Insane Comments on Drug Legalization


Meth Now Being Disguised as Liquor

Afghan drug trafficking brings US $50 billion a year
80 per cent of the world’s drugs are produced in Afghanistan. 
Americans themselves admit that drugs are often transported out of Afghanistan on American planes. Drug trafficking in Afghanistan brings them about 50 billion dollars a year – which fully covers the expenses tied to keeping their troops there.

Not crazy enough for you?  

Hillary Clinton: Legalization not the answer to the drug war
"This is an ongoing debate," she said. "We are formulating our own response to the votes of two of our states as you know — what that means for the federal system, the federal laws and law enforcement."

Let's end the prescription drug death epidemic

Don't miss Dr. Sanjay Gupta's "Deadly Dose" documentary. 

(CNN) -- It's the biggest man-made epidemic in the United States. That's how a doctor in Washington state described it to me as we sat outside the state Capitol in Olympia.

He was talking about accidental death from prescription drug overdoses. The doctor, Gary Franklin, medical director for Washington state's Department of Labor and Industries, recounted terrifying case after case and told me it was the saddest thing he had ever seen.
I remember him telling me about a teenager dying because he had taken too much narcotic medication after a dental procedure.  READ MORE  (video)...   Prescription drug deaths: Two stories

CRY FOR HELP/RUSSELL BRAND BEFORE COMMONS SELECT COMMITTEE



"My problems have gotten worse. Now I am also dealing with health issues, and it is definite that I will be needing surgery some time in the next month or so. 
I was served an eviction notice yesterday and am facing that situation also.
I have zero income, no phone, no car, and soon no house. I am at a check mate position 
and just want to give up. I cant take this anymore."

Lost, alone and steps away from homeless, it is not enough of a deterrent.  (the fastest-growing group of homeless people in the United States is composed of single women with two or three children)  The characters change, the locations change, the substances change, yet it is the same stories told time and again.  "After Helen persuades him that "Don the writer" and "Don the drunk" are the same person, Don finally commits to writing his novel The Bottle, dedicated to Helen, which will recount the events of the weekend. He drops a cigarette into a glass of whiskey rather than drink it. He recalls that while packing for his lost weekend his mind was on a bottle suspended just outside his window, he ponders, over a reversal of the opening shot, how many other people in New York City are in the same position as he." 1945 The Lost Weekend

It seems simple when it was just The Bottle.  Now there is an excess from street drugs to pharmaceuticals.  With no end in sight of tortured addicted souls.  Growing are the professionals who make it all too easy:   Emergency room doctors at a Santa Barbara hospital saw a disturbing trend for more than a decade – patient after patient hooked on prescription drugs shared the same physician.   Dr. Julio Gabriel Diaz  "In addition, two women taken to a hospital emergency room indicated they were among numerous people who used sex to pay Diaz for narcotics, according to an affidavit filed in the case."
"Yes every medic and ER doc knows him. His nickname is Dr. Candy. Yes, every time I ran a call and found his name on the bottles, I documented it. As did Cottage hospital. We and they can only do so much and document so much. However, there is nothing more we could do but document and file complaints. For whatever reason, someone decided to take us seriously and take the next step. It is a shame it took so long."

The Bad Girls of New Castle

During the Victorian era, kids as young as eleven received adult sentences for minor crimes. Here's an assortment of children's mugshots taken in Newcastle, England during the early 1870s.

"Pep, The Cat-Murdering Dog" was a black Labrador Retriever admitted to Eastern State Penitentiary on August 12, 1924. Prison folklore tells us that Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot used his executive powers to sentence Pep to Life Without Parole for killing his wife's cherished cat. Prison records support this story: Pep's inmate number (C-2559) is skipped in prison intake logs and inmate records.

Victorian morality and Women in the Victorian era
Beginning in the late 1840s, major news organizations, clergymen and single women became increasingly concerned about prostitution, which came to be known as "The Great Social Evil." Although estimates of the number of prostitutes in London by the 1850s vary widely (in his landmark study, Prostitution, William Acton reported that the police estimated there were 8,600 in London alone in 1857), it is enough to say that the number of women working the streets became increasingly difficult to ignore. When the United Kingdom Census 1851socio-economic one. The 1851 census showed that the population of Great Britain was roughly 18 million; this meant that roughly 750,000 women would remain unmarried simply because there were not enough men. These women came to be referred to as "superfluous women" or "redundant women," and many essays were published discussing what, precisely, ought to be done with them.

There are more "axles to grind."  A well concealed thriving criminal element with connections to the DMV can produce or alter paperwork that is very convincing.

"Cocaine Cowboys"The film explores the rise of cocaine and resulting crime epidemic that swept the American city of Miami, Florida in the 1970s and 1980s. The producers of Cocaine Cowboys use interviews with law enforcement, journalists, lawyers, former drug smugglers and gang members to provide a first hand perspective of the Miami drug war.
Also documented in the film is
the gangland violence associated with the trade. The interviewees in the film argue that Griselda Blanco, an infamous crime family matriarch, played a major role in the history of the drug trade in Miami and other cities across America. It was the lawless and corrupt atmosphere, primarily from Blanco's operations, that led to the gangsters' being dubbed the "Cocaine Cowboys".
