There's a War on Drugs? You'd never know it by teaching a class after lunch at an American High School that has an open campus for lunch. Might as well just have munchies and nap time till 2:00.
Alan That right there is disgusting and a shame. School kids into drugs...what % of the parents are aware of their kids using?

The big reason there is a war on your southern flank is that there is a war on drugs.
Personally, make pot and hash etc legal and taxing the [bleep] out of it would save millions of dollars and thousands of lives.

How timely. I'm watching local news right now and the lead story is about a woman who was charged with her third DUI. Today she hit an 11 year old boy walking on the sidewalk with his dad. Shattered his leg, dislocated his jaw from his skull, all kinds of internal injuries. Hasn't regained consciousness. Not looking good for him even if he survives. She was stoned on otherwise legal prescription drugs.

I haven't read anything in this post that I disagree with. The WOD has too many people depending on its existence for their livelihood. Lots of good young people have had their futures ruined because of one mistake with drugs. We do need a war on Meth.

Focus effort on the hard chit.
Around here weed ain't really hurting anyone. Not that much of a problem.
Go after the [bleep]' meth cookers.
And to an extent that's how they seem to be doing it. one of the city cops told me that given the way Montana's medical marijuana law is written even if yah dont have a card it aint worth their time to write a possession ticket for an ounce or less.....unless they hear yah have a pound or so or are growing a forest without being registered with the state they really dont care cause there aint much they can do that doesnt wind up being a waste of time.... been doing a hell of a job with the meth cookers but the county attorney keeps dropping the [bleep] ball

Meth mentioned here makes me think of the "Breaking Bad" show. Watched maybe 3 episodes and not sure what the message is. Is that mild mannered teacher-meth/cooker that turns Hulk now and then suppose to be a hero or what? Not the TV role model I watched as a kid.

boils down to i dont care if an individual uses meth.....problem is if your cooking it, especially in town, you endanger those on property that aint yours......the fumes are toxic and if the [bleep] blows good chance you will set the neighbors house on fire.....if your cooking that chit you aint just endangering yourself and those on your property.....

WOD continues to be the first big breach into our civil liberties. It was at best a psychopathic idea, that the people would accept a war on themselves by an increasingly brutal, unaccountable authority, to cleanse them of an evil this very authority has deliberately placed in their midst. The blueprint of WOD has been expanded upon up by the WOT. WOT has brought us the TSA. Now we have demented thugs sexually molesting Americans before we can fly on a plane. The end game in all this obvious, it is to be dominated by a psychologically deviant government class for their own profit and pleasure.

"war" on drugss?...that is a joke. Glad we weren't as inept in the wars that mattered...

Alan That right there is disgusting and a shame. School kids into drugs...what % of the parents are aware of their kids using? I don't ever remember one single parent thanking me when I called them to tell them that Johnny or Susie was high or had been caught with Dope. They were always pissed at me. I had one throw up his hands and exclaim that, "It was only trace amounts of Cocaine". They would withdraw their kids from school so they wouldn't have to serve their punishments. One dad told me, "that was my dope". Another time a girl got pissed at her dad because he had found her stash and had smoked it all with some of his friends. I don't know what percentage of parents know their kids do drugs but it is probably higher than you'd imagine and less than I would. Alan

The war on drugs wasn't meant to be won. It was meant to empower government and drain the economy. What people choose to put in their bodies is their own business, and they should be free from legal liability until they actually harm or overtly endanger others. The only function the war on drugs serves is to support a gigantic illegal drug industry, and keep the dirty money flowing into the coffers of the CIA, crooked cops, and corrupt public officials, and to constantly expand, militarize, and centralize, police powers while contracting personal liberty. Plus one, and the above is so blatantly obvious it shouldn't even need saying. Supposedly free people being imprisoned for something they do to their own HEAD. Makes me want to puke. That said there's some seriously nasty chit out there; that also obvious. Like tequila.

Those crack heads and tweekers are breaking into houses and commiting other crimes which the rest of pay for. I say build more prisons and throw away the keys.
