Who will not fill the void? What they did has been going on since the days of bootleg-taken straight from Netflix. They got greedy and the Colombian should have known not to trust an American, particularly one who supports Trump. Oh well, he lived, learned, and will be out in before his 40th Birthday.

Many of the problems individuals experience as a result of addiction to illegal substances stem from the illegality of the drugs themselves. Our jails are full of people who would’ve benefited more from mental health care and medically supervised detox than living in a cage where they can engage in risky behavior to self-medicate mental health problems that are only getting worse.

But then again, we live in a world where people believe in BS like “spare the rod, spoil the child”, so we’ll continue throwing good money (tax dollars) after bad. It won’t change with people like Matt “Rick” Gaetz, Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trump in office. Their donors profit off the private prison system, and their agenda to militarize police departments is fueled by stoking YOUR fears about drugs.

tl;dr Drug use/addiction are mental health issues–not crime; and big drug bust stories are just fear-stoking, police-state propaganda.

The war on drugs is pathetic and I believe being human with free will, you should be able to put whatever you want in your body. It’s all about money.

Cocaine ? (-: Ha ! If you really broke the stats down, I’d bet big money that crime from cocaine is relatively miniscule among drug crime. It’s like early 80’s cocaine use. The kind of person using cocaine anymore are either early IV users or people that still live a normal lifestyle. You can find a far worse class of people than cocaine users. Hell, a liberal for example.

Here’s my comment to all the addicts on this page what the DEA is doing to help and protect is a good thing. So if anyone thinks that cocaine or meth or any other drug in that manner should be legalized should go to jail right along with this man. Now I do believe in the medical purposes of marijuana that should be legalized and taxed but anything else harder than that NO! My little sister almost died because of crap like this, my father as well. So cocaine and meth and or crack or what ever else anyone can think of in that manner needs to be stopped.

Legalize cocaine? NO. It’s worse than than the worst. Educate our citizenry? We’ve been doing that for years. People who choose to use pay the price. I know that sounds heartless, but it’s a fact. No one ever became addicted by NOT using or making the conscious choice to pick up that needle, pipe, straw and snort or whatever. These dealers are supplying a demand. If the demand goes away, so do the dealers. I think there is equal responsibility on BOTH sides of this equation.

As for living better in prison? I worked for the FEDS for 20 years. It’s not better. They have basic rights and needs met, but they are required to live in a way that many of you would not like very much. It’s a human warehouse.

I believe as an addict that they should legalize all drugs and tax just as they have done with marijuana and let this help our nation to truly understand what were dealing with head on by placing the revenue into rehabs, education , and most importantly for our children to be very knowledgeable so they no what it is before they even decide to ever pick up. We waist so much money fighting these drugs when we the people if we didn’t buy there would be no supply so why not use the money and make are nation way more resoursecful then ever . The crime alone with these drugs will be dropped to damn near nothing. That should mean something all but its self. And I agree they always get the small fish to let the shark swim free
