<<We need strong and effective ATF, FBI, CIA, Armed forces and police. We could also use an effective war on drugs that we aren't constantly losing. If anything, the drug problem is getting worse.>>
we are losing a "war" that is being fought against ourselves by a government that no longer cares to respect our decisions, while extorting funds from us under threat of force.
studies have shown, that with 2 similar but isolated groups of youth, if you expose one group to anti-drug propaganda, that group is 400% more likely to start using drugs! sounds like the drug war is working some unintended consequences...
california passed propisition 215 three years ago.
it decriminalized marijuana use for the terminally ill, and those who suffer chronic pain. MJ has been proven in studies conducted in the University of washington to halt the progression of glaucoma. they are also covered under prop 215.
california state police are still arresting users, regardless of medical status.
they continue to confiscate medicinal MJ from cancer patients.
but most compelling, the state of CA is stripping doctors of thier medical licenses if they proscribe MJ to anyone, or for any reason.
I'm glad you realize we're losing the "war on drugs". hopefully, soon, America will stop this hemmoraging of tax funds, and adopt a more humane treatement for those who are weak willed, depressed, or just plain stupid enough to get addicted, instead of criminalizing them and waging war on our wallets |
