Looking for a reason to legalize drugs?
Depriving [link|http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070412/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_deadly_messages|these guys] of their profits looks as good as any other.
Drug traffickers are waging a highly effective publicity campaign in Mexico that began with a chilling show of brutality in Acapulco: two police officers' heads, streaming with blood, were stuck on metal spikes outside a downtown building with a fluorescent cardboard sign. "So that you learn to respect," it read in thick black letters.
We posture as apostles of fair play, as good sportsmen, as professional knights-errant-- and we throw beer bottles at the umpire when he refuses to cheat for our side...We save the black-and-tan republics from their native [statesmen]--and flood them with "deserving" democrats of our own. We deafen the world with our whoops for liberty--and submit to laws that destroy our most sacred rights...We play policeman and Sunday-school superintendent to half of Christendom--and lynch a darky every two days in our own backyard.

Simple. There's money to be made!
You ever hear of "supply and demand"? :) Artificially restrict the supply and the price goes up! Way up!
Fires in refineries notwithstanding, it's happening with gasoline supplies as we speak.

Program on History Channel last night 'Cocaine' laid it out
Great little program. Traces the rise of cocaine from food additive and cure-all to controlled substance and lays out how the law of unintended consequences worked with the Harrison Act to give us skyrocketing incarceration rates, rise of organized drug syndicates, and general change in attitude.
It was apparently the Harrison Act that required Drs and Pharms to keep records of substance use and made it illegal to provide it except for use in 'due course of medical treatment'. It also defined addiction as NOT a medical condition - thus creating the black market.
Core is the idea that 'lesser people' cannot handle intoxication and it is just part of an attempt to systematically deny intoxicants to non-whites, lest they go crazy and be unable to refrain from raping and murdering white familes.
Little summary here. [link|http://www.druglibrary.org/olsen/dpf/whitebread04.html|http://www.druglibra...whitebread04.html]
Program recommended.

Pot, too
I saw a similar program -- might have been the same one -- where they pointed out that the first anti-marijuana laws were actually a back-door way to crack down on illegal Mexican workers. They didn't really care about the pot, just wanted something they could bust the wetbacks for.

Then we got the CIA dealing horse to undermine panthers
Its all race. All of it.
The funny thing is that coke was initially used to treat civil war veteran morphine addicts. Coca cola was concocted by one of same for himself, later selling the formula to the founders of the Coca Cola Co.
So really, outlawing drugs for addicts is undermining the troops. Support the troops! Just say YES.

Go watch "Reefer Madness"
and see the scare tactics used to push the criminalization of drugs. Please remember to overlook the blatant racism underlying the whole story from social mores prevelant at the time.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

That was done in the 50's - right?
Original damage was started around 1910.
