        The war on drugs was never s war of substance. It was a war on race and class. The wealthy looking to hammer the poor.

        Evidenced by the disparity in crack posession vs powdered cocaine sentences, which I believe was changed under Obama.

        Given that the real purpose of the so-called #warondrugs was to disempower black people by putting them in jail, wasn't it a ridiculously tragic success? #13th @ava

        It's pretty hard to shut off the supply when our own Army is guarding opium fields for Big Pharma, and the latter return the favor by flooding West Virginia with free samples.

        The disparity in stops, arrested, and convictions compared to use tells the story.

        It’s a war on people and every President has tried to score political point with this war or a variant of it. "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

        Nixon also gave us healthcare for profit by allowing HMO's. What a shitty guy who happened to be President! Sounds familiar.

        90% percent of the world’s consumption of illegal drugs takes place in developed/industrialised countries... Why does your lives are so vacant of meaning that you need to evade reality?!
