The "War on Drugs" isn't really a war on drugs...

It's a "War on Drugs Not Made By Merck, Pfizer, BMS or Any Other Major Pharmaceutical Company With A Billion Dollar Lobbying Budget."

Here, here. The war on drugs is the biggest failure in the history of organized government. Ending the war on drugs would save easily hundreds of billions of dollars a year. In the US alone every student could have free university and free healthcare for every person just by ending this ridiculas "war".

The war on drugs is to eliminate the competition.

OK, I feel the need to clarify.

I think that marijuana is harmless and the "War" against pot should be flushed.

However, the war on heroin, cocaine, crack, and other life-destroying drugs should continue.

I have often wrestled with how we should deal with hard drugs but again I am a results orientated guy and 20 plus years of war on these hard drugs has not only accomplished nothing compared to twenty years ago hard drugs are more potent, cheaper and easier to get than ever. I am willing to support any idea that will work and its clear that the "War on Drugs" has not nor will it ever.

This sounds pretty amazing.

Just think of the implications if this were widely known: authorities on the one hand covertly helping in global "DRUG" trafficking, while on the flip-side demanding larger annual public budgets, stiffer penalties, & through their investment portfolios privately "capitalizing" on having people locked away for the rest of their lives.

This would mean they're *wink wink / nudge nudge * playing both sides. Problem, reaction, solution.

Hmmmmmmm ... could it really be?

I've been thinking with all the money the US has spent on both the War on Drugs and the War on Terror, which is in the TRILLIONS, wouldn't it make some sense for the government to just buy the opium from the Afghani farmers. I know this sounds whacky but its better than trying to convince poor afghanis to trade money making crops for money losing crops. Good idea or crazy idea?

First word: prohibition

Second word: failure

Term: altered state

Second term: black market

Third word: moderation

Fourth word/third term: taxes

Fifth word/first condition: desperate

Sixth word: survival

Fourth term: unequal distribution

Add one through nine and you get: The War on Drugs is stupid, impossible, wasteful, pointless.....

There are countries in the world where using drugs, having drugs, transporting drugs, selling drugs will get you killed, maimed or jailed so long your life is over... yet, the drug culture still exists.

This is Dumbya. This is your world on Dumbya. Any questions?

http://www.thedossier.ukonline.co.uk/video_drugsmoney.htm

Part four of a series that looks at the rise of business and the decline of political power. Adam Curtis reveals massive corruption of the British government by corporations and the global markets stream.

BBC Panorama - Britain's Heroin Fix

Jane Corbin travels through Afghanistan to find out why opium production is out of control. She talks to farmers to discover why the opium crop has risen twenty-fold since the Taleban cracked down on it virtually eradicating it in 2001. The smugglers get off scot-free and powerful offficials within the government take their cut of the drug trade.

DynCorp couldn't possibly be involved, could they?

"Crack-cocaine delivers an intensity of pleasure completely outside the normal range of human experience. It offers the most wonderful state of consciousness, and the most intense sense of being alive, the user will ever enjoy. (S)he will access heightened states of being whose modes are unknown to chemically-naive contemporaries. Groping for adequate words, crack-takers sometimes speak of the rush in terms of a "whole-body orgasm"."

Did you know it used to be sold over the counter at Harrods, and Shakespeare took it? Smile
