The state’s war on drugs fuels black markets. Prohibition creates violence and corruption, justifying more funding for failed enforcement agencies.

💯 ..and escalation of weaponry.

Prohibition breeds crime, corruption, and bloated enforcement. The war on drugs is a self-inflicted wound.

The reward for government failure is always more government.

State is nothing more than expanding negative feedback loops all the way down.

On the other hand letting drug users shoot up smack & meth freely on the streets creates a huge social mess and is what happened here in Portland.
