o Drug Policy

Mexico is under siege by drug cartels, the drug war is at our doorstep. It can no longer go unsolved.

Many drugs such as caffeine, alcohol, barbiturates and nicotine are already legal. The reason drugs are outlawed is arbitrary. Its not a matter of a substance being legal or illegal that makes it bad or good for someone. In what circumstances and in what quantities is a drug used?

The drug policy should focus on putting drug dealers out of business while at the same time reducing the demand for drug use. Policy has to be crafted to fight drugs on both on the supply side and demand side. The solution is to legalize drugs and then give the proceeds to a socially deplorable organizations like a white supremacy group and a terrorist organization. And to Ogilvy and Mather so they can run an anti-drug ad campaign. The legal drug money cannot go anywhere beneficial to society because that would make drug use socially acceptable, which is not the objective. Drugs would become cheap, readily available and have a shameful stigma attached to their use. If you buy drugs, you are a racist and terrorist. Social pressure should eliminate all but the hardest hard core abusers. Hence the problem is reduced to a minimum.

Maybe that is too radical of a solution. But addiction to me will continue whether drugs are legal or illegal. The money from legalized drugs can go toward health education, prevention and treatment.

Anyone that is pro-abortion and under a libertarian banner of freedom of choice should be pro-legalizing drugs.
