Drug legalization would equal more government intervention and more illegal activity. No one would want the higher priced, less potent drugs sanctioned by the United States government. Drug abusers would seek stronger, cheaper pills and potions manufactured in anything from sheds to bathtubs. I sure as hell wouldn t keep it to myself. My suggestion for this nation s war on drugs is for our government to stop perceiving drugs as a faceless evil that must be killed and stamped out.
Drugs are more than just a bad thing that bad people do.
They are a release, an escape for many lonely, unloved and lost souls. Instead of fighting this opponent, we must educate and cleanse those who have been misguided. We must provide a community of support and mandated healthcare for those who have been pushed into believing that problems can be ignored through fleeting euphoria. We do not need harsher punishments or more border patrol. When human beings have a reason to live without drugs, they will.
