The War Against Drugs

The difference between an earthquake and a tornado is great but in the end both cause an extreme amount of destruction. In a way both represent our political parties in this little war on drugs we’ve been fighting. One sucks you up and drops you like a bomb on your neighbors house and the other splits open the Earth leaving you to disappear between the cracks. Either way bubba its pretty safe to assume that doom awaits you regardless of which disaster strikes.

Take for example George W Bush. He openly and brazenly broke laws on a consistent basis. He was like a tornado. You knew he was coming but there was nothing you could do about it. Even with ample warning. Our current White House goof is more like an Earthquake though. You have no warning of the laws he’s going to break until after he’s broken them and by then you’ve been flushed down the cracks of the Earth leaving yourself to wonder what the hell just happened.

Ok I know you are wondering what the above two paragraphs have to do with the Drug war and I will tell you. We are told that we must support this war against drugs because it makes the world a safer place. However I had a revelation the other day that contradicts that thinking. I have known many people who have taken part in some form of drug use or another. Whether it was falling asleep on the couch after smoking marijuana or talking to trees for six hours during an intense LSD experience the one thing that these people all had in common was that none of these fine citizens had delusions of power or world domination. Perhaps if someone had slipped Admiral Tojo a joint or two Pearl Harbor might still be standing. You can bet the house that Tojo rose with the sun every morning. Not too many potheads I know have the energy or the desire to do that.

Now I realize that example seems a bit extreme so I will give you another far more recent example. Last year our esteemed government supplied weapons to Mexican drug dealers in the hopes that they could trace these weapons thus catching said drug dealers. Unfortunately the drug dealers didn’t get that plan because they used those weapons to kill American citizens and an American agent. Now our border states are paying for that insanity with tighter restrictions to their 2nd amendment rights. Now Eric Holder has said that the whole thing was a big misunderstanding. You bet bubba, and Im sure if you asked Alice’s Red Queen about all those beheadings she’d say the same thing. The problem though is this: every time there is a government “misunderstanding” it costs we the people. Whether its in tax dollars or a restriction of rights we end up paying for their stupidity. Yes sir Ronald Reagan knew what he was doing. Dutch may have played a hero on screen but in real life he was a living breathing snake oil salesman.

Look how long this “War On Drugs” has been going on. What do we have to show for it? Drug Cartels are running crazy down in Mexico shooting and beheading anything that breathes, Colombia has used our “Anti-Drug” aid to cover up their own Drug corruption, and the only thing the American public has received from it is more debt and more restrictions on our rights. Need I even bring up the CIA plane that crashed in Mexico carrying 3.3 tons of cocaine? Don’t kid yourself my friends there is more money in “fighting” drugs than there is in legalizing them. Ron Paul has been called crazy for saying its up to the individual states on whether drugs should be legal or not. From where I stand it makes a lot more sense than continuing to pay for some sham “war” with our rights and our tax dollars.
