Prohibitionists often express the belief that the resulting mayhem and corruption that their policy engenders is in no way connected to the basic and erroneous mechanism being used, but simply that they haven’t been granted sufficient governmental powers (the removal of even more basic individual rights and freedoms) to do their work properly.

It’s quite possible, that many of the early Prohibitionists did not intend to kill hundreds of thousands worldwide, or put 1 in 32 Americans under supervision of the correctional system with their ill-thought-out-actions. Nevertheless, it’s now reasonably safe to claim, that our Latter-Day Sadomoralist Prison-for-Profit Prohibitionists don’t care. They don’t care that, historically, the prohibition of any mind altering substance has never succeeded. They don’t care that America has the highest percentage of it’s citizens incarcerated of any country in the history of the planet. They don’t care about spawning far worse conditions than those they claim to be alleviating. These despotic imbeciles are actually quite happy to create as much mayhem as possible. After all, it’s what fills their prisons and gets them elected.

I think the Feds/DEA’s actions are totally dispicable! WHY don’t they go after the crank manufacturers, cocaine distributors and the myriad of other drug manufacturers and distributors whose supplies truly are against state and federal laws? Those drugs DO cause mental and physical harm – one would think the “war on drugs” means just that – not a drug used for medicinal purposes.

Too bad our governor doesn’t have a backbone!
