Personally, I think the suppliers of crack cocaine should be lined up against a wall and shot. Crack is the most insidious evil thing around. I don't know how crack dealers live with theselves, knowing that this crap ruins lives and families.
wait til you get a load of the crystal meth epidemic that is a bout to explode, itll make crack look like candy.
crystal meth or kitchen crank has been around for a long time. Keep your eyes on the heroin epidemic that is growing by leaps and bounds.
Gather all drug dealers big and small. Put them in a corral and declare open season on them. Its a start, then go after the government agency (CIA, et al)that supports the distribution of drugs in this country. Shoot them up with the same drugs they are encouraging until they are well addicted then throw them out on their asses with the rest of the junkies.
What kind of moron drives around with no plates on the car....?
No disrespect to you guys,but these guys selling crack and meth would not be doing it unless cutomers were lining up.These drugs DO ruin peoples lives but its the user who has the ultimate responsibility,not the dude who sells it to him.Nobody twists their arm and forces them to buy the poison.Decriminialize drugs,focus on treatment for users rather than jail and see all the violence associated with drug sales vanish-oops that would be too easy and theres no money in it for anyone....
alot of these drugs are brought across the border, remember the border.
Wow, blutojthetotmom, I thought I was a liberal, but you have me beat six ways to Sunday. No way would I support decriminalizing drugs and focusing on treatment. The addiction rates would positively soar. If there were no dealers, there wouldn't be so many users. I've heard of dealers handing out free samples to get people to buy from them. I say, off with their heads!
Im no liberal just a realist
No offense Grannydragon but the current "war on drugs" has done absolutely nothing to stop people from using them.Anyone who wants them can get them and since they are ILLEGAL,there is a thriving black market,which contributes to violent crime.Decriminalize,control sales and watch the thugs and curbside drug deals vanish.
Alcohol is the vilest drug there is,but we happily tax it and sell it through controllled means and make millions.Did Prohibition stop drinking?No,but it did create a blackmarket(like drugs) that flourished and the crime that comes along with such an enterprise.Families of addicts often whine about the "nasty dealers" but what they dont realize is that if their loved one wasnt getting it from that person,they would just find another way to get what they crave.Their "poor addicted loved one" never bears any responsibility.And sending an addict to jail does nothing to rehabilitate them.Sending dealers to jail does no good either because for every one we put away ,theres 5 to take his place!Decriminalize the most commonly used drugs,sell them in a strictly controlled environment and tax the hell out of it to fund rehabilitation for those who need it.
The main reason illegal drugs are still illegal is because police depts and other agencies dont want to give up on all the forfeiture goodies.Who cares that a jailed addict will get released and go right back to his drug of choice,as long as the police can seize thousands of dollars in property with drug arrests?The current system benefits nobody but those who reap financial rewards from it.
Now,I am gonna go get a tarp to protect me from all the rotten tomatoes readers are bound to toss my way........
I see your point, bluto. You're right, the "War on Drugs" is an unmitigated disaster. But, there are drugs, and then there are really dangerous drugs. Anyone who sells crack knows they are ruining lives; it's my impression that the crack dealers don't use crack themselves. On the other hand, marijuana smokers usually end up rolling on the floor laughing and don't get violent. I can see decriminalizing marijuana (I find it hard to believe that a plant growing from a seed out of a bird dropping could be illegal), but then the breweries and distilleries would end up losing money. We can't have that! Oh, no!
But harder drugs such as cocaine and heroin can and do destroy lives. For those dealers, I still say, "Off with their heads!"
No rotten tomatoes coming atcha from my direction. You, unlike other participants here, can discuss and disagree civilly and without namecalling and insults. My hat is off to you.
