Smoking good dope is nothing but proof of free-market demand, and because of our federal policy of criminalizing this natural substance, THEY are the ones supporting the cartels, not the users.
If our federal government didn't have some bizarre war and hypocrisy against marijuana, the cartels would be powerless, or less so. We still have a cocaine issue, which is a bit of a tougher issue than the legalization of harmless weed.
I joined the Air Force in 1990. I worked in Japan in '91, and a few years after. I joined to serve my country. I was ready to go to war. I wasn't looking forward to it, but I was ready if I was called.
So, I'm talking to this guy about people dying in the war and he's like, "Well, at least we're not killing them." and I said, "Sure we are." and he's like, "No, we're sitting here." and I'm like "Yep, sitting here making sure these communications lines stay up, so the orders to the ships and the jets make it through, so the jets will know where to fly and where to bomb, and so they can kill some people. Without us, it wouldn't be possible." And he's like, "I never thought of it like that."
Same guy. Hated gays. I told him, "I wish more people were gay. I wish 99 percent of all men were gay." And he's like "Why, are you gay or sumptin'?" and I'm like , "Nope. If 99 percent of all men were gay, that would mean ugly mother******s like me would have a chance at some really hot chicks." It took him a minute, but he got the point.
This war on drugs. It's not a war.
It's a joke. It's a travesty. It's a failed social experiment. People have been getting high in multitudes of ways for 1000's of years. I would call that pretty much ingrained behaviour
What this charade does do, though, is it does make it possible for some very bad people to have a lot of money. These people will eventually run out of people to kill and terrorize. Then, they will start looking at us. In some states, they already have. I wish America would just starve the beast by making this junk legal. All of it. Legalize everything. Let families, pastors, community centers and the police handle people who can't handle themselves. The U.S. would not implode. It would actually be stronger.
Would some people go overboard? And possibly die. Sure.
Would some not? Sure.
Drugs are here now. This problem in a Cancun bar. It's all connected. By buying Mexican drugs we make it possible for these calculating monsters to be able to kill and hurt even more people. By incarcerating our citizens and giving them a criminal record for life for a few moments of pleasure, we create our own sub-class of servants for our society. "Hey! Thought you'd get a job doing something cool? Nope! You've got a drug record! You'll be digging ditches or washing cars for the REST OF YOUR LIFE." By having so much drug money available to "fight the war", you're also incentivizing your police force and judicial system to put and have as many people in the system as possible. What the hell kind of society does this?
We're becoming a nation of criminals - or as in the case of red light cameras - the government NEEDS people to break the law so the government can get PAID, ostensibly to take better care of it's PEOPLE.
I can see it. Why can't the government see it? Why can't every one see it?
Why?
I haven't smoked weed in years but, good weed is grown in California...Humboldt and Mendocino counties.
UR ALL WRONG KIDS.....good dope doesn't come from MEXICO. When I used to smoke the "BOMBDIGETY" I was fully aware that I was supporting those socialist pigs up in British Columbia LMAO
Perhaps in the wildest tangential manner it might, but that is hardly analogous to the purchases of illegal drugs which flow through drug producing and trafficing networks.
By purchasing illegal drugs, despite one's self interest in denying culpability, you are without a shadow of doubt indirectly fueling the drug trade and the violence that results.
I agree.
That's something that I think people conveniently "overlook" - specifically with regard to "hard" drugs such as cocaine. Why anyone would want to ingest something that may well have been smuggled into the country up someone's butt or in their stomach is beyond me. Of course that's the very least of it - the bloodshed and violence that accompanies the product from source to consumer is the worst - and truly horrendous - aspect of it.
Tied up, beaten, burned and stabbed. Then tossed by the roadside. So, so sad.
