Question: What examples from the past are good common sense to fight the “war on drugs”?
On the lighter side, I’d say keeping drugs out of the hands of the Dallas Police Dept.
While making room to create a more efficient evidence storage room, they shipped off old cabinets to be sold at a office supply outlet. One cabinet happened to contain 128 sealed packages of seized drugs ranging from marijuana, heroine, methamphetamine, and cocaine. — Can we all say, “Oops! My bad.”

On a serious note, I think raising our children in an atmosphere of compassion, understanding & clear parental guidance would curb a lot of the desire for child to want to alter their reality B4 they even know what reality is.
Secondly, they should be supplied with factual information about drugs., i.e. “Yes, they can make you feel good, but while staying in that ‘feel good’ place, you will never learn how to handle the hard problems in life that don’t feel good. But you need to learn these skills to get past your problems so that the problem is GONE and not waiting to kick you in the butt again b/c you never learned how to cope with real life in the1st place.”

What are other ideas? Either on the home front or in society?
Singapore death penalty sounds a bit harsh. Especially if a person just bought a new filing cabinet on sale without first looking through all of the drawers. – LOL

Pfo: I knew I could count on you as our acting Government Apologist. Which government agency do you work for, anyway? Don’t tell me it’s the FDA.

Answer by Pfo
I think it’s bogus. They assume that ending the war on drugs will also automatically end all the bad things associated with drug use. It seems too convenient to their cause and unrealistic.

Question: Is the “War on Drugs” a good thing or just the biggest waste of money?
Would’nt the best thing to do be to legalize drugs, tax the hell out of it, make it 21 and older to purchase.

Alcohol prohibition didn’t work and neither is the war on drugs.

What are your thoughts?

-It assumes that Americans need laws that tell them what they can and can’t inject into their bodies…if certain drugs are deadly, then let them die…they already know the risk…

-It creates blackmarkets and druglords and crime having drugs illegal.
-Drugtesting is a form of self-incrimination violation of the 5th
