America's War on Drugs

[Ocato]

Thanks!
I think a lot of people hear something and accept it as the truth without looking into it. Ignorance is one of the biggest problems in the US right now.

Taxed, you say. Meaning you think of allowing the production and sale of marijuana, and perhaps other drugs in the US for recreational use, to turn this willing poisoning of your people legal by the state, to "profit" from it.
I'm not really sure how well you profit from the existing taxt revenues, and how the people here tell me that the rich are not taxed enough.
I'm sure the big drug barons of today will turn into emperors of their own right in the future, if you actually want to legalize the production, sale and import of these drugs. And I'm certain with the vision of your free market economy, you will force other countries to legalize marijuana and other drugs in their respective countries, and declare war upon them if they don't.

As I said, legalization for personal use is fine, but the selling and and production of such things should be stricly prohibited, and those who still continue to violate international laws should be punished in the most severe means possible, including death.

Yes, I believe people should be able to buy marijuana and use it for personal reasons like they'd buy a beer or some cigarettes. I don't see how that becomes the willing poisoning of my people when tobacco and alcohol have been available for years.
I also fail to understand what you mean by violating international laws. I never said anything about importing either.

I get blazed all the time and nobody seems to notice it so odds are half the people around you are high. I recently caught my grandpas brother smoking pot and now we smoke together. What should be illegal is perscription drugs, how can you jail people for breaking a crime thats also a corporate business.

How nice, really. Grand-uncle and nephew smoke such things together. I'm sure it's a sign of how well your nation developes, eh?
I see this as a sign of depravity and destruction of family virtues. Family members are not ashamed of eachother anymore. Soon, the people on the streets will not be ashamed of eachother anymore, and the streets will turn into a pile of every depraved vice and lawlessness.
Way to go in destroying your society, friend.

What you say should be illegal is "prescription drugs". Well, obviously these drugs are sold via prescriptions, and are there to help the people. What is this marijuana that you so glorify? What makes it so much better that medicine, produced by pharmacists and approved by doctors, should be illegal and this plant you use to escape the world be legal instead?
Well, I think you people are demented, and should be put on serious prescription drugs.

The problem with man made prescription drugs is that they are beginning to be made for everything. Just because a doctor approved something doesn't make it completely safe either. Doctors in America seem to prescribe something for everything, even a common cold or "restless leg syndrome."
