Now I don't agree with this video, in that I do not advocate any drug use including marijuana/cannabis, although it certainly has medical applications for many people. I just think telling people to 'go smoke some weed' is irresponsible. I'm not a huge fan of the cannabis culture, just something a little...spacey...about it. (Stating the obvious!)
However, no matter what you think of weed, you've got to be honest and admit that there are many many more dangerous drugs that are completely legal. How about the biggest drug of them all, refined sugar. Not mentioned in the video but that is possibly the most dangerous 'abused substance' of all due to its ubiquitousness. I'm not addicted to sugar, I could give up any time I want.
Okay how's about taking heroin addicts and giving them methadone, an even more dangerous drug, as a 'treatment'. Rockefeller drug dealing. Well they won't be addicted to heroin anymore I guess! Jeremy Kyle, my British readers will know him, he means well but he is always telling heroin addicts to get on a methadone project, which frankly is about as helpful as throwing water on a chip pan fire.
The state should just get it over with, admit they are doing most of the drug running and pull up big army trucks full of CIA's Finest Colombian outside schools and just hand it out.
But they don't need to do that, they can diagnose the children with some non-disorder like ADHD and force them to take the addictive, deadly Ritalin, which is basically a legal form of cocaine, sort of. If they didn't have behavioural problems before, they will now!
To the people who want to keep drugs away from society by banning them - I understand, and I am extremely anti-drug in regards to personal preference (and that goes for all drugs including things not usually recognised as such), but making them illegal only allows the state-cartel axis to control the profitable market for drugs, and the corrupt police to lord it over everyone else, planting drugs on people, expanding their power to 'fight drugs', etc.
The real and only solution - one which no amount of authoritarianism can make up for - is to have an educated, informed, and spiritually and mentally 'armed' populace who will be capable of avoiding coming under the control of any addictive drug, whether it's being pushed by illegal drug dealers, legal drug 'retailers', or prescription drug dealers aka 'doctors'. No doubt sometimes medical drugs do help but often they just end up killing people slowly.
Legalise all drugs and you remove the profit incentive for this corrupt state-cartel drug mafia to continue poisoning society. No longer can they use the police to go after their market competitors.
Think of all the ordinary kids who have been arrested for drug possession, then got raped in prison and become (Masonic) gang members, and then come out of there hardcore lifetime criminals. What a waste, and all due to the insane drug laws. Makes the government funded prison industry very rich though huh?

ReplyDeleteI really agree with that paragraph. We have similar attitudes. You know what drugs are? A form of control. When I was taking a midterm in college once a Black guy came in late with bloodshot eyes, and smelling heavily of a certain kind of smoke. He sat down next to me. I thought about how he isn't helping ANYONE. Not himself, not his people, not society. He's controlled. He won't rebel. He won't try to self-improve, he clearly didn't care too much about education. You got someone on drugs, you know what you got? Someone under control.
