Drug War Stories: Fake News King Reports UN continuing with Inhuman Pro Drug War Narratives
The Clearly Not News Network's Joshua Berlinger reports on May 22, 2018. The article opens with a pic supposedly from the Thai Royal Navy from January of some pink meth that was confiscated, helping to increase street prices and thus incentives for people to fill the vacancy chain and thus deal drugs for money.
The article goes on to discuss the region and the golden triangle which trafficked a lot of opium and heroin and thanks to the inherently failed drug war to utilize coercion to turn people into my desirable people of central planners the entrepreneurs have diversified into meth. The UN office estimates the regions drug trade for heroin and meth at $40 billion so thats a lot of money to create a criminal class and give authoritarians an invisible un winnable enemy to puppet around to try to get more civilian support for the failed drug civil war attacking users and sellers for victimless conduct.
CNN reports the UNODC to have seized more meth so far this year than 2017 combined so they are doing their part to incentivize people to sell these substances and risk criminal penalties. Apparently 1.2 metric tonnes of meth was seized in Austrailia in December. It is very suspect that these drug wars continue despite the fact they have failed to keep us safe.
drugs , not always very good for you
yea, very said people want to continue the failed war on drugs rather than let people make the hard decisions in their own lives

sounds commie to me
Drug wars are not to keep you safe, they are to keep drug company profits safe.
and the prisons full and many off the voter rolls
in that order.
As a healthy "on-the-ground" counterpoint, though, I will say that the meth problem here in Asia IS CERTAINLY out of control. However, I agree that the larger contributing factors lie at the "international development" level. The GROSS corruption and growing divide between the "haves" and "have-nots" out here is DISGUSTING, and not made much better by the aloof, highly overpaid, McEducated bureaucrats, and their liberal, unpragmatic attempts to make the NECESSARY changes in this region of the world. Just look at the current situation in Cambodia to get a good glimpse of "development gone wild"...
Yea i just think government has failed to make drugs illegal. Why not just let them be legal and try to encourage people to make better decisions?
