Does being an addict make one prone to favor vast wars of conquest?

It would give you an insight on what it's like to be addicted to something that you can't stop doing. You might find out how Hellish it is, when you rob a convenience store, or shoot someone because they stole your drugs.

Maybe if we took the profit margin away then there wouldn’t be a market for the drugs and the system South of our border would collapse?

Addiction is awful therefore we should set up an empire in Central America so as to get the cannon fodder we need to invade South America? I mean if it's really that awful how can we take nukes off the table?

Are you talking about the legalization of recreational drug use / production?

Crime will skyrocket.

Imagine how well the African American community would benefit, if their young had no means to attain drugs.

...Yea, I said it because it's true, even if I'm not supposed to.

Imagine how the prisons would empty, and homelessness would decrease.

Just like it did after the end of alcohol prohibition...

All we need do is lock the entire country down tighter than a maximum security prison.

Nobody is saying that. I'm talking about precision airstrikes. The only ones who will die, are the devils that poison children, and terrorize their countrymen.

You mentioned drugs not being available. They are currently available in every maximum security prison in the country so logically we will need to lock the country down harder to achieve that goal.

Where does all the canon fodder we are invading the triangle to get come in?

Seriously, why do they get a free pass to kill without consequence?

Those poor prisoners... It's not their fault the drug lords hooked them on their poison.

I truly believe the fault lies 100% on the drug cartels, because they know very well what their product does to people... It hooks them in an inescapable purchasing cycle against their natural will... That's evil.

Uh-huh. Granted this Cato Institute report is a dozen years old, but crime won’t skyrocket.

Ok, so on we go with locking down the country to super max conditions.

Decriminalization does work, and I'm all for it. I am, however, opposed to "legalization", which entails the production of and the selling of crack, heroin and PCP at stores legally.

...No country in the world does that, that I'm aware of.

No decriminalize drugs. At the same time bomb all the manufacturing sites with rockets and missiles.

...Why shouldn't we?

...It's a perfect plan that hurts nobody. It only makes people happy.

Wait, what happened to them becoming unavailable to black folks?

Landon Caeli said:

Because we are uniquely bad at intervening and getting the outcome we want, among many others.

If by perfect you mean disastrous, I agree.

Let's go ahead and end the drug problem here and see what happens there.

Depends on what you mean by "end the drug problem".

If you're referring to locking people up for non-violent drug possession and usage, then that'll be a hard pass for me.
(especially in the case of marijuana, which is relatively benign and no more harmful than alcohol which remains completely legal)

The "War on Drugs" has always been an abysmal failure, and drugs aren't any less available than they were before.

Maybe the government should start with baby steps first when it comes to attempting to block problematic behavior.

For a warm-up round, perhaps they can prove to me they're capable of stopping unsolicited telemarketing calls and scam texts from coming to my phone at 2am.

Then they can move to shutting down illegal/underage inappropriate contentography on the internet.

If they demonstrate that they can effectively accomplish those two tasks, then maybe I'll believe they can concoct at cogent plan for addressing certain drug-related issues which are much more complex than the other two things I mentioned.

You do know the difference between Decriminalization and legalization, right? Decriminalization prevents blacks from going to jail on drug charges, but does not legalize the sales of drugs at stores.

That, with a combined military style bombing brigade, would make two whole continents ready for a great jubilee! Especially if the NA and SA governments get in on it together.

Your earlier post postulated over how well the black community would do if they had no access to drugs. No mention was made of drug decimalization.

LOL

And they will sing our praises, in English!

Do you think it's a bad idea for the US military, to bomb cartel run sites with missiles, as if they were terrorist cells?

Gangs would have little reason to exist in many countries if we rob them of their lifeblood.

It would improve the lives of thousands of asylum seekers.
