i see certain justification behind your comments
dropped but i want to highlight the fact that i think its fair to say that only certain drugs are heavily or even remotely related to crime.
yes its all good for the police to be busting the big time drug dealers through this site, but from what ive observed, they're not really. they aren't getting any of the stereotypical large internation drug rings (note the rumour of the man in chinatown hiring ex-red army soldiers to run his drug cartel - dont quote me i dont know how much truth there is to it). instead they are most likely busting the trustworthy, friendly and aside from this issue law-abiding, people who don't 'deal' (once again in the stereotypical image of a 'Drug Dealer') but supply to friends and acquaintances pills and powder which is generally produced safely and correctly. these people are considered mates, and they aren't dirty money making scum, they provide for the growing community of people who use recreational drugs on the weekend to get away from the ever strenuous society and they're possibly mind numbing jobs.
explain the step forward involved if the police bust a person mentioned above, and therefore force others who relied on that person to venture into the hands of the man from chinatown who *is* running the stereotypical drug cartel, selling dirty and dangerous products in a hellbent money making scheme?
chances are there will be more injuries related to drug-use, more crime related to the deals, and more media propaganda.
i agree that some of these laws need to be put in place for the benefit of society as a whole. but they need to be redefined and people need to be properly educated. as i said before, the law-makers need to learn themselves about the drugs, and make a more specific decision on what is right or wrong, legal or illegal.
/vents steam.
it shits me!!
the fact that its taken many centuries for the world to realise that war is disastrous and has tremendous repercussions, leads me to believe there's no light in the near future for person drug use.
