RE: Possession is Never a Crime

in #freedom7 years ago (edited)

I support legalization of all drugs. If crack or heroin was made legal tomorrow I wouldn't do it. The reason I don't do them now is because I don't want to, they are available in minutes, quite easily. The war on drugs is a failure, kids smoke weed and its fun, take psychedelics and it's fun and then think society lied to them about all drugs so they try heroin. The war on some drugs has also targeted the poor and young people for enforcement while other groups have little to worry about. Everything about the drug war is bad, people dying in droves because black market opiates are contaminated by fentanyl. Way less people would be dying if it was opium or regulated quality opiods. I am sick of paying to lock people up for victimless crimes while the police never solve break ins or bike thefts because of lack of manpower. Every narc should be out fighting human trafficking instead, that is a crime with a victim. I really hate the war on drugs, prohibitionists are always either profiting from it or just really stupid.

Agreed!

I typed one big paragraph i was mad on the phone, the drug war makes me mad! So much money, we can't have free university but we can afford to spend the money locking up people for drugs. The whole war on drugs is just a big black hole for your tax dollars. It never ends, who wants to fight a war with no winner? Ever? It's just so insane that it is still going, getting worse even. I didn't even mention in my post how the drug war ending would pretty much end gang violence. Drug related shootings would literally end, or happen about as often as moonshine dealers shooting each other.
