The War on Drugs is Fucking Retarded.

If you think the 'war on drugs' is a good idea, then you're fucking retarded. Or you could be corrupt; pretending that the war on drugs is a good idea for financial or political gain.

What is suspiciously absent from the short video news story above is how having a bag of shit in your pants is considered reasonable justification for such an unreasonably rigorous law enforcement encounter. This is a direct consequence of  the 'War on Drugs'. This retard's bag of shit could have been a bag of some good shit that gets you retarded. Lets hire some retards to beat the shit out of him. And where is the dashboard camera footage of this alleged battle of the minds?

I think the cop was on to something when he made the bold statement: "I'm not a doctor!"

Doctors are what we need to solve heath problems, not police. Substance abuse is a health problem, not a crime. We don't send alcoholics to jail or arrest people for nicotine possession. We should be sending junkies to doctors. And just like booze, cigarettes or prescription pills, responsible adult consumers will be sent to regulated and taxed businesses, operating violence free with the benefit of contracts, property rights, and the rule of law.

God Hates Fags Who Take Bong Hits 4 Jesus While Drinking Their Juice in the Hood

According to recent rulings of the US Supreme Court, a sign reading "Thank God for dead soldiers" at a military funeral is protected speech, but a sign reading "Bong hits 4 Jesus" on private property is not. (read about each case here) (and here)

If you are unable to detect the slightest bit of hypocrisy at this point, return to the top of the previous sentence and meet me back here in few seconds. Repeat if necessary.

Isn't the aversion to this ridiculous double standard the reason why we protect all speech in the first place? Why did the court find that God's rights to hate fags are superior to Jesus's right to inhale? What could be the source of such obvious hypocrisy?

The first usual suspect would be religion, an endless goldmine for logically inconsistent thought. But both phrases contain some reference to religion, and religion was not the legal justification cited in the courts written opinion. The Military might be another source of the problem, they have been known to bend the rules from time to time. But the court ignored the dignity of the individual fallen soldiers to honor the integrity of the rights that they allegedly died to protect. If not by the power of God, and not by coercion from the military, then why no protection for "Bong hits 4 Jesus"?

The answer is the War on Drugs. The court ruled in 2007 that the word "bong" might encourage marijuana use. The great threat of marijuana was enough justification for an 18 year old man to be censored and disciplined by a government employee that happened to be near by during his display of words. As if one more display of the word "bong" is going to make marijuana into a billion dollar industry with tens of millions of Americans that use it regularly.

From random DUI roadblocks, to no-knock search warrants, to the DEA trespassing to attach GPS tracking devices on cars with no warrant at all, the war on drugs has been pissing away the fourth amendment rights of Americans for decades. We no longer have any expectation of privacy. Just ask the TSA.

Now the war on drugs is coming for your first amendment rights. Speech that mentions a device that might be used for something illegal is too dangerous for the eyes of the public, but armed paramilitary drug-troopers storming in to a house with guns drawn is safe for the public. The word bong is bad, but hundreds of billions of dollars to put non violent peolpe in prison is good. And lets not forget that due process and property rights have been subverted through the asset forfeiture racket. If the police claim you are dealing drugs, then the police can steal your property and the burden of proof is on you to show how you purchased your property. In the war on drugs, you are guilty until proven innocent.

Its a good thing we have the freedom to speak out against such injustices, and we are lucky to have American men and women brave enough to be killed in action while protecting that right. Thank god for dead soldiers.

Either Criminalize Beer, Legalize All Drugs, or Shut the Fuck Up.

The “War on Drugs” has been a fraud from day one. Hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars have been spent to perpetuate a system that fosters violence and favors organized crime while substance abuse is criminalized instead of treated.

Prohibition was found to be incompatible with a free society nearly a century ago, and every argument to continue the failed policy could also be made for the prohibition of alcohol, a perfectly legal and often celebrated substance.

Either criminalize beer, legalize all drugs, or shut the fuck up.
