Variable's Opinion on Drug Reform
Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you know about the Drug War being waged
in this country. The media is filled with it, hollywood producers are making money
off of it, gangsters and politicians are making money off of it. The only people
who are suffering, are the ordinary people in America who choose to practice their
right to democracy and freedom, to do what they will with their own life.
The American government treats its people like sheep, as if they do not have the
capability or the right to run their own lives. This philosophy debases the vary
premise that this nation was founded on. And it is insulting to every tax-paying
consenting adult in this country.
This is not to say that drugs do not cause harmful effects, depending on the
substance in question. I am merely supporting a platform of legalization of marijuana
(which is an herb not a drug), psychedelics(forget all you learned in high-school), and
the decriminalization of the more addictive and destructive substances such as
cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. Jail has never improved anything about a
person, it has only made them more violent and bitter, and it a virtual College
of Crime. Besides, the majority of the people who fall victim to these POW camps
of the drug war are not the money hungry,dangerous and murderous drug lords that
who should be suffering this fate, but the otherwise law abiding(mostly marijuana only
using) middle class of America. We should be focusing on treatment for those with
addiction problems, and discovering the many uses(medical,recreational, industrial)
uses of marijuana. The problem equates like this. Recent studies have shown that
every dollar that the government spends on treatment is equal in effectiveness
to every seven dollars that the government spends on jailing.
Dont you think its about time we pursued a plan of action that made sense. Prohibition
in the 1920's should have taught us something. Lets not let the greedy Al Capone's of
today profit off of our ignorance. Lets lend our brethren a helping hand, not kick them
to the dust!
