See: How people act when there is a barrier of internet between them and whomever they should be communicating with. People pretty much do and say what they want over the internet. Some abuse this, we call them trolls. Some destroy the liberty of others. We call that censorship. This applies to pretty much anything, because anytime you get a mass group of people, there's always some douchenozzle ready to fuck it up for everybody. Will more government control stop this? No.
The State is there for you. We must all work for the State too accomplish ourselves. By working for the State I mean turning yourself too your society and too your sisters and brothers.
This is the type of propoganda they feed you to make you think that the "war on drugs" is accomplishing anything at all, other than filling prison space, and lining the pockets of the few with the tax dollars of the many.
Did I say it was accomplishing anything? Did I mention in any way our government was good? I think not. ''Our'' government has not only a bad leader, but a bad organization. By that I do not imply the previous leaders were better. Secondly, I do not trust anything the government says, I analyze the information. By doing that, I came too the conclusion that drugs should be regulated by the State too prevent abuse from being done. That is my opinion, I respect yours.
See: Prohibition. The "state" took control over allowing people to have alcohol. They said we can't have it. This looked like a lucrative business opportunity for organizations like the Mafia. Speakeasys were everywhere, meaning people didn't give a damn what the law said, they wanted their booze. After trying it this way for just over a decade, the 21st amendment came along, repealed the 18th amendment, and let us have our booze back. Yes, this is the readers digest version of the story of prohibition, but the point I'm trying to make here is that the "solution" really is NOT effective at all.
I agree with you about the alcohol prohibition. How can I not, this is history. However. you seem to misunderstand my solution. My solution is not too ban the drugs and render them ''illegal''. My solution is too give to the State the power to regulate it. This way we can prevent not only the crimes that some people did too get that product, but also the abuse that other people did of the drugs. In the age of enlightenment, one philosopher said this: one persons freedom ends where another persons freedom begins. I think that this applies to yourself as well; when you start committing abuse or doing bad acts toward yourself, you are attacking your own liberty. For example, suicide destroys your own freedom, therefore you cannot possibly do this in the name of your God-given liberty. It's the same for abusing drugs.
