There’s one thing (almost) everyone agrees upon and that is that the WAR ON DRUGS is a complete and utter failure! In my opinion, it is useless. Tell a kid to not do something and the next second that all he or she is thinking about doing. And what does that lead to? To doing the fucking drug!
Now, i’ve seen all these new “wonderful” ads for the campaign “Above the Influence”. Really? Like that’s gonna help. Why not instead of spending thousands or millions of dollars on this crap, spend it better in trying to help those who want to quit using. There’s all this talk about how people should quit drugs but there’s no actual help for those who need it, for those who don’t even have a dime to pay for real treatment. The government should focus instead on treating addicts as patients not as criminals.
If people want to use all kinds of shit, let them by all means! It’s their own bodies they’re damaging. Just like with the damn birth control pill, any kind of drug is a choice an individual makes. Legalize the damn stuff and drug users and addicts will get clean drugs that won’t be cut with even more dangerous shit.
The world is fucked up and will continue to be fucked up until people in general accept that everyone is entitled to have the freedom to make their own choices as long as they don’t infringe on other’s rights!
Anyway, enough about my ranting about the government and drugs.
tons of reasons to think the way that I do…not that I will explain them in this brief note…]]]
