Prohibition, because it worked so well with alcohol.

Did you know that at the same time as our government is criminalizing drugs for people and imprisoning millions of them in private run prisons it's also helping to grow Heroin fields in Afghanistan which now accounts to 93% of worlds heroin?? U.S. uses its military force to protect those fields in Afghanistan and later ships the Heroin around the world including U.S.?

Google "The Post-9/11 Afghan Heroin explosion" and "NY times: Afghan opium kingpin"

THUMBS UP if you think war on drugs is B.S.

@thereinlies you are a fool and have no facts to support yor rhetoric...maybe that's why you post the same bs over and over with no facts...why the hell would people buy a plant they can grow in their backyard from cartels...I've smoked for 15yrs and not once had a car accident due to my habit

[McMuffin752]

war on drugs is a joke

[blackheart103]

Yeah let's legalize cocaine and heroin. So we can have crazy ass tweakers running around.

[FreestylaBoy]

I'm Norwegian. the Norwegian population is just around 5 million ppl.

and over 1 million Norwegians have smoked Marijuana. including me & Our Prime Minister, when he was in his teen years of course.

[TheORGANEZIZED]

I'm more scared of standing next to a dude who owns an assault rifle then someone who smokes pot or crack!

@djosccom If you're so curious; anything can be a drug. From sex to TV, anything to keep us from experiencing STILLNESS, to help us run away from our incessantly thinking minds because we cant face the reality of our monkey minds. Regardless of whatever drugs me or anyone is doing, almost every little thing we do, we do it for a reason. I for one, miss the fuck out of drugs, but choose to face life without using any crutches and watering down the perfect experience that life already is.

The person you asked the question towards.

[Ragitsu]

@sallylongpants

Did they ever get back to you?

[thereinliestherib]

@sallylongpants Why do you keep responding if you can't provide any facts to assert your position?

[thereinliestherib]

@sallylongpants You just wrote four inane comments, none of which refer to any facts. So much smoke blown into the internet, and no one will even read it...
