<\/p>\n
Anyone put to death by the Government for Drug Dealing will have been MURDERED by the Government, suffering a cruel and unusual penalty that does NOT fit the crime. It would be like giving bootleggers the chair for running moonshine…this is NOT China, or Putin’s Russia, or Duterte’s Philippines, where a repressionist minority dictates their right wing biased will upon the masses without consent. No, last time I checked, this was still a DEMOCRACY.
\nPeople have the RIGHT to choose their drug of choice, and they should be able to buy it without government interference. You don’t rid the streets of drug dealers by threatening them…you put them out of business, by legalizing a controlled, supply & demand driven market. If you get rid of prohibition, you get rid of the black market. Prohibition didn’t work for alcohol 100 years ago because it is a failed idea, that doesn’t work for controlling public use of ANY drug.
\nThe BEST control is the TRUTH and the TRUTH is never found when one closes their eyes and depends on superstition and taboo, rather than science and fact. Want an example? #Tobacco. Telling the truth about tobacco use has been the SINGLE biggest reason for decreased smoking, in both teens and adults in America. #CheckIt
\nJeff Sessions is misinformed and a fool at best, or he knows the truth and is manipulating it for political, racist purposes at worst. He should NOT be in a position which requires a person to be ethical…Like #USAG.<\/p>\n
