That would lead to a massive # of insane drug addictions and crazy people roaming the streets with impunity. Only a crazy person would suggest that. The solution is to stop it at the source, the CCP and cartels. Then all people involved in making or running drugs should receive death sentences. Then all government officials who are facilitating the drug smugglers would be killed publicly and slowly.
The US has spent >$1 trillion, arrested and imprisoned hundreds of thousands, and ruined the lives of millions by fighting the War on Drugs. And has failed to make even a dent in the fliw of deugs, addiction rstes, overdose rates, etc. Only a moron would suggest intensifying the WOD.
Yes, but the people who were engaged in the WOD were probably taking kickbacks so they weren’t trying to be effective. It’s not that it can’t be done, it’s just that you have to mean it to get it done.
This falls into the category of saying anything, no matter how dumb, to salvage a losing position. If they were taking bribes, which many surely were (and are) it is because the drug war ensures an endless supply of bribe money and a mountain of corruption. You should stop making uneducated assertions based on drug warrior talking points.
That’s still no reason to make dangerous mind altering substances readily available to an emotionally and mentally immature populace with poor impulse control. The cost to society of allowing people to develop addictions is too great, especially if it’s going to then financial support them and prolong their (wasted) lives with medical interventions.
Thank goodness for libertarians, the only people talking sense.
I agree.drug prohibition law is a crime and corruption producer.
You're right, of course. But millions of Americans are as blind as Lily33. The deep problem with democracy is that numbers determine policy.
Maybe Trump felt the need to look tough on hard drugs while rescheduling cannabis.
