What do you think about the international drug war?
My opinion :
Everyone should take what they want, as long as they are of legal age and the substances are tested, meaning no cutting agents are added, and then there is controlled state distribution, which also allows for tax revenue and job creation.
Why do politicians want to continue the war? There are only disadvantages because drugs can't be minimized through prohibition. Recently several kilograms of cocaine were found at the airport and caught because the drug dealers hadn't put an expiration date on the camouflage packaging (the coke was hidden in potatoes). A shipment is found and disposed of, and when the dealers are found they are arrested – but that doesn't solve the problems. The trafficking goes on all over the world and this means that the next dealer comes along who then doesn't get caught and imports the kilograms of cocaine and thus supplies the users. It must mean something that even prison inmates often use illegal drugs, even though prison is the place where controls are arguably the most frequent. When asked how drugs get in, the answer was: how are drugs supposed to not get into prison? There are thousands of possibilities and ways – that's why the cells are checked and yet drugs are still hidden there.

I mean a substance-specific regulation. What I don’t want is heroin or crystal next to the chocolate in the supermarket. What I mean, I’ve done more here:
What is a sensible drug policy?,
There is currently no country on our 🌎, whose drug policy I could personally call good. From my point of view, there are only countries with cruel conditions (e.g. 🇸🇬), which have bad (e.g. 🇩🇪) and which with less bad (e.g. 🇵🇹).
We have a global drug policy problem, https://mybrainmychoice.de/war-gegen-drogen/
Mr. Thomas Fischer, former chairman of the Federal Court of Justice, has said that it is impossible to say:

Thanks very much ⭐
Join me, write your own answer is superfluous.
The problem of the “drug war” is that the public actors do not pull the same line and pursue conflicting interests. In the case of the U.S., it is even that the authorities of the same country (CIA and DEA) are pursuing interests that sometimes are in direct opposition to one another.
For example, one thinks of the Iran Contra affair. “Official” takes the war against drugs. But only “official” in itself, the overarching institutions have no interest in preventing trade in large-scale drugs and the associated violence. Partly because of your own profit. What, of course, can have extremely tragic consequences, even for your own people (see what happened to Kiki Camarena). And as soon as the drug trade is strategically important (for example, the lucrative trade in heroin from Afghanistan), the “drug war” automatically plays a subordinate role.
The war against drugs is nothing but theater. At least as long as there is a state interest in international drug trafficking.

But that sounds like winning the war against drugs if everyone else is on a run. But that is also wrong, it is impossible to win.
It is true that the war against drugs is impossible to win.
What I’m doing is in the end that every year there is a waste of sums of money and human lives for a war that can’t be won, and that one doesn’t actually “gain” WILL (even if possible). The opposite is always told to the people.
As I said, in principle this is nothing other than (extremely bloody) theater.
I absolutely agree. In most cases, this is probably not a bad intention, the system is only so tight and in the normal population there is no movement to decriminalize drugs. That’s nothing to get voices, unfortunately.
And of course, most of the politicians will be as misinformed as the majority of the population as regards the issue.
at least once everything decriminalize. I don’t see anything legalizing.
Cannabis is now legalized (which is good) to release mushrooms/Schrooms and at least once no longer follow criminal law, but instead put on help, prevention and clarification
The war against drugs is an emotional and historical one. There are also many people who like to adhere to the ban, as it is of course the first to use the black market – it would be a shame if profits would break in here. The tobacco and alcohol industry would suddenly have more competition in legalization – I cannot imagine that this is desirable. In addition, there are the typical hidden idealists who think war against drugs is important and we have to prescribe to people what they have to do and leave to protect them.
yes obviously, I don’t write the same argument on
Legalization very clearly 🙂
should everyone have the freedom to take what he likes
Absolute prohibition and revision of the much too lazy criminal law in drug offences.
This shows the last decades ..
What’s that supposed to do?
The War on Drugs has failed. You can learn from mistakes or you can stay there.
Zero tolerance in drug offences and drastic increase in penalties.
I would ask for a reason, but it is still the question of the last time unanswered.
What’s that supposed to do?
Forget it there is no reason
The user likes to spread. Unfounded bullshit
Does the legalization of drugs change anything at the destructive addiction potential? Didn’t hard drugs destroy enough life? Nobody can tell me you can control drug use. The addiction factor is too high. Sorry, an acquaintance works in a facility for former addiction patients, who have dipped the brain with psychoactive substances… you don’t really want to end.
Hi. !
In my opinion, there is no more war on drugs – it has long been lost. Some (too many) can not admit that.
The problem is that we have been systematically destroyed. We are judged as a child, the drugs are bad, but that’s not true. There are only people who use them as if they were bad (use).
Start of 20. In the past, heroin, cannabis and opium could be bought quite normal in the pharmacy (where it belongs).
Cocaine was contained, for example, in Coca Cola. Coca Cola was also developed to have a cocaine-containing alternative to Mariani wine. Many had no interest in alcohol – but in cocaine – as a performance-enhancing substance.
All psychoactive substances belong freely to the pharmacy or to a food store. Of course only with controlled delivery and reconnaissance.

Everyone is responsible for his own health. How to know even smoker and alkis z.b
I am to legalize all drugs
There are hardly valid arguments for this.
