the war on drugs only exists to limit and control supply and monitor the users. its true. it makes them way more money that way and also funds secret things that way.

plus it gives the real people in power the ability to harvest/sell the drugs, bust the dealers they sell it to when they get out of line so they can never grow too economically powerful to take the government, collect the money and the drugs from the very people they sold them to, then do it again.

its really ingenius really.

they give people fake rehabs that just cycle people through court and prison and rehab endlessly and give them prescriptions which make addiction worse, not better, like methadone and suboxone.

this keeps it also being an unofficial tax system that makes infinite dollars by cycling people around and continuing the problem rather than fixing it. everyone involved along the way gets a cut.

the amount of money they make this way is insane.

and just look at what happens when its no longer a serious threat -- like pot was economically in the past. they then legalize it, and justify the high street prices saying "supply and demand its what the market will bear"

no pot is worth like $10 an ounce in reality. the only reason it isnt is because of the heavy taxation and legal problems surrounding it. if you stopped all controls and let everyone just grow it, it would have no value at all.

what they operate on is perceived value of exclusivity really.

Btw there is actual evidence of the price thing i mentioned. go back before the prescription drug act and see how cheap it was to buy drugs from the druggist over the counter. so cheap that no heroin addict would ever commit a crime at that price. even accounting for inflation, it was about 25 cents for several grams of cocaine powder in a snuff tin.
