Pot Heads could solve the debt problem!

We could also solve the problem of government encroachment on civil liberties. The basic things that the Founding Fathers fought for, that we're now handing over to a growing police state.

Call me silly, but I'd rather deal with pot-heads than SWAT-gone-wild.

Do you have anything worthwhile to add to the thread? If you’d like to offer an argument that pertains to the thread topic, then I’d love to hear it. :)

As an aside, why don't you actually watch the videos? I've never met anyone who watched the videos that didn't at least stop to reconsider their position. If moral and economic arguments don't start to convince you that this is a failure, then maybe the empirical evidence will: we have more people using drugs like marijuana than we did when the War on Drugs started 40 years ago.

I made my tagline just for you!

There has never been a war on drugs. Just a few skirmish’s

If I were President, I would show you a war on drugs.

I would bomb the Poppy fields and Marijuana fields with Napalm. I would bomb the processing plants, I would shoot the dealers and drug cartel leaders just as I would a traitor in wartime.

I would poison the drugs like alcohol was poisoned during prohibition, and make any dealer I caught eat whatever drugs they had on them. Would they die?? Who cares.?
These people are killing users and their kids. Destroying their lives. I would turn all drug dealers in prison now loose, with a stern warning that next time they get executed.

War is war, fight it like a war or STFU and get out of the way.

Insisting on continuing the War on Drugs is as stupid as the liberals' defending the War on Poverty. Neither "war" has worked.

I want to end it for one reason, because the federal and state governments have used it as an excuse for stealing our property and liberty. Our loss of freedoms by the government snooping into every aspect of our lives is far more damaging than some pothead smoking a doobie then watching cartoons and eating cheetos.

Have a look at the effect of Red Dye No. 22 on pot fields. Granted, pulling them up and burning them also works. As for meth heads, keeping them in a state of excitement long enough works wonders. They'll either leave the neighborhood or get themselves arrested.
