American Drug Policy

Drugs are nothing new. And yes they are natural. Nor is the restriction of drugs, or the war on drugs. What is the objections to the Drug War. 1. It doesn't work 2. It's costly 3. It takes away freedom 4. People can still get drugs, you can't stop people. 5. People still want drugs. 6. It treats people like children, that's just going to make it more.
1.It doesn't work. The War on Drug doesn't work. The War on loneliness, murder, political corruption, bad grammar, wrinkles, all do not work.
2.It's costly. It's expensive. Do drugs increase productivity? No. So the lack of drugs makes individual more productive.
3.It takes away freedom. Yes criminals freedoms are taken away. I also can't buy a nuclear weapon for some dry leave in my backyard. I can't wear a blind fold while drive.
4.People can still get drugs, you can't stop people from getting a fix. You are right. The policy is not to watch over every last person and there behavior, but to give a rock bottom that is not a grave.
5.People want drugs. How can it be wrong when it feels so right. Popularity has noting to do with right and wrong. It is not an opinion poll. Everyone opinions are not equal.
6.It's treating people like children. Yes, because they are acting like children. A feen does not care about reason. It's hard, I know, for libertarians to come to grasp with the fact that many people do not operate on reason. And like children they don't understand why things are valuable, what is worth treasuring. They will reason just as far as they get their fix. A child has nothing against arguing. Children will argue with you if you stand between whatever harmful, narrow-minded, shiny-potential-car-wreck, while claiming they are old enough till they have to pay for their youth.
Opium are native to the mountain lands of Burma. It is used as currency. It is not uncommon to see presents strung out in villages. And it is next to impossible to remove the narco state from the political process that it greases the wheels on.
The British were losing massive amounts of silver to China in the late 19th early 20th century. The Chinese wanted nothing from the Westerns but their silver for their tea. The British brought the traditions of smoking Opium to the Chinese(This tradition came from the British tobacco smoking tradition). Millions and Millions of Chines became addicted. The Empior seen his country rot from the inside,(It was know even in the Times of Tamerlane that a broken man is worth nothing to the state. Broken people do not offer defense for themselves or their state) ordered the Ports closed to the opium. This began the Opium Wars which the British won. Generations of Men where destroyed. What value is a broken man to his family, to himself, to anything.
Is it wisdom to snare at traditions of the past? We stand on the sunburn shoulders and the wrinkled brows of men that never shared half the property we do to day.
