I agree with you "morally" about "crack cocaine". Because it ISN'T "cocaine". It's a bunch of toxic chemicals cooked up (just like "crank" is too).
I personally don't want anything to do with those kinds of things.
But...I'm not one to judge other people. And I don't think the govt. should have the power to judge them either.
As for "real" cocaine...it's a plant. People have been using it as an "upper" in one form or another for thousands of years.
I was down in Peru...and the poor people there chew the leaves.
But getting back to "crack cocaine"...I do agree it's horrible for people.
But the govt. making it "illegal" and then having all these gangs form and people killing each other..it's just insanity.
I know that we've been fed a story by the govt. and the media for all of our lives that IF these drugs were "legal" then we'd suddenly have crime everywhere as everyone would be a junky and stealing and killing for money to get their "fix".
But I guess we will never know will we? Conveniently, the govt. has a huge bureaucracy and ARMY of police that constitute the feeding system for a multi-billion dollar prison industry.
There's just no money in making drugs legal. There's just no money in freedom.
