RE: Drug War. Fear. Libertarians. #TimesUp
Well, unless drugs are legalized, possession alone, especially of "harder" drugs like coke or speed, does have victims, you just don't see them. It is almost guaranteed that someone, somewhere in the world was harmed, or killed, getting that drug to you. If you grow weed or mushrooms in your own closet, then yeah, true victimless crime. Anything which passes through many hands, there is a victim somewhere.
yup, all the money Hezbollah was allowed to make smuggling cocaine into the US by Obama was spent on weapons that no doubt were used to harm people.
That can be said for many of the commodities consumed by people in the First World. Even things that seem innocuous, such as coffee and chocolate can come to us on the backs of many people suffering toil and exploitation.
Definitely, no doubt about that. You are right, much blood has been spilled for coffee and sugar.
