	New Anti-Drug Ad Admits Complicity in Terrorism Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Well...almost...

The series of anti-drug ads portraying two guys sitting around talking about drug money and terrorism has ventured into new territory. In the ads, one guy continually seeks to rationalise drug use inspite of the alleged connection to the funding of terrorism while his buddy keeps shooting down his arguments. So now the first guy says, "change the law" - i.e., legalise drugs. And his buddy's response? So, you want heroin and cocaine sold at the local mini-mart? To which the first guy says that may not be such a good idea.

Apparently it's a better idea to have cocaine and heroin sold on innumerable street corners by pushers and heavily armed gangs. Apparently it's better to create a massive black market in drugs with the accompanying violence not seen since the days of alcohol prohibition. Apparently it's better to provide job opportunites for youngsters in the drug trade while juvenile crime continues to skyrocket continuing the trend from the mid 80's when the drug war pushers so wisely began increasing penalties for adults involved with dealing drugs.

But what the new ad doesn't spell out, although the implication is clear to anyone with a functioning brain, is that the drug war pushers have almost admitted the pact they've made with the devil - to prevent cocaine and heroin being sold at the mini-mart, they've decided to create a black market in drugs resulting in the possible funding of terrorism. In other words, they'd rather create a funding mechanism for terrorists than have drugs sold at the mini-mart even though the drugs are being sold on the streets anyway. What's worse? That these hypcrites think we're too stupid to see what they've done or that millions of Americans are as stupid as they think?

I dont like cigarette ads are either. They're biased. They try to make choices for you instead of presenting "the truth" as they call their retarded campaign.

But oh well its negated by the false image of cigarette being cool and all that so both propaganda on each side neatly cancels it out

That was the reason Bill Maher gave for giving up cigarettes - sexual virility. But if I could afford an ad, I'd put up this simple graph:

And end the commercial with: the drug war has doubled the homicide rate, do you feel safer now?

Your reasoning is quite faulty Berzerker. The supporters of the "war on drugs" haven't admitted to deciding to create a black market for drugs at all. It's the people who prey on human misery who have done that. The people who support the "war on drugs" would like to eliminate both the use of illegal substances and the black market.

But they did create the black market, that's what banning popular products always does.

Strangelove -

quote: Your reasoning is quite faulty Berzerker. The supporters of the "war on drugs" haven't admitted to deciding to create a black market for drugs at all.

By outlawing drugs, a massive black market has been created. That black market would not exist if not for the drug laws, therefore, the people who made the laws created the black market. Whether or not they have the honesty to admit that is another matter...

quote: It's the people who prey on human misery who have done that.

You have that backwards, no one would sell drugs if no one bought drugs. And if no one sold drugs, many people who want to use them would still do so even if they had to produce the drugs themselves. Btw, when I bought drugs from friends, I was not in misery and they were not preying upon me, so please don't lie about others. We don't see a massive black market in tobacco and alcohol because they are legal, so how can you accuse the dealers of other drugs of creating a black market that would not exist if those drugs were legal? If drugs were legal, there would be two participants - the dealer and the buyer. But enter a third party - the drug war pusher - who outlaws the drugs, and the black market is created. It takes a drug war pusher prone to delusion or deceit to conclude the act of outlawing drugs had nothing to do with the resulting black market.

quote: The people who support the "war on drugs" would like to eliminate both the use of illegal substances and the black market.

Strangelove, what the drug war pushers want or would like - the fantasy you propose - and what they've done - the reality - are two different things. Y'all haven't eliminated (or even reduced) drug use, you've created a black market and alot of violence. Trying to blame others for the disastrous results of the drug war is ridiculous...

Well we are seeing a growth in black market for tobacco because of increase in tax. Soon its gonna be like China!

Since it's become more or less "socially acceptable" to resort to certain drugs (ie: marihuana), neither a drug war nor an educational campaign will totally erradicate drug use, sadly.

Still, as always, "stupid people have the right to screw up", like even a certain close relative of mine, I must admit.....so go ahead and legalize, if you want (in a rational and gradual manner of course).

It won't solve all the problems, nor will the drug mafias simply disappear into thin air/overnight, but it should temporarily stop all this fuss, at least at the public level...

If alcohol were invented in a lab today it would be baned imediatly. But since it is "The age old elixer of the God's" it is not.

Alcohol has casued more health and social problems than the "Evil" MaryJwanna ever has.

Legalize drugs but let employers refuse to hire those who use them. You will save a lot of money that way.

True, and I heard one ring busted since 9/11 was involved with funding terrorism, oh the irony.

Yup, that's just one free market mechanism to reduce drug use.
Prohibition doesn't, that's the reality many drug war pushers ignore AND deny. We get their friggin war, the increased violence and crime, the increased taxes, and we get nothing in return.
