much better control.
It is a better scheme that the existing scheme.
Marijuana is seen as less harmful than a drug like cocaine I guess. It’s harder to argue for? the legalization of a drug like that than it is for pot.
why does it seem whenever the “war on drugs” is brought up, all i ever hear is the war on marijuana?..like marijuana legalization? is the only singular issue?
God gives? grace to forgive & give us the time for us to find our way towards a positive change in our lives. Man casts a black cloud over even the suspicion of a person involved in drugs. Most God fearing people fall right into this trap; offering no real help, just judgement and condemnation. Think of the programs that could be put in place geared to help people with drug problems with the full local & federal budget of law enforcement.
Decriminalization is the answer, not legalization.?
Duh, that’s what I said.?
I’m with you they will all be gone? soon!
There is? already a BLACK MARKET That is the problem!
We have a problem alright, It’s that the War On Drugs turned our country into a Prison Industry ! We make cars and prisoners in The United States of America. Also the price? of weed has gone up therefore it must not be a drug?
Smoke weed everyday?
All very dangerous and all very? legal!
MY THEORY is , that , the old guard has to DIE OFF ,? for us to see real change.
the BRIANWASHING has stained many minds.. & it won’t DRY CLEAN out of our conscience.
COMMON SENSE will win the day
CDC? reports 80,000 deaths per year from alcohol. Your right – VERY DANGEROUS. It’s poison.
Making drugs illegal simply creates a very lucrative black market.? Making it legal, takes away the high profitability and removes the funding for narco criminals. Trouble is the narco criminals are in bed with our government, so there will be no change.
Since corporations are people if you abuse the 14th Amendment and consider money to be equivalent to free speech, we could start by arresting BP for the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico. Then arrest Halliburton and whoever keeps putting out those Kidz? Bop CDs.
Tobacco isn’t cheaper? What about caffeine and over-the-counter drugs. Just? curious.
All authority is illegitimate unless you can prove it’s legitimate. Drug use simply is not a good reason for incarcerating people. Many people make a nice living by playing some part in this brain-dead “war on drugs” that ruins people’s lives. I would rather have all those people get paid to do nothing, rather than get paid to be at war with their? fellow human beings.
If you read the phone conversation you might know who the puppets are and where the money “tax money” comes from. I liked the part about the girl we know who she was. I will not use facebook it’s stupid. I’m not tweeting my twitter. Some people can’t live? with out that junk.
i would say just being on this page negates the majority from qualifying as puppets or sticking thier heads in the sand etc. go to a romney or obama site on? facebook for that lol
Poppy production in Afghanistan is up 90% since the un invaded, that makes sense to me. Thank you geminimc69. If everyone in America is a drug head then it’s easer for the One World Order and their army “NATO” to take over America. Yes its all about control. How far have they infiltrated Canada or Mexico. Puppets Google the? phone conversation between Robert Steiner “APAIC President” and Haim (Harry) Katz it’s juicey
“We are currently choosing the marketplace to be run by gangsters, thugs, and terrorists” I think he meant the government, but he cannot say it? openly or he will “swim with the fishes”
Poppy production in Afghanistan is up 90% since the UN invaded that country!
WAKE UP WORLD!
Thank YOU Leigh? and Peter
