Drugs are bad…mkay?

Since the 1900’s drugs have progessivley become a very large debate. On one side you have those who do not think drugs are te enemy, then on the othe side you have the ones that think drugs are evil and should be banned. And the ones that believe drugs are as evil as the media says they are, thats fine. But instead of targetting all drugs, its usually just ones such as weed, cocain, crack, and other recreational drugs. They never bring up the fact that caffeine, the most widley used drug, nicotine, and alchohol are just as bad. Smoking and drinking kills more people than weed does in a year. And those two plus caffeine are some of the most powerfully addicting drugs on the planet.

I can understand the desire to rid the world of drugs, but the fact is that its impossible. Drugs have been here since the beggining of time in one form or another, and will always be here. Be it natural or un-natural forms, drugs will always be open to those that desire them.

I know there are many groups that are against tobacco and alchohol, but im not gearing my arguement towards them. My problem is not with them.  My problem however, lies with the corporations that are against weed and other drugs but never once talk about tobacco or alchohol. Reason being is because they know that not only are these substances money making for them but if weed were legal the would lose more of it than they are making.

Weed in itself is one of the governments best idea when it comes to making money. There are thousands of prison systems across the country and together there are millions of prisoners, These places are over crowding and there is serious need of more. Understand that there are millionof prisoners, and there is not enough room for all of them.

Here is a kicker though. Each system makes roughly 500 dollars a day from each inmate. The government would like to say that they pay 50 dollars a day for each inmate, but this is a 450 dollar profit, daily, for just one person. So now its not that pot is something the government wants to get rid of, it has just become an easy way to make money. Wh

People complain about murders getting out of prison, while a small time drug dealer gets seven years. I heard from a friend that was incarserated with a 2nd offense child offender. He only got 4 months and he raped a 2 year old girl, but we have a guys in prison for years for selling pot.

The fact is it takes money to put a man a trial for murders or rapes, or other serious offenses, but it only takes five muinutes in court to convict a drug offender.

I dont mind when someone tries to talk about the flaws of drug use. But using information given to you by a commercial or from some kind of government funded organization will get people no where.
