Let's legalize meth, and every other such recreational drug.

14. I totally, 100% agree with you.

Of course, it's not gonna happen.
Because it's rational. We are not a rational society.
And because there are VERY powerful forces that make shit-tons of money from these drugs being illegal. And I'm NOT talking about the cartels, or the dealers or the smugglers or the growers.
I'm talking about this sentence of yours:

"All the time while enriching the national security and prison industries needlessly." As well as the banksters who launder all that money. The people behind those industries are not going to let YOU fuck up their gravy train.

Of course, you don't help your argument with this:

..."under today's drug prohibition, far too many people are dying from drugs they cooked up for themselves, the modern equivalent of bathtub gin. Safe, legalized pharmaceutical grade drugs would go a long way to alleviate the suffering, and health problems, of drug users."

Those same banksters and national security and prison industry types WANT those kind of drug addicty people to die off. They're always going to be replaced by the next batch of drug addicty people, as long as the world sucks, there will always be more drug addicts and the gravy train keeps rolling on. Fuck you and your "we would be better off as a country" shit, THERE'S MONEY TO BE MADE!!!

Time to go roll a spliff...
