End The War On Drugs And Legalize All Drugs

Now I don't advise anyone to go out and do illegal drugs because this is would be ILLEGAL. I also don't do illegal drugs so with that said lets move on. This is a touchy subject and people don't like talking about it. Well this is the purpose of my blog, to talk about the things people don't want to talk about. The primary way organized crime syndicates make money is through the sell of drugs. Now the logical thing to do would be to prohibit them in a country so the citizens can't buy them. But sometimes the most logical (or easiest) answers are the best ones. By making them illegal you now gave the entire market to the cartels, gangs, terrorists, etc. Now they can make ALL the money to supply their groups to do other horrible things. Think about it, if you legalize it you give the market to the legal owners who don't do horrible crimes like murder. People will pay taxes on them bringing more money to the states and federal government. You can argue that this will cause children to become drug addicts at a much higher rate. I don't think this would be true at all because by the time I was 11 I knew what every drug was called due to schools giving drug awareness classes. Just because something is legal doesn't make it easier for children to get their hands on. It was really hard trying to get LEGAL alcohol when I was a teenager, almost impossible, that's why I then turned to marijuana, an ILLEGAL DRUG. Illegal drugs are easier for children to get a hold of because they are on the street and trust me dealers don't check I.D. The "drug war" cost the U.S billions upon billions of dollars each year. You can check the drug war clock in real time at http://www.drugsense.org/cms/wodclock. Why would you spend all the money each year on a war that's been going on for decades when the majority of the population believe will never be won. All that money could go to better use like giving addicts free rehabilitation.
 Looking back to the time of prohibition when alcohol was illegal, people then claimed to stop drinking because the without the sin of illegality it just wasn't "fun" anymore. Practically overnight mass shooting and crime related to underground liquor disappeared. Without the profit from alcohol people like Al Capone faded into history as a mere memory of America. By legalizing all drugs you open up a whole new category of workers and business man all paying taxes and being paid legal money in turn spending that money into our economy. Think about all the people that go into the distribution of alcohol, bartenders, waitresses, bar owners, executive distillers, etc. Drugs are the only reason traffickers are in business. Society needs to open up their eyes and see that the drug war is not working and hasn't worked for decades. There are millions of non-violent offenders still in our prisons being kept in bars like an animal because of possession charges. They are addicts and need society's help to get clean. If legalized AND decriminalized we can then focus on helping addicts overcome their addiction and change their lives. Prison won't help them, and even if they overcome their addiction they wont be able to get a good job and start a good career. A potential employer will do a basic background check and see that they have a drug charge and wont even give them a chance. If you would like to sign a petition to legalize drugs click here. The war on drugs should end and their should be a new war declared. The war on addiction. The first step in battling this foe should be to legalize and decriminalize all drugs to take out a major source of income for traffickers. With drug related crime and trafficking under control we can focus our attention on rehabilitating addicts. Its time America!
Drug Legalization = Drug Liberation!
