The truth aboutDrugs

Drugs are cool, pure and simple! They are another way for us to escape the elements of humanity itself! Earlier in life, if it hadn't been for drugs, I would probably be in jail by now for killing some stupid bastard out there. All drugs should be leagalized. Period. Everyone of us over the age of 21 should have the personal choice to advance or ruin our own life as we see fit! Each of us has the choice of smoking and what may I ask is that? Is it not a drug? How about alcohol? Is that not a drug? Well why then do we have the choice to do those things but not other things? Since when did I deem you my personal gaurdian angel? Or is it, the government is making more money from them being illegal than they would if they were legal? "The number of young people using drugs is increasing while drug usage in America is generally going down," said Attorney General Janet Reno. Now I don't want to sound overly contemptuous here but how the hell are more people doing drugs and at the same time overall drug use declines? We as Americans spent 16 billion dollars in 1997 alone fighting drugs. And where may I ask has that gotten us? in 1999 Marijuana use among teens alone was up 37%. Another batch of our money well spent I see! You will never stop the onflow of drugs into and out of this country! People have been using mind altering substances since the dawn of time! We as Americans should take our heads out of our asses long enough to realize the problem in the world is not drugs themselves, but the pure lack of education about them! Alcohol prohibition tore America apart once. Now it is the war on drugs. Harsh laws and the threat of jail and fines will not stop drug use. All they do is make it harder to help people. And just as Prohibition created organized crime, today's drug laws keep organized crime alive with all the violence and corruption that goes along with it. Before drugs were illegal, Americans handled them with few problems. Let's respect the right of people to control their own bodies. Decriminalize drugs, help those who need it, and let the police spend their time protecting us from real crime. I, too, want to live in a society where people are healthy and productive, not destroying their lives with addictive drugs. All of the hard drugs were legal before 1914, and there were few addicts. Studies show that even addicts can be productive, and also that they do not engage in crime when they can get their drugs inexpensively. We have addicts today despite drug criminalization. We also have the violence that is caused by drugs being illegal. Let's decriminalize drugs so we stop the violence and get help to those who need it. Fewer people die from illegal drugs because they are, on average, much safer than alcohol or tobacco. In spite of widespread marijuana use, for example, people don't die from it. An estimated 90% of deaths due to overdose of more toxic recreational drugs are caused by tainted formulations and other blackmarket consequences. In the U.S., shared needles are the major cause of the spread of AIDS not the once feared homosexual. The War on Drugs has made a minor health problem into a major one." Your silence in this matter is shameful for the simple reason that the "War" on drugs is nothing more than an endlessly expensive replay of prohibition!
