Drugs shouldn't be legalized until there's a world wide Marxist government, duh

We're holding countless minorities hostage until class war is over; by the way, identity politics destroyed the democrats.

drugs have already been commodified that's not even in the cards

what is the natural thing that happens when a market grows, which would happen under legalization? growth of commodities like drugs explicitly involves imperialistic exploitation of resources in the third world, it will only grow

yall have a very myopic view, and when legalization happens you all are gonna shift to the next single issue and gasp when the inevitable atrocities and injustices occur abroad

or youll just not give a poo poo, and sit on your high horse smokin a big one, sayin, gently caress you got mine

So do you think I should be in a cage for smoking the icky sticky or no? Stop being so loving cryptic.

umm so youre saying that weed, as an industry, didn't grow from legalization in CO and others?

Industry growth is not the same thing as percentage of people who use drugs.

no dude come on

you think a person having a meltdown about the implications of knee-jerk legalization without thoughtful regulation or further legislation actually wants to maintain the status quo? legalize everything imo but we have to be conscious of the ramifications of legalization and we have to address all the issues that cause mass incarceration

obviously but industry growth = more exploitation of workers

and by exploitation of workers, I mean when drug cartels and other organizations, get more money and grow their operations, they'll keep getting more literal slaves in horrible working conditions to grow said coca or opium

like drat look at something as innocuous as oil. Shell turned the Niger Delta into a post-apocalyptic hellscape marked by child slavery, abysmal working conditions, et al

Innocuous as oil?

Drug legalization is not the same thing as exploiting non renewable resources, in any sense.

You don't have to tell me what oil companies do to the environment. I've witnessed first hand what oil companies did to my country's forests, look at Yasun�.

Im still a firm believer that legalizing drugs in the US will be a good thing. The faster we do it the better.

Legalizing all drugs is a debate to have after weed is legal, right now it's more important to focus on the harmless drug that's physically harmless and is already accepted in society, after we do that, assuming it goes well, people will be much more open to hearing out the arguments for total decriminalization/legalization.

the only way to force a top down assault on society is a societal collapse that involves over half of the population dying, not civilizations and societies where everything happens gradually by nature

as a democrat socialist i believe there are realistic goals, and there are deprogramming efforts that will take generations or societal collapse

"eat the rich" is a realistic goal
