I’m telling you I’m against drug abuse but forced prohibition will NOT stop or help the issue.
The only way to reduce abuse and addiction is an overall spiritual and educational improvement in our society so few people feel the need to abuse drugs.
Prohibition is not helping us achieve this since the control required and inevitable corruption always results in spiritual decay. Few people are caught in the drug dragnet since there is no victim so there will never be enough control to reduce drug abuse without extreme surveillance of ALL people.
Even if you achieve a 100% police state it still won’t be enough. Think: even in prisons people routinely use any drugs they want! The ONLY difference is the higher price and who they pay.
This mentality of trying to control abuse by force has created a militarized police state under the guise of imprisoning mentally ill boogiemen (jumkies!) and playing a wack-a-mole arms race with endless dealers.
I think that statement has caused me to exceed my daily recommended dose of nonsense. I think i'll go do something else for awhile.
