"Typical druggie propaganda. Blame the WOD even though Escobar rose to power BEFORE the WOD began!"
Right, because coke was made illegal in 1973 when Nixion started the WOD.
Nope, wrong again.
Paublo would have been nothing but a small time carjacker if it wasn't for the power his coke money created.

" I just dont understand something, cocaine must be stopped."
It will never be stoped by making it illegal.
Wasn't it Will Rogers that said we should outlaw education because within five years we will have the best educated population on earth?

'And we have a thousand fools supporting Soros in his quest for drug legalization, a new world order, a national police force, more UN power and absolute gun control.'
Always worth a laugh, thanks cin.

The basis of moral behavior is self-control, not external control. Ever stop to wonder why God put all of these temptations on earth in the first place? It's not the role of government to be messianic and make people good. Where there are victims there are crimes, otherwise its just a crime against the state, thought crime, etc. Giving government the power to control people's states of consciuos ness is a double edged sword. A government that can keep you from ingesting conscious altering substances could just as easily lay claim to promoting their use. Given the promulgation of Ritalin (a cocaine analog) by the Government Run Youth Propaganda Camps, that's not so farfetched. The War on Drugs is just practice for the war on guns. Once that is done you'll see all drugs legalized to further keep the population dumbed-down, mullified, and distracted.

Doesn't the second part of your sentence contradict the first?The point Im trying to make is,legalization will not work. Ask any recovering cocaine addict or alcoholic. Through the Grace of God, I have overcome both. At the same time I could slip right back into the self destruction that those addictions brought me to, with the ease of swatting a fly. That is the nature of addiction. It cant be regulated...period. And that is not just my opinion, at one time it was my life. So spin it anyway you want, legalization wont work, I am living proof.

How did you beat your addiction? Did jail help you?

Seems to me that, if anything, cocaine addicts are living proof that ILlegalization doesn't work.

No, I woke up one day after a bad drunk and said no more. But jail had been in my past for the neglected items due to substance abuse; suspended drivers license, Fail to appear, etc. And thats the point, guys. The nature of addiction is it becomes all about the drug. Nothing else matters, I will be kept awake for the rest of my life remebering the things I have said and done as result of addiction. Legalization will add exponentially, scumbags like myself, into society, because of the availability of the drugs that are illegal now. I dont have the answer, guys, and I have revealed way more of myself that ever intended, just take the word of someone who has been there; Legalization is not the answer.

Cocaine addiction knows no legalities. It will be addictive legal or not.

Blame the WOD even though Escobar rose to power BEFORE the WOD began! Escobar was old enough to rise to power before the prohibition laws were passed about ninety years ago? What is he, a vampire?

Perhaps you should read something OTHER than your pro-drug websites.

I'm all about
The History Channel now. I flipped past this last night; I won't do it again.
I do have a question though: in the last few weeks, I have seen or heard a story about France hiding intelligence they have had about AQ being active in France, up to and including the manufacturing and distribution of ricin; did I hear that on THC in one of those Saddam documentaries?
Or did I hear that guy Monsour on Fox say that.
If anybody knows.

Always worth a laugh, thanks cin. Not a laughing matter. I have no desire to live under the new world order you are supporting.

Obviously not a post from one who has the capability of thinking for himself, but one who is saturated with pro-dope propaganda.
