War On Drugs has now cost the US $1 Trillion

[QUOTE="SgtKevali"]

[QUOTE="centipede22"]Drug users (especially pot smokers) love to criticize and harass people who don't do drugs simply because they don't do drugs. They are also unsuccessful and irresponsible. They are the biggest plague on America. They need to all be jailed or executed so they'll never bother anyone ever again.centipede22

Hmm, that seems a bit extreme to say the least. Did you create this account just to say that? XD Cause I get the feeling you're not serious.

Certain ones yes, and what is your deal with stoners? Bad experience or something?

[QUOTE="centipede22"] What about you stoners? Are you all serious when you say that drugs should be legalized?SgtKevali

How did I not notice that? Man I should get to bed.

Wait a minute. I support legalization, but I don't use drugs. Am I hallucinating?

We must both be hallucinating because I smoke pot and I've been called a model employee.

I'm a dairy clerk at Publix Supermarkets, which oddly enough is one of the top companies in FORTUNE's list of "100 Best Companies to Work For". Nothing glamorous but hey, I'm a 21 year old college student so it's about the best I'm able to do right now.

[QUOTE="centipede22"]Wow, I can't believe there are so many stoners on this board. I'll bet everyone who doesn't do drugs is against legalization.pis3rch

Decriminalising possession or small-scale cultivation of weed while still targeting profiteers would be a concession that, on the grand scale of things, weed is a pretty inoccuous drug for most users while admitting there's a slippery slope in allowing the promotion and open sale of any and all substances that screw up a lot of people's lives.

[QUOTE="pis3rch"] You don't have to do drugs to support legalization. All it takes is a wee bit of logic and reasoning. Read some of MrGeezer's posts on the past couple of pages, he makes excellent points. centipede22

Yeah I think most of the world has awoken from this anti-drug propaganda. Im optimistic that things will change in a few years.


Still cant believe people are still being put in prison for non violent offenses, like smoking a bit of weed. Wow.

Go america! Highest incarceration rate in the world! We put our youth in prison.

I've got to admit, I don't really get what a tactical withdrawal the "war on drugs" is supposed to mean...

Is it the term you use to refer to the end to hundreds of millions of dollars a year of military spending on (unsuccessfully?) establishing control of South America and Afghanistan's drug trade?

Or is it the admission that it's more lucrative to tax a substance than ban it (well...duh), and that those short-term gains are totally worth the apparent U-turn on the last century of national and international policy?

Or maybe it's about admitting that fear of punishment has never been an effective deterrent and that seemingly advocating drug addiction is a palatable alternative to the state seeming to give a damn when funds are more profitably invested elsewhere.

Do you reckon the emotional and mental terms, I've seen normal people destroy themselves with weed.rockerbikie

And none of it has done any good. Odd how that works.
