“[T]ake the war on drugs. The average American says, "The war on drugs has been beneficial." The rest of us see reality. This war has destroyed thousands of Americans. It is also a pretext for government agents to rob innocent people in airports and on the highways - they seize and confiscate large amounts of cash and say to their victims: "Sue us if you don't like it." And more and more judges, politicians, intelligence agents, and law-enforcement officers are on the take - as dependent on the drug-war largess as the drug lords themselves.” PeopleIfsHas BeensWarRealityGovernmentLawLordJudgingAmountPoliticianDrugVictimAverageInnocentDestroyedAgentsDependentOfficersCashLaw EnforcementEnforcementHighwaysAirportsBeneficialWar On DrugsPretext Author:Jacob G.

If drug users or drug addicts wish to get help, a free society provides the means to do so.” PeopleIfsWantMeanMatterHelpingGovernmentLawIndividualWishDrugDestructiveUsersAddictFree SocietyDrug AddictIndividual FreedomDrug Laws Author:Jacob G.

“There's the old saying that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. There are few better places to apply that adage than the drug war. It's time to end it. It's time to restore peace and harmony to Latin America and the United States. It's time to end the failed war on drugs. It's time to legalize drugs.” DifferentWarEndsStatesAmericaUnitedResultsUnited StatesDrugHarmonyDefinitionsInsanityLatinExpectingBetter PlaceAdagesLatin AmericaWar On DrugsOld SayingPeace And HarmonyDefinition Of Insanity Author:Jacob G.
