US War on Drugs

[RICHARD]

Here's a little trivia about drug busts.


I seem to remember that for every dollar's worth of street drugs taken off the street by the cops, they get 50 cents, paid for by the government to keep their drug section going.


I may be wrong about that fact, or the monies involved......

There was a pot bust here in So Cal a while back.......there were some live plants that were cut down and carted away by the cops...

Street worth was about 10 million dollars.

THat made me laugh out loud....



The war on drugs is nothing but a money making scam.....

I always found this kind of infuriating...a guy beats a dog and leaves it outside to starve and die. He gets a $500 fine.

Another guy gets found with a baggie of pot in his pocket-he's in jail for 1-5 years.

I really don't understand it..if you wanna mess yourself up, it should be legal to do so.

I understand that maybe heroin, acid, crack, etc should be illegal, as those are pretty bad when you get into it. But c'mon, pot and taking 'prescription drugs' and stuff..just leave those people alone. If it was legal it would probably boost the economy. Marijuana is less damaging and (sometimes) less intoxicating than alcohol.

Being that many dealers are in on crimes related to violence as well as dealing, I have little to no sympathy for them.

HOWEVER:

I've said it once, I'll say it again.

Put 20 guys in a room with a keg.

put 20 guys in another room with all the pot they want.

Which room is going to need the police?

Using should not end up as jail time, unless the sentence involves treatment (which most do not)

And which room needs the Fire Dept...?
LOL, just look for the burns in the rug and furniture.
