dea speaks out against drug legalization
"Ninety-five percent of Americans do not use drugs"
What percentage of americans drink?
Would we give up on education or poverty simply because we haven??t eliminated all problems?
Who is fighting poverty? War on poverty? I never anyone say that. Thats a war i am down for
Fact 7: Crime, violence, and drug use go hand-in-hand.
Crime, violence and drug use go hand in hand. Six times as many homicides are committed by people under the influence of drugs, as by those who are looking for money to buy drugs. Most drug crimes aren??t committed by people trying to pay for drugs; they??re committed by people on drugs.
The thing they arent mentioning: most murders are drunk. Booze is a drug when it suits them, its not a drug when it doesnt
Fact 4: Smoked marijuana is not scientifically approved medicine
Fact: yes it is
Fact 10: Most non-violent drug users get treatment, not jail time.
The Legalization Lobby claims that America??s prisons are filling up with users. Truth is, only about 5 percent of inmates in federal prison are there because of simple possession. Most drug criminals are in jail??even on possession charges??because they have plea-bargained down from major trafficking offences or more violent drug crimes
User dealer, doesnt matter to me. Most people in prison are there on non violent drug offences
The Legalization Lobby claims drugs are no more dangerous than alcohol. But drunk driving is one of the primary killers of Americans. Do we want our bus drivers, nurses, and airline pilots to be able to take drugs one evening, and operate freely at work the next day?
So a hangover is great. But a drug hangover is bad? Who pays the DEA? Budweiser?
Fact 9: Europe??s more liberal drug policies are not the right model for America.
The Legalization Lobby claims that the ??European Model? of the drug problem is successful. However, since legalization of marijuana in Holland, heroin addiction levels have tripled
What is left unsaid: Most addicts in holland and switzerland came from other nations. Herion use among the dutch and swiss people is the same as conservative nations
And Needle Park seems like a poor model for America
Yeah prisons are what america is all about
The Legalization Lobby claims that the United States has wasted billions of dollars in its anti-drug efforts. But for those kids saved from drug addiction, this is hardly wasted dollars.
Thanks for spending our tax dollars "saving" kids from weed
Who is really behind the war on some drugs. The beer companies. Most of those anti drug commercials are bought and paid for by companies like anheiser busch (sp). People drink less when they are high.
Its your right to smoke MJ. God gave you the right. Dont let a christain funded thought police tell you, you need to piss in a bottle to work at wendys.
