Some real red pills.
Drugs
IIRC in the US, white people sell drugs at a higher rate than black people, but black people are way more likely to get thrown in jail for it. The war on drugs is without a doubt used to incarcerate poor people and ethnic minorities for non-violent "crimes".
Carl Hart is so based
i mean I do have druggy friends, but often heroin and meth are among the only things they never did, and if you openly tell people you did coke you might as well tell them you did heroin
Watched some interview with this guy a few years ago. Pretty cool guy.
Drug laws are not that simple. Very few narcotics are only useful for getting high, most of them have legitimate uses or at least significant experimental potential. The Western world's hardline violence against drug usage makes this legitimate usage increasingly difficult for people who actually need these substances. I take Adderall, for example, which is a stimulant that is almost exclusively used as medically intended, even when procured illegally, and it's long since been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for moderate to severe ADHD. As far as the government is concerned, I am basically a criminal that is not politically expedient to arrest.
The War on Drugs is conservative cultural politics, plain and simple. Even the feds' own drug researchers contradict the DEA's policies, like MDMA being Schedule I, a ruling that is not technically legal (which doesn't matter since the law doesn't apply to neocons).
A more important question: why are they illegal in the first place? What’s the profit motive for keeping these substances illegal? I mean sure, there are spooked people who think they’re inherently bad and dangerous and what not, but it doesn’t seem to make sense for the bouigiose to waste money on a retarded drug war.
Why would you want a drug-addicted proletariat?
I come from a state with one of the highest rates of opiate OD deaths. Of course the war on drugs has been a massive failure, but addicts need help and drug dealers are rats.
Then just provide them with access to clean pharmgrade shit.
The problem is lack of harm reduction education
I'm in full agreement addicts are victims with an illness not criminals who deserve punishment. HOWEVER many dealers are scumfucks.
