Drug Wars
Being somewhat rigthwing, white fundamentalist one would expect the likes of me to be totally for the war on drugs. but guess what time to think again.
I seriously think that the current war on drugs is a waste of money and time, and counter productive 1000 fold or more.
--Statistically speaking soft{if drugs can be clasified as such} drugs{marijuana, shrooms, etc.} are not a disturbance drug. That is to say that those taking those drugs the worst thing that happens is they get the munchies. there hasn't been a columbine resulting from them, there hasn't been a gone postal worker from them, there hasn't been a government office manure spreading because of them, there hasn't been 7/11 robberies, there have been no hit and bump robberies from them.
Generally these drugs offer is victimless crime, that being the only one affected by thier comsumption is the one who consumes them.
However, porportionally more money is spent arresting chasing the victimless drug users of soft core drugs that damage to public cost from any damage that they might do.
In Canada, we are starting to come to our senses and soon marijuana will be legalized within the new year.
-Statistically the hardcore drugs, the ones crimes are read about from{cocaine, crack, meth, X, PCP, etc.} cause crimes only in the cases when the drugs are improperly prepared and the containment in conjunction with the drug cause a failure within the individual.
The reason these drugs are manufactured poorly is lack of time, fear of getting caught, and improper working conditions, most of which cause by the war on drugs, make something prohibitive and your demand is going to raise, see porn and booze for fine examples of which.
For the most part from any side {left or right} leaning scientific study clean properly prepared hard drugs have a low rate of violence as opposed to the fast, poorly, ill prepared drugs out there currently on the street.
--In conclusion of the war on drugs more money is spent focusing on the harmless drugs whilst the harmful is being semi neglected, but in the same hand the same war of drugs is making what drugs hard or soft available more dangerous that they need be. If money were placed in programs to legalize the drugs, proper production and slight taxation with in two years the money spent on 5 years of war on drugs would be renumerated 10 fold.
Peoplewill always have a habit or vice that is some sort of chemical dependancy whether it be cigarettes, booze or drugs it will there. the best thing instead of making it dangerous is find a way to make it a safer vice to be had by the individual and the community as a whole. Yes it will take money, and it will take time, but in the end it can be more beneficial for society financial and saafety as a whole.
Guns
- I personally don't have a gun and likely will never own a gun, but as long as guns are in the world I believe it is every persons right to have a gun for protection from those of lesser inhibitions and morals.
- I personally believe that by the time a child is in grade 7 there should be an optionary gun ownership and safetycourse if they ever plan on wanting a gun that they can take from grade 7/8 till grade 12. They must pass this entire program with a minimum 90% to ever qualify for ownership of gun.
- I personally believe that a person loses there gun right with a criminal activity regardless of wheteher the gun is involved or not related to the gun as well.
- I also believe that a person has to be a legal country resident for 3 years prior to gun owership as well as trained in gun saftey.
- Now I would love it if we lived in a perfect society with no criminal content but sadly that will never happen. Until there are no weapons on the planets or a lawlful officer of the law for every civilian on the planet, safety educated law abiding citizens deserve every right to own a gun.
Regardless of if the law abiding civilian has guns or not criminals will find guns and have them, statiscally most guns used in crimes are hand made or military stolen property, and not legally attained. So disallowing the law abider access to guns will not in the least reduce gun related crime if there are guns on the palnet or means to make one.
well that enough of that for now, its to hard to write original though and then type it out in semi legible type medium.
