And unfortunately the masses keep falling for it. Look how effectively they are currently destroying our privacy using fear. I hear people all over the news saying; "I don't mind them monitoring my every word and move if it makes me safer". Game over.
Yup. That's it. Time to move. You know a US Army manual was leaked that details the operation of internment and reeducation camps in America. For Americans. Using social security numbers for processing.
Like most people I don't like smoking in restaurants and most public places or in my home and I'd feel the same about weed smoke also.
Taxing drugs would mean less money going to special interest groups (law enforcement, military, etc.) but it would be a net positive for government balance sheets. This train has left the station. States are broke and Marijuana legalization is a done a deal.
Why do some people use drugs ? Let them ruin their health. Why should anyone else care ? Health care systems should deny those sort of people any treatment on self inflicted problems. Save a lot of money.
