Occasionally, some weird glitch in our publishing system results in duplicate paragraphs. I'm not sure we've ever figured out what is really going on. The article should be all cleaned up now.
Hi -
Editors: you might want to look over this article again. Seems like there's a lot of repeated paragraphs in the article.
All the 'illegal' recreational drugs used to be
legal before artificial legislation was concocted
against their production, possession, and use. The
solution to the 'illegal' drug problem is to repeal and abrogate the artificially concocted laws and treaties which make these drugs artificially 'illegal'. Then they would be naturally legal again.
The Prohibition and Re-Legalization of alcohol
shows what drug laws, and drug law repeal, leads
to. Prohibition raised the price of alcohol and
funded the buildup of vast criminal enterprises
decades ago, before the age of "globalization."
De-prohibiting alcohol caused these alco-mafias
to lose interest in alcohol. Luckily for them,
pro-crime governments around the world obligingly
kept other drugs illegal, and even outlawed more
drugs in order to create more opportunities for
more narco-mafias. The governments of the world
have a symbiotic relationship with the narco-mafias of the world. The governments keep these
drugs illegal in order to keep the drug prices
high enough to keep the narco mafias rich and powerful. The narco-mafias foster enough other
crime and violence to allow governments to keep
faking the case for a War On Drugs which is the
governments' excuse for gaining ever more power
to oppress their host populations, and spend ever
more tax money on lucrative War On Drugs beaurocracies and prisondustrial complexes. One
back scratches the other. Want to break that cycle? Repeal Drug Prohibition.
