The time in which we live seems to be spent in an endless war on drugs. With
|
|
the fight to abolish the sale of "illegal" drugs, another fight is made to
|
|
break the addictions brought on by the these drugs and the harmful, and more
|
|
often than not, DEADLY effects they have on the user. Cocaine is a highly
|
|
addictive drug, and cocaine kills. While efforts made to aid those suffering
|
|
from addiction are a good cause for humanity, the war on drugs is futile and
|
|
is wasting too many of our tax dollars.
|
|
|
|
If there is going to be a war on drugs, and a war to fight the effects of
|
|
addition, why doesn't the United States government wage a war on other
|
|
addictive drugs? What drugs are these? Well...
|
|
|
|
Television, Caffeine, Alcohol, Tobacco, Cola Drinks, Sugar, Music, Eating,
|
|
Coffee, Support Groups, Self-Help, Preservatives, Food, Water, Driving, Work...
|
|
Yes, there ARE people out there addicted to work. I could go on into the
|
|
millions of things that some people out there are addicted to, but I do not
|
|
think that is necessary.
|
|
|
|
Why don't we all just starve ourselves and be lazy mindless idiots? If we're
|
|
going to cut out addictions and things that are just soooooo BAD and HARMFUL
|
|
for us, why do we draw the line at drugs? Why don't we take away all of life's
|
|
pleasures and pitfalls and be vegetables? Why does the government spend
|
|
millions to fight drugs? There are too many things that have a harmful and
|
|
addictive effect on people OTHER than drugs than to be spending time and
|
|
wasting tax dollars on a fruitless effort.
|
|
|
|
If drugs are abolished in this country and more tax dollars are wasted on
|
|
keeping drugs out, then I sure as HELL HOPE that prescription drugs are made
|
|
illegal right along with marijuana, LSD, and crack. I know people who are
|
|
addicted to PRESCRIPTION drugs. They aren't even users of any so-called
|
|
"illegal" drugs. No one can say that some prescription drugs don't have a
|
|
mind-altering effect on a person. There are people addicted to caffeine
|
|
pills and sleeping pills, yet these remain legal.
|
|
|
|
It's hard to say LEGALIZE drugs. I'm for the legalization of marijuana, and
|
|
for purposes, more or less, other than for people to get high and have fun.
|
|
It's a tie of environmental reasons mixed with some various others, but I
|
|
imagine the majority of you would use it only to get fucked and have a good
|
|
time. Not saying I discourage this, heh heh no way, I'd much prefer to get
|
|
high and look at things from a different perspective than to get drunk and
|
|
puke my guts up and pass out. Back to the original point, if marijuana were
|
|
legalized, groups would come forward demanding the legalization of ALL drugs
|
|
that are classified as "illegal." I'm not really for this, and I don't imagine
|
|
the majority of people in America are, either. What I think should happen is
|
|
for the "war on drugs" to just cease or to quit wasting so many tax dollars.
|
|
Let's feed and clothe the homeless. Let's help those who really need it.
|
|
Let's instate environmental programs. Let's STOP wasting money and instead
|
|
spend it wisely.
|
|
|
|
I also hope thatt with the "ending" of drugs in this country comes the
|
|
cessation of television. The government has the American people at bay with
|
|
television. It is one of the biggest drugs in the country. So many people are
|
|
addicted to it. It's the perfect thing. Everyone watches it. And we can be
|
|
controlled and programmed with it. Outlaw it. Ban it. Get rid of it. Damnit,
|
|
if the government is going to banish drug sales and drug use in this country
|
|
then ban television sales and television use. It's the same thing. Except
|
|
in the latter case, we're almost ALL USERS.
|
|
|
|
Caffeine is just as much a drug as cocaine or LSD. We all use it, most all
|
|
of us are addicted to it. We drink Coke (demolish Pepsi, it sucks) like
|
|
there's no tomorrow. Imagine if Coca-Cola, ALL cola drinks, no, ALL forms of
|
|
caffeine and everything containing the caffeine drug, were made illegal.
|
|
We'd have to have that caffeine. We'd do anything to get it. Steal for it.
|
|
Kill for it. We'd go through withdrawl and pay anything to have that caffeine.
|
|
So why is the government fighting the war on illegal drugs? Why don't they turn
|
|
and fight the war against caffeine? Why not fight a war against television?
|
|
|
|
Even if no "illegal" drugs are legalized, the war fought against them should
|
|
lose its magnitude. The government should do some good for once and put our
|
|
tax dollars where WE want them. Not in a fruitless effort to combat drugs
|
|
that are just as serious as the many legal drugs. Alcohol, tobacco, television,
|
|
sugar, and caffeine and the five main legal drugs in the United States, and I
|
|
see no wars being fought against them.
|
|
|
|
With the amount of cola drinks, coffee, and sugar being consumed by the
|
|
American people, we are all plunging into Black and White Death.
|
|
|
|
Write your congresspeople. Support environmental bills. Have them support the
|
|
tuna labelling bill now in committee. Read the Toxic Shock File "Supporting
|
|
A Safer Environment" for ways you can make yourself heard for the environment.
|
|
Encourage them to voice your opinions about where tax dollars should be spent.
|
|
|
|
Find out about NORML and the Freedom Fighters. Both are groups fighting for the
|
|
legalization of marijuana, and hold pro-pot rallies and demonstrations all
|
|
across the country.
|
|
|
|
Help stop this senseless "effort" and let our efforts be spent on something
|
|
more worthwhile.
