WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING FOR IN AFGHANISTAN The Taliban had all but eradicated the opium growers before the US invasion. So why is cheap Afghani heroin flooding into the United States? www.thebostonchannel.com/cnn-news/21068822/detail.html whatreallyhappened.com/IM...608_opium_marines_800.JPG

Legalizing it is the only answer. The only reason they farm and sell it is because of the money it brings. Take out the outrageous profits by making it legal and it will disappear. And just because it's legal doesn't mean people will use it. The illegal status of drugs does not stop people from using it. You'd think people would have learned from alcohol prohibition. But nooooo! They didn't learn a damn thing. And now we are enabling it. We are fighting for the drug dealers instead of against them. That is only because our government has a vested interest in the drug trade. They created the problem and they provided a phony solution, and they did it all for the money.

CIA budget.
And now we are enabling it. We are fighting for the drug dealers instead of against them. That is only because our government has a vested interest in the drug trade. They created the problem and they provided a phony solution, and they did it all for the money. And it is largely the same stupid fundies who allow themselves to be led around by the nose and played like a violin. Drugs are illegal because it makes them more profitable and it is easier to shut down any competition that might come up. Elembents of the U.S. Government, such as the Cocaine Importation Agency, constitute the largest and most powerful Drug Cartel on the planet. Afghanistan was not about "terrorism" is was about control of the Heroin Market and secondarily the oil pipeline. The Taliban's major "sin" was shutting down the growth of Opium Poppies and thus the flow of raw materials needed to sustain the Heroin Trade. Over, and over, and over, again the U.S. Government, particularly the CIA, has been implicated in running the drug trade, and the child sex slavery trade, in the U.S. and likely elsewhere.
How about criminalizing the so-called drug warriors, DEA, CIA and other assorted criminals, theives and murderers associated with the so-called war on a list of non-approved substances(aka:drugs)?
I think you're right about legalizing these drugs but I'd add an intensive "education" campaign of potential consequences of use/misuse. The irony is that every time police make a big drug bust the community is a little less safe because price goes up as supply goes down, so a druggy needing more cash commits more crime. Stupid Feds in Canada are going to the Supreme Court to close down a "safe" drug supply clinic for addicts in BC instead of conducting research into ways to get people off drugs and developing intensive education programs to preclude people from being hooked.
