Legalize All Drugs, or Else...

      Legalization of drugs is probably the only way with which we can preserve some of the sanity still left in this world.   The war on drugs is costing us over 100 billion dollars to fight each year, and we’re only fighting a monster which we are making bigger with each punch.   It’s not drugs, but drug laws themselves that have created this monster.   Drug use is part of human nature, but the unimaginable wealth involved leads to the corruption of the police, judges, and elected officials.   There is no reason to have the government regulating what goes into an individual’s body.   An extreme case of what we’re letting the government do is letting them take away our own self, an individual’s ownership over his own body.   I think it’s in everyone’s interest to legalize all drugs, since this war is going nowhere, letting the government get more powerful than it was ever meant to have been, and it’s putting numbers over our names.
