So the general consensus is that we need to end the war on drugs. What needs to be done to get this to happen? That is what I was trying to accomplish with my annoying arse posts last week but I quickly realized that the OT board on tigerdroppings.com was not going to get it done.

I honestly prefer law and order but enough is enough and if LEO and the government want to continue to play Billy badges is a badass and conduct a war on its people I believe that it is time for the people to return fire.

*edit* spelling. Android autocorrect is different than IOS apparently.

We have some really bad people. Don’t know what else to say, but we just do, war on drugs aside. It’s a bad lot.

It would help. A lot. We have a lot of issues to fix still but at least it is a starting point that 2/3 of our population can agree with.

The "War" on drugs and the creation of the prison industrial complex.
Correct.

Combined with the 94 crime bill

Let's see: we have a lot on entitled criminals?
And yea, defunding police departments will definitely reduce crime.

True but there would be less drugs on the street to wanna steal from someone.

Less street corners to shoot over.

The amount of violence tied to drugs is ridiculous.

Most of it is black on black crime. They have issues doing bidness the right way.

I always hear stories about someone trying to do business with their side and it usually turns to shite.

No one is saying any changes would result in rainbows and unicorns. Though I do find it interesting that some people can't bring themselves to acknowledge that our current policy status quo is an abject failure on just about every level.

This is my point. Marinuana helps me GREATLY with depression. My wife left me.. massive debt.. suicide attempt.. Lithium. All that shite made me want to attempt suicide a second time. So I went back to my roots back in high-school and college. Started smoking reefer. Dude I have the absolute best life now. I am engaged to a smokingly hot Chinese massage therapist (she doesn't like dama but she doesn't mind my use because it makes me so much more chill and happy). I play Rocket League on the PC, I have increased my expertise in multiple web frameworks, I am getting wicked good on guitar and when I walk around in the Target or the Walmart I know that I have a good life. It is an amazing vegetable and for the life of me I dont know why this puts me on the wrong end of the Law. But it does. THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE.
