Should Conservatives oppose the War on Drugs?

[Madison]

Very few drugs of abuse have anything like that kind of effect on a person. Alcohol is a different story.

Or mix everything together *drug and alcool*

[Tahuyaman]

There's no question that conservatives should oppose the war on drugs. The only discussion should be how do we committ resources to ease the addiction problem.

Poison the drug supply and their won't be any need for all these prisons. Childish escapist and beastly hotheads are an existential threat to society. They belong in morgues.

Something like that was tried during Prohibition.

I apologize to anyone offended by my point of views on marijuana. Please understand my simple logic.

1) Liberals use marijuana six times more then Conservatives. Here.

2) Most Conservatives and Classical Liberals have posted something Politically Incorrect online.

3) Many Modern Liberals want to destroy career and livelihood of anyone who has posted something Politically Incorrect online. This is wrong and extremely cruel.

4) Modern Liberals' wrong and inhumane attitude should be corrected. There can be no law requiring correction of Modern Liberals for destroying people's careers. Nevertheless, as we have seen in 1), War on Drugs would impose correction on many more Modern Liberals.

The US Constitution grants no powers to the Federal government to regulate or ban drugs. This has been my steady position for decades.

In 2019 US Penal System housed

198,000 drug offenders in state prisons,
150,000 drug offenders in jails,
97,000 drug offenders in federal prisons.

A significant majorityof these 445,000 drug offenders are Liberal. Of course Liberals oppose the War on Drugs.

Should Conservatives oppose the War on Drugs? I do not know. In my opinion, if over 33% of those incarcerated for drugs are Conservative, War on Drugs should be opposed. If under 20% of those incarcerated for drugs are Conservative, then no.

Many conservatives do oppose the war on drugs, myself included. Where have you been?

Sorry, but I'm done with your silly depictions of conservatives. You are utterly ignorant about American conservatism.

I never pretend to speak for Conservatives. I am Classical Liberal. As for other issues we can agree to disagree.

I guess, anyone who is cancelled will agree with my hard line approach to Cancel Culture.

Your position has merit. Perhaps I am wrong on issue of drugs.

Hopefully those affected by Cancel Culture will consider the merit of my position.
