Opinions - The War on Drugs? Making the average person care...

[Bassic]

So we all know that we as drug users are motivated toward the legalization of drugs. The only problem is that out of the small proportion of people who use drugs an even smaller proportion care about whether drugs are legal or not. An even smaller percentage of people who dont use drugs are at all likely to care whether or not drugs are legal or not.

Fact is for the majority of people there are things that are much more wrong with the world that the simple fact someone can't legally toke up a joint. Take the war on terror in places such as iraq. Take the poverty crisis in places like Africa. Take the corruption crisis currently sweeping US government.

There's such an abundance of things that take priority over drugs. The average person can't see how the prohibition of drugs directly affects all these things. The money in the drugs buisness means that govermental corruption is always going to go hand in hand with drug prohibition. The money in the drugs business means it will always help fund terror as sales cannot be regulated. The money in the drugs business will always, without regulated sales be a direct cause to opression of certain countries by drug cartels.

If you all want to make Drugs legal then the way to do it is not to constantly push the fact that alcohol is more dangerous that most prohibited drugs. It is no to make people recognize that drugs are not that devils child and are safe in moderation.

The way to End drug prohibition is to link it with the problems an average person thinks are wrong with the world and show how prohibition is one of the things that causes these problems.
