Most conservatives or right-wings worldwide oppose psychoatives legalization, why such unanimity on this topic? I find it strange that there is such a consensus. Do you know why?
Personnally I don't know. They pretend to be for individual liberty/responsability while honoring for most westerners the so called freedom, but in fact are more like zealous little control freaks closer to ISIS in their way of thinking...
Only Libertarians get the concept of ownership of the body by the individual... it goes to whatever-sex to abortion to "drugs".
Most people, not just conservatives repeat what they are told. They also believe whats on the TV and what politicians tell them. Even though those same sources have been proven time and time again to lie. I think this is a problem with people. Most cannot or will not think for themselves. Perhaps they are too stupid or too lazy or too busy to do so. It's probably a combination of all of those factors.
Its completely logical to legalize and control all drugs.
1) the government makes money
2) the government saves money
3) the government helps addicts with some of the money that is made and saved.
Why are drugs still illegal? Because criminals have been running things for a very long time.
Let's take the Philippines as an example. The drug lords (according to their president) are the police chiefs from various districts. People working in their government are in on the take. Then they go out and murder the people that they have caused to have addictions.. crazy right?
Evil people run shit because they will do anything to remain in power. You can not stop them and this will keep happening.
