Jeff Sessions wants to bring back the War on Drugs.

[Barnabas]

If we bring back harsh marijuana law enforcement, then police officers can go back to planting it on "people they don't like" *coughblackpeoplecough* and we won't have any more grisly shootings of unarmed men "looking like they're reaching for a weapon".

Think of all the lives we'll save!

Blacks are also more likely to live in gang infested neighborhoods than whites.

It really depends how long you take them.

Chronic pain, with opioids as a solution? No bueno most of the time.

somewhere around 4 months.

It really is a bunch of old white guys who want to fuck everyone else over.

Who also think power is cool..... but IMO, this is going to be a wasted 100 Billion a year, or more, if it happens.

When did the war on drugs stop? I haven't noticed any large drug related legislation on the federal level in awhile.

they mean back into the news spin cycle

Not law, but policy. Specifically the federal tolerance of state level legalization of marijuana.

Good, going soft on drug users only encourages drug use and makes the traffickers rich.

And meanwhile peddle opioids legally. It's a good game.

Except, if you legalize pot - and I think it should be legal - there are no traffickers.

Make the same argument, but change traffickers into pharma companies.

Hey guy. If you make drugs legal, traffickers can't make money.

[Sky High]

shhhhh, critical thinking isn't welcome here.

There is little evidence to support this claim.

I mean, you did see the statistics about usage, possession, vs arrest rates, right?


Did that just go as far over your head as a jet liner?

[Belize]

There is little evidence to support this claim.

And there's plenty of evidence against the War on Drugs.

[Cthulhu 2020]

Critical thinking left the building November 9th. In fact, I think it decided to fuck off long before that...

Do you think these arrests happened at an airport? Blacks are more likely to live in gang infested neighborhoods. Those neighborhoods are policed more than white neighborhoods because of crime. So obviously there will be more arrests or stops made. Can you come back to reality? We should talk.

Sure but decriminalizing doesn't magically make arrests go away. Go look at statistics in california or colorado.

[prwraith]

Aren't deep south republicans like some of the biggest potheads in the universe........

Why on earth would they do this.

[GarlicGuy]

There is little evidence to support this claim.

Simple common sense. If I can buy pot from a store and not some shady dealer on the street, I'm buying from a store.

[KrazyK923]

Well we've gotta make sure those private prisons are filled to the absolute brim.

[callipygoustp]

Once Trump was declared the winner i knew I should have invested in private prisons. Fuck, such a missed opportunity.
