So I’ve been thinking about this as my community is watching reports of FBI unload heroin, cocaine, fentanyl crossing the border. As my family is talking about how they should deport all the democrats on the left, I was thinking how this wouldn’t fix anything.
War on drugs will go on and on because of who? People who buys the hard drugs. Who buys hard drugs? Happy people working a regular job? No, I would think a happy person doesn’t just shoot up some heroin. Homeless people, sad and depressed people, the people society treats like trash.
The war on drugs is really a war on the working class if you think about it. If we fix wealth inequality, I have no doubt that there will be less drugs on the streets. Of course, we will still want drug rehab and stuff but in the big picture, it’s getting people to not even try drugs in the first place.
But you know, that’s just a theory…a game theory.
the war on drugs was started for many reasons but the most prevalent one seems to be to scare weed-smokers, to disrupt communities who have a habit of relaxing (hippies) and so on, so yes, the war against drugs isn’t a “good” thing, it’s yet another cruelty of the time.
