Angry Drug Laws and Politics

Quote:
The drug laws in the United States are designed to INCREASE drug use among the population not reduce them. People, the social architects have been employing psychologists for decades to create effective propaganda and now the globalists are using them to completely dismantle society through the phony war on drugs. If you've read Brave New World and know a little back story on the Huxley family legacy the connection here should be fairly obvious. Why is the legal drinking age 21 even though I can die for my country at 18? Because the social architects know these types of policies breed addiction. Think about it, if you're taught to avoid something throughout your entire childhood chances are when the opportunity arises you'll get a little curious about all the fuss. That's why most people on college campuses today are alcoholics. Point. Blank. Because of my family's non Anglo-Saxon origin I've had small doses of alcohol since I was eight or nine. In fact, I would say my consumption was encouraged by my parents. At this point most people would be freaking out, but listen to this. I've never been drunk in my life because there's not really any mystique about it, at least in my eyes. Alcohol is just another beverage...one that requires personal responsibility. But alas, most families aren't like this and as a result they breed alcoholics. The drug laws are basically the same. Since the war on drugs began around 1970 heroine usage has doubled and cocaine usage has tripled and yet people still clamor that we need more government control. In a nutshell, the drug laws are designed to create dependence in the population to the point where nothing matters to them except consuming the drug of their choice...even if they lose their freedom in the process.
This is a quote from another forum that I am a member of. It really angered me to read this I guess because I can see truth in it. Laws are supposed to protect citizens not make criminals of them which is what the government is doing with the supposed "war on drugs".

Personally I think drug addiction should be a public health issue rather than an issue of law. I think people here would understand the impact of the war n drugs better than people who don't deal with addiction on a daily basis. I want to encourage others who believe the same way I do to write the law makers in Washington and do something about this tragedy.

Drugs will never be decriminalized...way too many make way too much money on drugs...and I ain't talking about the drug dealers.

Huge government agencies, bureaucrats, lawyers, even those in congress all profit from the judicial system the way it is now. It won't change unless they could profit from it being decriminalized.

The prison industry employs many, many, many taxpayers. Yeah... I consider it an industry.
