Some people
are still functioning under the illusion that drug use can be stopped by
government violence and threat of violence. Outlawing certain
drugs raises their price, pushes the activity "underground," makes criminals wealthy, finances
terrorism, corrupts government officials, Encourages
otherwise law-abiding citizens to sell drugs, and does absolutely nothing to stop drug use. It actually
encourages more drug use because the only way many people can pay for their
habit is to get their friends hooked on drugs. It's also grossly
hypocritical because it outlaws products that are far less harmful than several
presently legal drugs such as alcohol and nicotine.
The huge
profits encourage people to become criminals. Seventy percent
of all crime is drug related. Keeping drugs illegal also
supports a huge, multi-billion-dollar, police/prison industry.
Keeping drugs illegal creates morality-enforcers and pushes
the country in the direction of a police-state.
Illegal drugs are at the core of the crime everywhere on the planet.
A significant percent of the world's economy is based upon the sale of illegal
drugs.
Overwhelming
evidence shows that the prohibition of alcohol during the 1920's was a
complete failure and that it spawned the birth of what is
now a global-level, semi-secret, organized-crime network. In the
face of overwhelming evidence that the prohibition of alcohol was a social
disaster and in the face of equally compelling evidence that the present
prohibition of certain drugs is a disaster of far greater proportions,
politicians are still waging war against the of use of certain declared-to
be-illegal drugs. Let's answer the question, "WHY ?" and
then look at what drug prohibition is costing us.
Why
Politicians Can't Oppose Keeping Certain Drugs Illegal . If you had billions of dollars at your disposal,
and if you were also morally bankrupt, could you figure out ways to secretly
financially support ² or otherwise assist those
politicians who vote to keep drugs illegal? Of course you could!
And you could also do so without them even knowing that they had a secret
benefactor. And the opposite is also true. With equal
secrecy, you could be a destroyer of those who support the decriminalization of
the now-illegal drugs.
Secret
money is the death of democracy. Each year, billions of secret dollars
go into the pockets of the criminals that run the world. But don't
expect this to change any time soon. WHY? Because those
who run the illegal drug cartels are sleepwalkers. They have no idea
of who or what they
really are ² and they haven't a clue regarding the long-term
consequences of what they are doing.

Seventy percent of
all crime is drug related. Sixty percent of illegal drug money
comes from marijuana. Take away the profit and seventy percent of all
criminal activity would stop all by itself.
