I agree with you. I follow the belief that drugs should be legalized. As long as others are not harmed what one decides to do with their body is their business. I have no argument with that.
My point is does the US Government agree? Is there a war on drugs or not?
The Taliban are there; 75% of the worlds Heroin supply is erradicated. The US destroys Taliban control of the country; now it is supplying 92% of the worlds Heroin. As stated above I dont care that poppy farmers are making a living producing someones buzz.
It's the level of simplicity it would be to stop this that seems apparent to me. I've been reading your posts Ustwo for quite some time. I know where you stand, or at least I have reached my own interpretation of where I think you stand. If it's not reported in the news, or possibly make some sort of logical sense why, then break out the tin foil hat. Or move the post to the paranoid section. How one connects the dots can be judged by their peers I suppose and thats why the paranoia section was created.
A practice I make every attempt to follow is researching multiple sources (not just the net), even traveling to see with my own eyes as I have done with Israel several times and other areas. Gather the data and look for common denominators.
Can you see any possibility or probability that there is any profit or gain to be made by anyone in the US direction by not going after the farmers. I know in the very same article I posted it states that insurgents are now using money from poppy production, but put on a scale, something is being outweighed here.
It's not like any members of the US Government have ever had involvement with the distribution of sustances classified as illegal.
