What purpose is served in criminalizing drug use?

[green for victory]

39. only some drug use is criminalized

usually the natural substances.

That protects patentholders and pharma, who sell drugs by the containerload to other countries, sometimes after bribing the officials of those countries. Some really hardcore "drugs" are advertised on tv and prescribed to children. Soldiers are routinely pumped full of really dangerous "drugs"all the time (used to be prohibited).

Some people wonder why this is, even after hearing (or not) that there is a revolving door between the FDA and Washington, District of Criminals.

It isn't all that complicated, really. You can't patent a plant (yet- see MONSANTO, who has operatives deeply ensconced in the bowels of government.)

Nothing will change until the people demand it. No "leader" is going to ride out of the sky on a white horse and save the people.

And for those that say the Drug War was and is a failure, ask yourself how you could manage to turn a nations citizens on themselves, get them to give up their right to self treatment, shred the Bill of Rights, and enrich the biggest drug makers on the planet all at the same time, while confiscating billions of dollars to pay for it all.

The "Drug War" has been one of the most successful big government programs ever unleashed on a population.
