A Step By Step Guide To End The Drug War

in #freedom7 years ago

Cartels raping and murdering innocent people, our government pushing harsher yet mandatory sentencing laws on hippie kids, drug addicts being treated as criminals because they can’t get help for their addiction for fear of being outed to the police, college kids watching their friend die of overdose because they are too afraid to call for help and get their lives ruined. The drug war. We are all too familiar with the scourge that was released on us when then President Richard Nixon declared a war on drugs.

Richard Nixon could not have possibly of known the full devastation of his plan when he used his federal powers to criminalize huge swaths of the American population. One of Nixon’s aides, John Ehrlichman, was quoted saying, “We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”. Nixon was literally using his power as president to quell public dissent by starting the drug war.

Even though the malign origins of the drug war is well known, this gross misconduct of our federal government has only gotten worse. The federal government uses its power even today to force states into obeying its agenda. Only recently have we seen states begin to pluck up the courage to fight back against this tyrannical force by legalizing cannabis. Senator Jeff Sessions and President Trump still have the audacity to not only publicly continue this horrible drug war, but to embolden it even further.

Time and time again the people have tried to live in freedom and not suffer from victimless crimes. Unfortunately, the voice of the people does not have as much power as it used to. Our federal government is far too entrenched in its own power to bend its ear down to the people. The way to get rid of the drug war is to legally dismantle the federal government. You heard me correctly. We have to end the heart of the corruption.

Step One


Educate yourself. If you want to be able to do what is possibly the greatest feat in this nation since claiming our independence, you need to know what you’re doing. Learn about the drug war. Read the statistics about how it is our government causing Cartels to become more brutal and causing our sons to grow up without their fathers. It is our federal government sending soldiers to Afghanistan to guard poppy fields for heroin supply. More importantly, learn how to end this corruption.

Step Two


Educate others on the drug war and how to end this corruption. Did you know that currently there is a candidate running for Presidency that will end all of the federal corruption? I don’t mean “draining the swamp” or other platitudinous remarks. I mean taking the powers of the federal government and giving it to the states. Letting each community decide their own drug policy based off of science and reason versus basic corruption. That man’s name is Adam Kokesh. He wants to be elected into presidency so that he can dismantle all of the federal offices that leach our tax money and stab us in the back.

Step Three


Actually vote. No, I mean it. Form groups and go to the voting polls in 2020 and vote for Adam Kokesh. With a pen and a ballot, you can bring this sickening corruption to its knees. It will be done and over with if we just go out and vote.

A new era of rational thought, love, and community can arise from the ashes of this drug war if we want it to. None of the steps that I have listed are difficult. It is all within your control. So the next time you feel as though this country is rotting from the inside out and there is nothing you can do about it because you aren’t free, remember it’s as easy as one, two, three!

Very interesting that Trump made such a point on eradicating opiates. Doesn't he know the CIA doesn't like interference in their dealing?

Trump slurs words, he must be on something ....opiates? just a puppet show.

He probably isn't on drugs, just dementia.

CIA = Cocaine Import Agency

Mena is a good place to start learning about the drug business. Then, the book, Drugs Inc. Also George Webb has some eye popping info on youtube on a variety of vice.

To be fair, importing cocaine is, like, the one thing the CIA does that we can all agree is just wonderful, no?

Oh.

Apologies.

I sometimes forget that sarcasm on steemit goes over about as well as a fart in a crowded elevator.

While we’re talking drugs, though, the liberty movement could really use a big collective bong-rip and some Enya tunes.

It’s ok to lighten up a little.

The State tries to take away most of our happiness anyway.

No reason to go full 100% dour with the little bit of joy we’re able to secretly hide away.

He would have to read the memo first.

The CIA has moved on to Chinese fentanyl.

We are not going to fix anything, operating within a centralized system, which only presents us with a loophole for power abuse and corruption.

We are better off adopting a decentralized way of doing things, if we really want to rid ourselves from abuse and corruption itself.

We have a lot of fields of drugs in morocco exactly in Ktama

The exact reason why it's not stopping because of some who makes profit out of it.

NEWSFLASH - That is NOT a picture of "drugs".
Sounds like you've bought into the BS, hook, line and sinker.....

I support what you're trying to accomplish, but not the way you propose we do it. Having a weak centralized government just doesn't work. Remember the Articles of Confederation? Didn't work out too well, did it? I also fail to understand how you think state governments are any less corrupt than the federal government.

The founding fathers still want a small central government. Also the Article of Confederation failed because there was no unified trade, currency and had to ask state to for money. If they had free trade, used gold and silver coin as the national currency and had something like a 20% tax on state revenue, then it could have worked better. Also congress couldn't pass laws so we have the same government system now but change it so only national issue become laws and leave stuff like moral issues to the state.

This is really lovely. I hope posts like this get to reach the right people. Buh more can actually be done than just a political onslaught

I do think that taking drugs is the wrong choice and people should not do it. However that's my opinion and opinions should not be made law. If somebody decides that they would like to smoke pot....let them, especially if there is documented proof that it helps with symptoms from various medical conditions. I believe the war on drugs seemed to be a noble thing decades ago however it has become rife with corruption.

Smoking drugs or weeds can be fine as long as no life is endangered or abused. We all know what comes after pot session mostly( rape or crime). Let's let the next generation live in peace.

It was never a noble thing - it has always been about power and control..

You are probably correct

I would love to see the dope dealers that are behind the opioid epidemic find themselves in jail like I did once for selling dime bags of pot.

Ending the war on drugs would probably be the biggest move towards more freedom in the US outside of abolishing the state.

Really? More of a move towards freedom than the abolition of slavery, women's sufferage, or the Civil Right's movement?

I believe desensitization, nulling, and legalizing drugs will decrease the current crime tied to it. Look at the autobahn in Germany a highway with no speed limit, guess what, almost no one goes over 70 or 80. Same with drugs if legalized it will just become a mehh thing, who cares whatever type mentality.
