[Plug Drugs]

well let me be the one, i can judge you. you can't be a junkie and rant and rave on about how fucking "smart" you are. it doesn't work like that. a smart junkie is a total paradox. i've p much done every drug under the sun aside from heroin because i was told that shit is bad. i was "smart" enough to stay away from that shit

There is nothing wrong with drug use

If drugs were legal they would be cheaper than most other commodities. Because they are illegal, illegal drug trading is the second biggest business on the planet - a 400 billion dollar a year industry (this is surpassed only by the arms trade).

So why doesn't the government just make drugs legal and tax them? Because the government is already making more money off them being illegal. That 400 billion dollars has to end up in a BANK inevitably. "They" are making something like 7000% more profit from drugs being illegal than if they were legal.

Lets face it -- making all drugs entirely legal is in the BEST INTEREST for society as a whole. Drugs being illegal allows for the existence of criminal organizations (who, not so coincidentally, buy weapons and contribute to the profit of the arms trade as well). If drugs were legal, these criminal organizations would not exist, and the crime, theft, and murder rate would drop substantially.

People are always going to be buying and using drugs whether they are illegal or not; making them illegal does nothing but fund criminals and the owners of banks

Kilo per kilo, cocaine is cheaper to grow and manufacture than sugar. Add in the fact that the amount of cocaine needed for its use is 100 times less than the amount of sugar needed for its use -- 0.1 grams of cocaine per line versus 10 grams of sugar per cookie.

40,000 people die a year from drug overdoses -- this may seem to suggest that drugs are dangerous, until you think of other statistics such as the fact that SUGAR (yes, sugar) kills 3,000,000 people each year. Drugs are only dangerous/harmful when people are not educated on their risks; most of the problems caused by drug addiction are money related - other problems (such as addiction, overdose, or mental health risks) could be completely avoided if individuals were educated about the drugs they are taking

The government benefits more from drugs being illegal than they ever could from them being legal. Not only are they making an obscene amount of money from illegal drugs, but it also gives them more power and authority over the population - drugs being illegal gives the government a reason to fine, arrest, and imprison people.

This is all true

also when sugar first started being made and imported and stuff it was classified as a drug

This is false.
The highest traded commodity is oil.
The second is coffee.
Your argument is invalid.

You're an idiot. In 2007, the oil industry made 127 billion. The coffee industry barely makes somewhere between 10 and 70 billion. The drug trade, however, is a 400 billion dollar a year industry - it was estimated by the UN.
The only thing higher than that is the weapons/military industry, which is close to a trillion globally.
The "Oil and coffee" statistic is among the more popular made up statistics -- the gaming industry alone is close to rivaling coffee
