A lot of them which were supported and implemented by hillary's "husband."
But yes, if someone is sentenced to thirty years for using/possessing (or even petty possession with intent to distribute) then those sentences are counter productive.
Assuming you actually pay taxes. I'd guess you just like to bitch about how other people's tax money is spent.
Prohibition has worked so well that it's completely destabilized tons of neighboring countries (in ways that affect us), sent tons of people to jail needlessly (and ruined lives), exacerbated wealth/social disparities in the US (for both white people, whom I hate, and black people) and ended up producing a fuck-tonne of government/police overreach, bloat and corruption with for profit prisons, civil forfeiture, militarized police forces with fuckwad overreaching cops/huge government contracts to give out and STILL has not managed to make a dent in demand for drugs.
Other than that, the war on drugs has been a huge success!
Same as it ever was. I fought in the opium wars
It's a health issue, not a crime issue. The crime derives from the prohibition, not the product itself.
Just ask Portugal.
Sarcasam aside, I'm intrigued. Definitely can't argue that the current system has worked.
To my down voters I was pointing out why drugs are illegal, not agreeing. Some of you need to learn the difference.
It's always about the money
Illegal drugs fuel drug cartels and street gangs, 2 big sources of crime in America (and Mexico, which spills across the border). Even terrorist orgs sell drugs. And the US is the #1 customer world wide.
People talk about taking out the oil fields ISIS uses to fund their regime. We should do the same in the "war" on drugs. But instead of cutting off their revenue source, we are going after the users and low level dealers, which would be like blowing up gas stations and cars using oil already sold by ISIS.
Drugs sell themselves. A fucking vending machine would be a more effective heroin sales device than any currently functioning heroin dealer.
Not only is the war on drugs stupid: if I want to do heroin, get fat, play video games, fuck prostitutes or study for exams, who gives a flying fuck?
It destabilizes our own country: org crime wasn't shit until alcohol prohibition.
Either we have to have draconian/Singaporean measures against drugs (everyone caught with them summarily executed) or we need to just fucking legalize it and allow anyone who has a problem to go to a doctor for help.
The 'war on drugs' is FS beyond belief. And @TurdBuffer lives up to his name... trade corporate overlords for drug cartels... uh, yeah, you dipshit. I prefer to live in societies where those who control them have an incentive to create peace and order, rather than chaos and destruction, but that's just me (and everyone else).
The only argument for the war on drugs is that 'drugs is bad' - because every other piece of fucking evidence is that it is a total fucking nightmare that has given the stupidest pieces of shit on the planet (police officers) military weapons to fight against the most desperate fuckers on the planet (drug addicts). What could go wrong?
