I got high this weekend and completely regret it

The primary goal of the U.S. Government is to stop illegal drug smuggling into the U.S., and their hard work has paid off. Most of the marijuana purchased in the U.S. is grown in the U.S.

They have been very successfull in cutting back the amount of imported narcotics, especially at our major sea ports like Port Everglades in South Florida.

Just because in your opinion it's a lost cause, doesn't mean they should stop. If they didn't try to stop as much as possible, we'd be a worse position. Because of their hard work and continue hard work, they've managed to clean up many neighborhoods and schools throughout this country. It's not a lost cause and the money used is well spent. They spend about 20 Billion (what's 20 Billion to the U.S? That's chump change compared to our other financial spendings that are not directed affecting this country) a year, arrest about 2 Million people per year for drug offenses, and this isn't including anyone arrested for marijuana, that # is around 700,000 to 1 million.

America's goal isn't to remove Marijuana. While they believe marijuana is a "gateway" drug to harder drugs like meth, coke, heroine and others, they do not feel that marijuana is that harmful, but it is still illegal. They want to rid our streets of that harder drugs. They also don't want you selling drugs. Just because you have marijuana doesn't get you arrested, if you have a small quanitity of it, they'll write you a ticket and you'll be on your way.

And finally, another major reason for our War on Drugs is the spread of diseases such as HIV. It's nasty to see crack users sharing needles, not caring what the last person has in their blood stream so they can enjoy an hour of being high.

I wasn't specifically talking about marijuana. I was talking about heroin and cocaine, that are manufactured in like, Colombia or something. Since the 70s, importation of these drugs has doubled, and is at an all-time high. Obviously something isn't working.

Then again, if any drug is legalize(yeah right), and controlled, they can benefit from taxing it. It might actually reduce or completely eliminate the debt. :rolleyes:

Cocaine and heroin are bad, mmmkay.
 
Can't really compare Colombia, a country run by gorillas. The government there has no power really. But the U.S. has really kicked into action with Colombia and cocaine. For example, a friends dad was hired in Colombia to bring a small pound of cocaine into the U.S., in return he'd get about $25,000 dollars. His family was very poor here (they migrated from Colombia) and he could use the money. Unfortunantely, he was caught. Sentenced 10 years in U.S. Federal Prision and was banned from ever entering the U.S. again. All for a pound of cocaine. Sure that's a lot, but when you're talking about cocaine, that's very little amount.

If it's one country the U.S. monitors, it's Colombia:

This is not true at all. Shwag is grown in Mexico, and people smoke more shwag than dank... because they have to.

Why can't you compare it? The US government is still in action over there.

Their action over there has failed because their spraying of round-up instead created a stronger strain of the coca plant.

Has nothing to do with millitants there.


And so you're not confused in the future:
Gorilla
vs.
Guerilla

unless they live in the northwest or close to the US/Canada border.

since it seems to be a much bigger offence to import marijuana to the US than it is to grow it, could one not say that that is illegal discrimination in favour of local producers and call in the WTO?
