The Moral Reality Of The War On Drugs


( About 38 Minutes )

What Stefan says in the video I have been saying for over 12 years.

People in chronic pain chronically take pain relievers.

Or as Stefan says, “You cannot solve the results of trauma with more trauma.

Addiction doc says: It’s not the drugs. It’s the ACEs – adverse childhood experiences.

14-Year Veteran Undercover Cop Exposes Truth About The Drug War: “I Used To Believe I Was Doing Good”

“When I went into policing I thought addicts had made the mistake of trying drugs and had no willpower to stop. Actually, problematic drug users – or at least all the ones I knew – were self medicating. Most of the heroin users I knew were self-medicating for childhood trauma, whether physical or sexual.

If you know a Prohibitionist try to get this information to them. I know it will not change many minds. But if you can get their kids to see it perhaps we can affect the next generation.

    For different reasons, both conservatives and liberals love the moral authoritarianism at the core of the war on drugs. It is a primary linchpin of big government and provides the legal rationale for countless varieties of state intervention. Big media has been in love with the war on drugs from the very beginning, as nothing draws an audience like fear tactics.

    People who say the war on drugs “does not work” and “cannot be won” tend to forget that if it is seen for what it is — as a war on freedom — in fact it does work very well.

    Seen as a war on freedom, the drug warriors are winning.

    I mean both “sides,” of course….

    It is funny that people blame prohibitionists. When there was a prohibition against alcohol, many alcohol lovers would knowingly buy alcohol from illegal “organisations”, knowing that there was a very much likelihood that these organisations were sex-trafficking or pimping girls, many under-aged.

    This is the ugly face of addiction. I just feel sad for humanity that rest of us have to put up with it. Just sad.

    John Love,

    Nice to see you favoring a war on abused children. Very Christian of you.

    Prohibition supports the very gangs you abhor. Very logical.

    Prohibition is a government program to support, criminals, gangs, and terrorists. I’m glad to see you supporting all that. /s
