Opinions - Drug prohibition "successes"

[malcolm kyle]

#1. It provides criminal enterprise with an endless source of tax free income.


#2. It increases the power of the state over the power of the people.


#3. It's a success for fascism, dictators, the prison industrial complex, the'drug' testing industry, cops on the take, corrupt politicians, gangs and terrorists, secret government agencies wishing to conduct expensive covert operations.


#4. It gives people who need it a politically correct group to blame and hate. Example: "Those druggies and legalizers are destroying everything good and wholesome in the world".


#5. It paints the world in black and white for people that are unable to see that reality comes in infinite shades.


#6. Drug prohibition is a incredible success at using fear, prejudice and ignorance to accomplish it's immoral goals.



Can anyone add to this list?
