GET REAL ON DRUGS AND CRIME, TAKE CONTROL OF DISTRIBUTION
Build government housing for the people living on the street. Allow
access to the substances they are addicted to through
government-controlled outlets. This will reduce the demand for the
illicit drug trade and reduce crime and violence.
Drugs don't cause most of the violence and crime we are seeing, it is
the desperation of the users and territorial control by the
distributors. It will never go away unless you take the distribution
from the gangs and control it through legal means.
Why are we so afraid to move in this direction?
It cannot be any worse than what we've been doing. Our current drug
laws are a harmful and destructive failure, and an assault on our
freedom of consciousness. Mexico is on the verge of chaos due to drug
wars, and the chaos is spreading throughout North America.
End it now. Own up to the reality. Stop the introduction of mandatory
minimums for marijuana.
