It seems that the publicly funded propaganda tool known as the “Office of National Drug Control Policy” has issued its “strategy” to deal with the drug problem here in the United States. Of course there is nothing new or novel to what the Obama Administration thinks we should be doing about drugs here in the United States.
I quote: “We have many proven methods for reducing the demand for drugs. Keeping drugs illegal reduces their availability and lessens willingness to use them. That is why this Administration firmly opposes the legalization of marijuana or any other illicit drug. Legalizing drugs would increase accessibility and encourage promotion and acceptance of use. Diagnostic, laboratory, clinical, and epidemiological studies clearly indicate that marijuana use is associated with dependence, respiratory and mental illness, poor motor performance, and cognitive impairment, among other negative effects, and legalization would only exacerbate these problems.”
In other words: nothing is going to change.
Even if you oppose ending the so called “War on Drugs” …. surely you can understand this train-of-thought:
1) President Obama has admitted to marijuana and cocaine use/abuse.
2) Were he caught, prosecuted, and convicted like so many unfortunate black men (disproportionately) are in this country… he’d be a felon.
3) If he had been labeled a felon he never would been have admitted to the BAR.
4) If he had been labeled a felon he never would have been elected to the Illinois State Senate. You’d better believe his opponents would have knocked him out of the election for being a “criminal.”
5) If he had not been elected to the Illinois State Senate he would not have been able to win an election to the United States Senate.
6) If he had not been elected to the United States Senate……….. he never would have had a chance in hell at becoming President.
President Obama is just fine and dandy with allowing people to continue to be ruined because of drug use and abuse when he did the same exact thing. Although I personally disagree with %95+ of his actions as President, I am glad that he never fell victim to the system he is allowing to continue to screw people over.
Kids and young adults experiment with drugs…. this is a fact of life. Why does the government need to ruin so many of their lives because of it?
Read the bullshit propaganda (that your tax dollars funded) for yourself here.
