Drug War Still Useless

And it gives government excuses to do things (“to fight drugs, dontcha know”) they couldn’t do without this excuse. There are more people abusing drugs now than there were BEFORE the “drug war” started. All it does is make sure drug prices remain high. So what use is it? For one thing, it allowed them to pass the RICO Laws, which allow them to “stop and search” ANYBODY without warrants, if they “LOOK LIKE” drug dealers, and “confiscate” (steal) any money they find on them upon which drug residue can be found (never mind there is drug residue on every bill out there, and some still at the Mint!). This “war” has been worth a LOT of money to them and has made CRIMINALS out of many cops who no longer “fight the drug war,” but now try and “confiscate” (steal) as much money as possible. They even have SEMINARS (for cops) on how to “confiscate” (steal) more money. They’ve got more VICTIMS of the “drug scene” in prison now, than they do real criminals. Let them go, and magically, the “overcrowding” problem disappears. (Freedom’s Phoenix)
