Funny you say that, when the war on drugs specifically targets minorities such as blacks.
So therefore you're a traitor to your own race.
And stop trying to change the subject.

I would've thought that the war on drugs is good and drugs are bad?
How is the war on drugs bad?

You want to see how it's bad, compare the rate of violent crimes before and during Prohibition.

It's hard NOT to target minorities when they're the ones doing most of the selling and transporting.

They weren't doing that until laws passed making the drugs illegal, and besides, I haven't seen any CIA officials jailed for helping terrorists in Nicaragua sell cocaine.

Your argument there makes no sense, because populations during prohibition were much, much lower than now. There would have been a lower crime rate regardless.
Anyway, I think the 'war' on drugs is stupid, and the WRONG approach to removing harmful drugs like meth and crack-cocaine from our cities. Instead of enforcement and throwing people in jail, ruining their lives even more, they should rehabilitate them and get them actual treatment for their addictions, rather than letting them rot for years in a cell and getting worse.
This, combined with proper (read: not lies and hyperbole that is often presented as truth. Example: Marijuana making you a failure in life) education on harmful drugs and their effects in schools and poorer communities where youth would be more at risk of becoming a heavy drug user would also help.
Less harmful 'soft drugs' such as cannabis etc. should also be decriminalized, or legalized in my opinion.

maby you need to rephrase,
i like drugs
i spend my life making new ones
i like ampicillin
fucidic acid
erythromyocin
can you see where in going with this?
a drug is a compound that alters the bodys natural performance, so that includes everything from herion to antibiotics, diuretics, steroids and pain killers. drugs keep people alive
using drugs for getting high is wrong and stupid (drugs of abuse as they are currently called), using them to cure sick people is good, i personally do make an exception for ethanol, it is a drug, but in small amounts is it safe (plus i like beer)
(my job is working in a research center developing antibiotics)
and about marijuana, there is loads of scientific data that shows it causes neuron damage, if you care look it up on a scientific journal search engine, free ones include pubmed and google scholor, there are also journals that show no damage, but in general most say it causes damage, if you dont belive me look it up

You'd think an adult who works in a lab would at least type like an adult.

Um...
Ethanol would kill you...
Steroids generally harm the body, and are therefore not healthy at all.
And it is spelled 'Fusidic Acid' .

so you couldnt find anything wrong with what i ment so you insulted my spelling.....
yes im terrible at spelling, im dyslexic (i hope thats spelt properly) doesnt affect you in lab work. any real argument against what i said, other than spelling?
if it helps i check my spelling on important documents, i dont really consider these posts worth putting into Word and running the spell checker

yes it is, my bad, i mixed up the brand name (Fucidin) with the active ingreadient. steriods are not all bad, they are used to speed up metabolic rate in damaged cells, i once got a skin infection and was given fucidic acid with steroids (topical) to treat it
ethanol is good though...... but i try to drink less than a damaging dose (usually fail)

Drugs aren't inherently good or bad. That's entirely up to the user.
However, the War on Drugs needs to end. We spend an (estimated) $75 billion dollars a year on fighting drugs, as well as paying to incarcerate those in prison because of drug offenses (approximately 50% of the inmate population).
You'd expect the availability and use of illegal drugs to decline after spending that much public money, but that's not the case. Teen drug use is nearly double what it was 15 years ago.
It should be obvious at this point that prohibition doesn't help stop drug use at all, and only increases our already large inmate population. The only people that benefit from prohibition are drug traffickers and politicians.
Just giving you guys something to think about.
