RE: Why is war on drugs a losing war ?
Governments have an excuse to increase controls monitoring people, banks launder money from cartels, politicians get bribery, drug dealers can sell their product at higher prices as long as drugs are part of the black market. So, why would they end this bloody party?
The legalization and massive adoption are probably the lesser "evil". Then we will have a dependent society, so governments will be able to put whatever price they want, then we will have a black market for modified and lower quality drugs.
I think this problem can't be fixed without considering how the society is defined. As long as inequality is accepted as normal, we will still have the same violence, abuse, poverty, ignorance, etc.
Firstly thank you for your reply and about your opinion I respect it very much but drugs are the source of many issues in society, drugs destroy families, displace children and push people to steal or even kill to buy more or to sell more .
and society is breaking with that apart no matter how much profit the drugs bring.
But I think there is reason why this harmful plant in nature it's seems like a test or something like that, who know.
I think that as long as drugs are scarce and expensive, people will be more into it. If the are abundant and available, people will treat it as other vicious products like alcohol, cigarettes. But if they do that they won't be a business as they are right now. About a century ago alcohol was illegal and the black market of it was violent. People need access to health, education, food, once the basics are covered the need for finding a relief with drugs will go away. But that society is far away to be true yet. We need to awake.
I was watching this video today. Worth it 120%.
Good reply.
