You're wrong. You have no idea how wrong you are. 100% of the CEOs of my division have coke and H problems. I know, because I've SEEN it. One of them has done coke for at least the 20 years I've known him. This isn't a ringing endorsement for drugs. I'm not a fan. However, you're ignorant. ETA: This isn't meant to be an insult. Most people who aren't exposed to drugs have no idea how prolific they are on the street, let alone in big business offices. View Quote Given time - there are no victimless Heroin users. Period. So now you can go tell other people how they are ignorant and a little H won’t cause them any harm. |

So even in the face of demonstrable failure, with plenty of historical data to exemplify WHY you're failing, you latch on still. Since you seem to take offense to the freedom argument, you surely can acknowledge the fact your war has completely failed and is a financial boondoggle that's done nothing but expand the government?

You would be the ignorant one my friend. I have seen Heroin up close and personal. I have watched it destroy countless young lives. Stories are all the same - kids have a sports injury, get a bottle of Percocet. Like the Percocet. Score more until their tolerance builds up to where percs and dormin doesn’t cut it any more. Then they switch to heroin because they can’t afford Percocets anymore. I have brought my son back from death through cpr. If you think there are functional Heroin users then you my friend just did a button yourself Given time - there are no victimless Heroin users. Period. So now you can go tell other people how they are ignorant and a little H won’t cause them any harm. View Quote Demonstrably. I do find your instance about anything being universally true very humorous, though. So just so we're clear, you have anecdotal evidence, so you're right. But my anecdotal evidence is wrong because of... reasons? But hey, if you say that 100% of examples support you, then you must be right. Afterall, insistence that 100% of anything happens a certain way isn't silly at all, right? |

I’m pretty sure by your views that you are a drug user....... View Quote But hey, if either of us wanted to, we could pay a 9 year old kid to pick up some on any downtown street corner. That's how effective your stupid viewpoint on drugs is. But hey, like the post above said, let's wait a few more decades. Out of curiosity, could you guys give a deadline so we can figure out if it's working? You know, just keep things on the level? Will we know if prohibition has worked by 2100, for instance? |

Eh. It's different, but by far not even close to the worst thing they have done on camera. Cutting a guys stomach open and pulling his guts out while he is still alive tops this. I think they skinned some girl alive in another video. Was years ago, though. Maybe just her face... View Quote |

Why do you believe they're doing what the do? And how do you believe they will support their literal armies losing 96% of their revenue stream (and the other 4% will be hard to maintain?) Do you seriously believe when they lose their illegal drug revenue, they will say "Ok, then lets go around murdering people for no reason what-so-ever, and hopefully our soldiers will be OK without being paid?" They couldn't extort enough money to survive without drug revenue. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
Once illicit drugs are legalized here in Estados Unidos, the mexican cartels will dispose of the chainsaws, axes, and sharp knives they previously used to horrifically torture and murder the competition AND innocent bystanders with. At that point, the now-upright cartel businessmen will then aspire to wear three piece designer suits and adopt the U.S. pharmaceutical drug business model. Everything will be fine!

Quoted:
They're doing it to send a message. To other cartels, police, military, civilians. The message is dont cross us. I suppose they're probably fighting for territory/drug routes to sell their products. If drugs became legal, they'd probably take their money and build legit pharm production facilities. I'd imagine from there they'd settle some disputes in whatever legal systems they have down there, but would probably still butcher each other to resolve issues if the situation called for it.

Quoted:
There are more than 2 sides to the illicit narcotics business. There are many sides. Banks Gov't, to include foreign services, internal anti-drug police Foreign governments Money launderers Kingpins Smugglers/distribution network Refiners Growers Local peddlers Customers The banks certainly don't want legalization, because they already have a low-cost network of retards who are willing to: Consume, grow, refine, smuggle, manage, money-launder, use as off-books revenue generation for foreign activities, and distribute without any W-2s, no worker's comp, no paid vacations, no healthcare plans, no OSHA, while they can literally get caught for being involved in the trade and pay a small fine in the unlikely event that a brave prosecutor survives and is able to get traction with a case. The foreign kingpins are not in control of the drug trade, and can be wiped out if they ever go off the reservation or don't play ball. They are expendable, just like everyone else downstream, with the customers being the most expendable point of the whole scheme. The people who listened to their outhouse economist/lawyer argument for legalization need to stop consuming the product, get clean for a little bit, and think about who actually controls the drug industry. Legalization would crush profitability for banks, collapse many economies around the world, and destabilize existing financial networks, while pulling smuggling networks from the intelligence services of every G-20 nation. Good luck! View Quote |

Quoted:
The US has never recovered from Prohibition. Prohibition created complicit city councils, Senators, Congressmen, Governors, and police departments in the illicit trade, corrupting whatever wasn't corrupted already almost overnight. We are still dealing with the continual residual effects of prohibition in our society, many of which embraced the illicit narcotics trade. Look at any major US city, for example. Corruption is endemic to the system, and provided the financing for the profiteers to buy off government decades ago. View Quote |
