Time to make all drugs legal

Black Lives Matter doesn't mean shit till we do aware with the drug war and the for profit prison system America has. Our world is legitimately under threat on just about all fronts. The Earth is burning and throwing disease at us. We don't have time or energy for the drug war. Evil from the get go. Pray that the politicians grow some balls and help out all Americans by making crack legal. And then maybe the incels could get laid...maybe.

How would crack help get them laid? They would still be in their parents basements.

Im all for ending the drug wars. Put those resources into programs to help rehab people who need it.

Yep, that's the problem. Big Pharmacy.
Nah, they would make a killing with them, it would be them that would be able to produce the quantities to be sold wholesale.

The Republicans don't want to give it up as a political issue, it doesn't cost them much at all and they get to pander to their evangelical base. And there is not enough 'legalize all drugs' pressure on the Democrats to use up a lot of political capital to do that when they get power as the Republicans melted everything and never are able to hold power long enough to tick off enough important items on the list of shit to get done.

Not judging, maybe judging... Enjoy your crack
Never did crack, coke yeah, not crack. Wasn’t really a thing where I’m from. If not for American tv and Whitney Houston wouldn’t even know what it is. But it should be legal.

Is ending the war on drugs going to end systemic racism in America?

You're an idiot troll, gfy.
To end something that is systemic you have to change or end the system.

Since the war on drugs is a failure and based in offensive force, will you be a failure too and try to end the "systemic racism" by using offensive force too?

If only you were a little smarter than you are, then you'd know how wrong you've been, thinking you can apply offensive force and not create unintended consequences.

No, but it would end a major reason for police forces to target blacks, and you’re a fool if you don’t get that.....on a pot board. I would say ending the drug war is the most important step.

It is a waste to have all those young men imprisoned for no good reason. For most, drug are not a problem whatsoever. For those who are susceptible to addiction, it's just another barrier to seeking help. For those who won't seek help, they will get their drugs anyway and so the wheel turns. This country experimented with prohibition in the 1920's and found it created more problems than it solved. Why that lesson didn't take is beyond me.

The lesson took, then the goal became to make money off of prisoners and militarization of our police departments. You obviously know this but worth saying it again. All about the money and keeping non-whites down.

Legalizing all drugs is not about legalizing drugs, it's about shifting the way we deal with addiction from a criminal problem to a social/health problem. Using prison as a social safety net for addiction and mental illness doesn't work, it's dehumanizing and costly for both the addict and society.

Legalizing all drugs also provides people with a safe alternative to street drugs that are cut and stomped on with who knows what, and are measured in "doses" which saves lives.

Actually not. You cite an outcome as if it were a goal. The goal was political. Nixon used the war on drugs to gain votes. Reagan did the same. Not that Bill Clinton or Biden are innocent in this either. The war on drugs has been a hot button issue for older white voters for a long time. Especially with the silent generation. Now that they are all but dead and boomers are moving on, the issue might finally become a political one in the other direction.
