All they wanted was a little fun
Those bootleggers of old.
So what, if they carried a gun
And got a little bold.
Eventually they won their war
And liquor was legalized.
Then thugs like Al Capone and more
Were practically canonized!

Now after fifty years or more
Another war’s declared.
The procedure’s repeated just as before
But this time no one’s spared.
Their determination to win this time is a flaw
Of the human condition.
But all it proves to those in awe
Is: WE LEARNED NOTHING FROM PROHIBITION!

None the less the bribery goes on. Think of it as insurance.

“The Latin American drug cartels have stretched their tentacles much deeper into our lives than most people believe. It’s possible they are calling the shots at all levels of government.” – William Colby, former CIA Director, 1995

Some people don’t understand the difference between crime and vice and why you need to fight crime and deal with vice one on one.

Some questions occur;

1) Would professional growing be all that widespread?

2) Would taxation actually net much?

3) Would the ‘drug cartels’ that are currently supposed (according to the Drug War narrative) the main suppliers of the black market take a significant hit on income?

Anybody have any ideas?

But just speaking of drugs; trillions of dollars have been looted over the past 40 years, trillions of dollars redistributed over the past 40 years, millions of people incarcerated for little cost other than redistributing some stolen loot to people who work for us, and those in prison and on parole forming an important slave labor tasked to do menial labor, incredible amounts of property have been stolen either for our direct use or to sell to our cronies for incredible profits, and a whole slew of law, regulations, procedures and paperwork to employ millions more in our service as well as keep the masses in line. Further our own drug sales have been made far more profitable than anyone could have ever imagined. And besides people who work for us, there are other useful tools who terrorize the masses that have proven useful in eliminating anyone whom would question this enterprise. Overall, I personally would consider this drug war to be the most profitable and useful feature any government has ever conceived.

Hope you recover form this delusion soon, and anytime you would like to come back to useful employment you know who to call.

Sincerely,

“Why not?”
“Wars end. ”
-Carver to Hauck, “The Wire”, episode 1

“but what there were also charges of murder, assault, theft etc. along with the drug charges?” same thing. anything illegal drug-related i’ll treat like the courts treat a bad search. all evidence is tainted.

BTW, i feel the same way about anyone who steals from the government – just spreading the wealth.

This is a permanent pro-drug-war lobby that is not ever going away. I disagree with them. I think that they are harming our society. But I cannot blame them, and I think that somebody who could must be a sonofabitch. If we want to end the stupidities of the War on Drugs, we need to do something that will allow these people at least some of the catharsis and closure that backing the War on Drugs brought them.

It seems logical that they would, perhaps through a cutout or two.

This is the problem: It’s not the good fight. It’s the morally wicked fight.
