I DO hope your joshing?
Cuz if you are serious, you have a real problem.
While I don't condone the use of drugs (and I support stiff penalties for "DEALERS") the thought of even considering such draconian penalties for simple possession, as you are, makes YOU a prime candidate for some of dat Jim Jones Koolaid!
Or better yet, perhaps you should consider emigrating to Singapore--where peoples rights' begin and end at the border.
If you violate the law you've given up your rights. This isn't an issue of rights. The government has the authority to make crimes punishable by death.
We are losing this war on drugs our country is fighting. If you want to talk about rights, think of what is happening under the current situation - seizing private property. If you are a landlord and someone is using your property to grow or sell drugs, you can lose your property. That's merely one example of the outrageous violations to the Constitution that our government is committing every day under the War On Drugs.
As many others here have pointed out, the WOD is so beneficial to the government in terms of the revenue it generates, there is no real desire to win. The government has interests in continuing the present state of affairs.
But the present state of affairs does nothing to stop drug use, it only allows the government to continue to grow, continue to invade the lives of individuals and violate our personal freedoms.
I believe a decision must be made to end the current state of affairs, and after significant time considering the options available to us, I am convinced that the only way we will win the War on Drugs is to impose the most severe punishment we can for those caught in possession of drugs.
I'm absolutely not joshing. I believe the present state of affairs is helping to grow our government and destroy our country from within.
