Hey Dudettes & Dude: Let's Talk Drugs

[placton]

For years (since the mid 1930's) there has been a (totally wasteful) War of Some Drugs. It's time to legalize ALL drugs. First, let's look at the most popular illegal stuff?

THE DREAD MARIJUANA:
-total deaths caused in human history? 0
-citizens that use regularly: about 20,000,000+
-biggest opponents of legalization? government agencies that make big bux from criminalization (cops, judges, parts of government) and the alcohoL lobby
-physically addictive? nope (anything is psychologically addictive)

COCAINE (sniffffff - powder)
-causes some deaths
-citizens that use regularly: about 5,000,000+ (about 50/50 whites and minorities)
-biggest opponents of legalization? government agencies that make big bux from criminalization (cops, judges, parts of government) big pharma, and the alcohol lobby
-physically addictive? nope (anything is psychologically addictive)

COCAINE (cooked up - "crack")
-causes some deaths
-citizens that use regularly: about 5,000,000+ (about 20/80 whites and minorities)
-biggest opponents of legalization? government agencies that make big bux from criminalization (cops, judges, parts of government) big pharma, and the alcohol lobby
-physically addictive? nope (anything is psychologically addictive)

HEROIN
-causes some deaths
-citizens that use regularly: about 5,000,000+ (about 20/80 whites and minorities)
-biggest opponents of legalization? government agencies that make big bux from criminalization (cops, judges, parts of government) big pharma, and the alcohol lobby
-physically addictive? yup, to some not all (otherwise no bad side effects - yup it's true)

SPEED (meth, amphetamines, etc)-causes some deaths
-citizens that use regularly: about 5,000,000+ (about 80/20 whites and minorities)
-biggest opponents of legalization? government agencies that make big bux from criminalization (cops, judges, parts of government) big pharma, and the alcohol lobby
-physically addictive? nope (anything is psychologically addictive)

PSYCHOTROPICS (LSD, mescaline, peyote, etc)
-causes some deaths
-citizens that use regularly: about 5,000,000+ (about 20/80 whites and minorities)

-physically addictive? nope (anything is psychologically addictive)

It is arguably easier for minors to obtain these now than to get cigarettes, thus showing intelligent legalization makes sense

Legalization would free cops to do real cop work, instead of playing undercover narcs: you know, stuff like fighting real crime, and terrorism too!

Legalization would free millions from jails and prison, and allow them to vote! Guess which party they would favor?

Legalization would bring billions into our empty coffers, in taxes.

Legalization would end the drug cartels (see: end of prohibition) and reduce violence dramatically.

The time has come for us to pressure the feds on this. Truth and morality are on our side.
