I was pondering the world in which we live, one of my many obsessions, and my thoughts turned to 'The War on Drugs'. A war which has a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars$$$, but which has no end. Then I began thinking about why anyone would wage a war like that, knowing it could not be won. It was then that I realized that the governments of the world are not against drugs at all. They are against anyone else selling them...they just want their cut!
Let me explain:
There are only a few drugs that the governments have a problem with, Cocaine, Marijuana, Opiates, and what I call Chemicals or Synthetic drugs.
There are, however, thousands of drugs you can buy each and every day at your drugs store, food store, liquor store, etc...The governments have a hand in the pharmaseutical companies, and thus profit greatly from all the sales of these 'legal' drugs. Again, if you try to sell them without a license you will be arrested...they want their cut.
So I followed the arguement that street drugs and 'legal' drugs are different...not quite. You see, you can get perscriptions for: Marijuana, Cocaine, Opium (and it's derivitaves), and of course a whole slew of designer drugs to fit whatever need you think you have at the time. Again, the only difference is... they want their cut.
So I followed the arguement that drugs are bad (although it's kinda obvious no one really thinks so...got any tylenol?), and found that it is indeed true...Drugs Are Bad...if taken in large quantities, for the wrong reason, if improperly mixed...but then that goes for anything in life (ever mix milk and vinegar....not good to drink is it...makes ya puke...). So I was left with the last option remaining...
The governments are not opposed to the masses using drugs! Just opposed to the masses using drugs not sold by the government.
This of course led me to get pissed of at all the people who have been killed, harrassed, arrested, imprisioned, etc, etc, and of course about all the money wasted on this 'Gang War'. It makes me realize that the people we follow are no better than Itallian Mobsters, and in fact are worse because of the secrets and lies told us by the governments.
It is my obnoxious opinion that everyone reads this and emails their respective government representitives (and mail them, and harrass them, etc,etc,etc) until someone starts telling the truth and the rules of the game are changed.
Again...my opinion...not necessarily yours...
