You know, there was a statistic I read a long time ago that said that teens had easier access to marijuana and other illegal drugs than they did alcohol and tobacco. Granted, some kids get what they want, BUT the fact that in order to get tobacco products and alcohol at the store you get carded, and a lot of adults aren't gonna just go buy it for them either. A drug dealer doesn't care. They don't card.
I also believe that the money spend fighting this neverending war on drugs should be put into education about thes chemicals.
Telling kids false proproganda as we do now and have done for generations past has only caused kids to dabble. Once they find out they've been lied to once, they believe it all to be lies. If you give them real facts, then they can trust what's being told, rather than find out smoking pot doesnt cause little Jimmy to axe murder his parents, and deciding to try out, they cannhear the real facts both positive and negative. They'd be more likely to make better decisions then, I believe.
I also believe that PARENTS need to take responsibility for what their children get into as well. They depend so much on the government, and others to protect their kids, to teach their kids, that when there is a hole or failing, it's always someone else's fault. What about the parents and what they are doing to keep their children safe. A lot do jackshit and make no effort to protect and teach their children. In other countries this is not the case and the statistics show the difference.
as i've mentioned before there has been a concept used by rulers and leaders and control freaks for millennia. this is to instill fears into the population from dangers that they are not able to conceive being able to defend themselves against individually. as before i used dragon slayers as a reference. a knight would turn up to a town and convince them there was a fierce dragon nearby, but that he was a dragon slayer and could keep them safe. if he did a good enough job of convincing the villagers he would immediately become their new king, because they would now do anything to keep him there. they would conform to his every whim and pay them literally everything they had. because in their minds they now truly believed that their entire existence relied on him to keep them safe. it didn't matter that dragons didn't exist, just as long as they believed they did was all it took to use their fear against them to take advantage.
leaders today still use this tactic and one of the most effective dragons they have now is drugs. because parents fall to this scam easier than anybody when they fear for their kids. making parents think the only thing that can keep their loved ones safe from these hideously evil substances that are all around, is the police and govt and it is so effective in getting conformity and obedience from parents everywhere. this is the real reason why they exaggerate the effects of the drugs so much, they want parents absolutely shitting themselves at the thought of what could happen to their child.
they don't exaggerate the effects because they thought that if they made them sound so horrible it would put people off using them in the first place. they exaggerate the effects so people would feel helpless against them and would then turn to the authorities to defend them against the menace in their society. this is why parents have become so reliant on govt to protect their kids, the whole system was designed to do that. this is why the prohibition supporters are so alarmist to the extreme, because they've been drip fed over-exaggerated bullshit facts on drugs their whole life, designed to scare the shit out of them and go into panic mode whenever they even think about it. it clouds their judgement to the point all they can see is 'drugs are bad, mkay', they must be banned to keep them away from our kids. they've had this propaganda pushed into their minds so deep they can no longer have a rational thought on the subject and see the reality of the situation, even when you spell it out to them. they'll just keep arguing you on premise that was proven to be ridiculous decades ago. they're like religious people coming out with god works in mysterious ways and he's just testing us, type bullshit, so they can continue living in their nice safe little ignorant mind bubble.
i mean we shouldn't laugh at these people really because its fucking evil what has been done to them. but on the other hand it is pretty fucking hilarious just how cucked these people are an all, lololmao
