The lion share of the violence is caused by the "war on drugs" and the USA arrogantly exporting it's drug policy to other countries. I mean, U.S. personnel flying over and poisioning crops. If people are allowed to fry their livers with the
hop and the grape, then let them get off on the coca leaf you robot minded idiots. And this Alex James didn't even raise such an obvious point.
@orwellreturning Additionally, cocaine kills people and ruins the lives of anyone involved, including family. I would agree that it is important to hear both sides since there are two sides to every story, however, legalization will never happen...ever. The only story that remains relevant is that it is illegal in this country and will continue to be illegal. Doing so would open the floodgates to a vast amount of things that would be smuggled illegally. ie weapons, etc.
@orwellreturning We both are aware that legalization a narcotic is and never will be on the to do list for the US government. Just because it works somewhere else, does not provide substantial proof that it would work in this country. Explain the suffering? Who is suffering, aside from the addicts who choose to obtain this substance. There are plenty of rehabilitation services offered in this country but people aren't forced to go...obviously this would impose on their free will.
Some people say that the reason so little progress has been made against the suffering caused by criminalisation of drugs and drug abuse, is because, behind the scenes, many of the powers that be are actually in bed with drug barons. One has to wonder. (actually, many are wondering...). Still, it was good to see that some in the Houses of Parliament are still (appearing to be) working towards a solution I was present at one of their meetings.Perhaps more need to speak to their MPs on the matter?
@cjbass16 Please explain why you think that cjbass16? If we keep doing what we have done for decades, we will always get the same results, which is, utter failure and much much suffering. Check out Portugal's decriminalisation of drug possession and focus on treatment for people with drug problems and let us know what you think is dumb about it's apparent success (and our continued failure).
Decriminalisation appears to have worked well for Portugal. There's a short video about it somewhere here on Youtube. I will find it and add a link to it, and then people can watch and make their own mind up. It's important to hear both sides no?
WHY DOES THE WORLD NOT LEGALISE IT AND THE KILLINGS AND CRIME WOULD STOP ITS THE GOVERNMENTS FAULT. ALSO PEOPLE WOULD GET GOOD PRODUCT WITH LESS SIDE EFFECTS AS ITS NOT MIXED. GOVERNMENT COULD MAKE A FORTUNE TAXING IT RATHER THAN SPEND A FORTUNE TRYING AND FAILING TO STOP IT
