It's About Time

The drug war has failed miserably and I think this is partly due to the fact that so much focus has been put on this sacred herb. This plant has miraculous healing properties that we are just beginning to rediscover. I say rediscover because ancient have had this knowledge for thousands of years. Marijuana was found cited copiously in Chinese Health books and was used to treat a wide variety of illnesses and ailments. The ancient hindus used it as well for medicinal and ritual uses.

I would say that the thought that people will not want to try harder drugs within 30-50 years is an idealistic viewpoint, mainly because the drug culture will not go away so easily, as a 28 year old under this plan I could obtain any number of hard drugs and then sell them at a premium to all the minors that have already been brought up in the current enviroment. That would just have to continue to keep the "culture" going.

I'm still for legalization of marijuana though :p

A FEW MORE NOTES

As a number of folks seem to agree with my solution to the drug problem, I am going to point out a couple other details with regard to my 3-point plan to hopefully convince a few others…

This plan would completely end new drug addiction problems with regard to any harder drugs… with the drugs being easily accessible, but regulated, there will no longer be any illicit drug dealers. There will no longer be any way for children to get their hands on these things. When they do turn 18 or 21, how many people do you honestly think are going to march into a drug clinic, plop down $30 and say, “Yes, I’d like to try some heroin please, I’d like to destroy my entire life,”? No one, that’s how many.

Within 30-50 years, there will probably be so little business for these hard drug clinics, that it will be a struggle to even keep them open. Honestly, who is going to go except for those already addicted? And if the addicted are going here, who will be left to sell to on the street? No one. And so, no one having it except in the clinics means… no peer pressure to try stuff, no drunk kids saying, “Sure, give me a hit. I’ll try it.” And no new addicts being created…

With the other visionary plants, it will be the same situation for the most part… it just won’t be available on the street anymore. Sure, some folks WILL go to try these from the licensed guide, etc… but again, they won’t be on the street, they will be in a reasonably safe situation, and the public will be safe, as well. And, not being addictive and possibly even somewhat beneficial, who cares if anyone experiences these so long as it’s safe and controlled?

The biggest problem with reform is it is basicly another case of lobbyists vs. common sense. Drug users don’t really have a lobby, as only the drug dealers have the bucks to make such an effort… and there is no way the cartels/dealers want this stuff legalized. Prison guards, etc. fear for job cuts. The DEA fears elimination. What needs to happen is the prison guards need to be training to be the clinic workers and the Drug Enforcement Administration needs to be converted into the Drug Education Administration…

And one last thought on the simplicity of this legislation… all Congress needs to do is divide Schedule I drugs into Schedule Ia (chemicals, highly addictive) and Ib (visionary, natural plants). Then instead of prohibiting them, make Schedule Ia available through the new government clinics. And provide for a licensed method of administration for Schedule Ib… and, of course, unscheduled marijuana.

No action on the part of the states will even need to be necessary for the most part: most states’ drug laws specifically exempt any use that is approved by the federal government…
