As the regular posters here probably know, there are very few topics I take seriously but, when I do, I usually bomb the screen with walls of text, sources, and html codes. Also, I'm far from being an intolerant person, having argued for the liberty of all kinds of nutters. In this thread, I want to try a somewhat different approach: because of the consequences involved in this kind of activity, it'd be downright immoral to be tolerant. And I want to make it brief.
It doesn't matter right now if the war on drugs is misguided or wrong. It exists and, as far as we're all concerned, it must either be repelled through legal action or obeyed. If you really need drugs and want to find a moral loophole, make sure you can either manipulate the necessary substances/plants and make your own narcotics, or buy homegrown if you absolutely know no other crimes are being committed. However, if you buy drugs of unknown origin, I'd like to politely ask you to stop it. Otherwise, if you really need drugs, please overdose.
You may live in comfortable communities where your actions have little if any impact, but the drugs may well have come from some other place. And you're very likely responsible in a way or another for drug-related crime in Mexico: do you really think the routes reaching the borders are a coincidence?
As someone who lives in a developing country, I can assure you that we do not have the means to revert this situation. Poverty is tough enough a problem for us to tackle, and it's already a good source of problems and criminality. If you sponsor these criminals through the acquisitions of the goods they sell, you're only making it harder for us to solve this problem. I've had loved ones kidnapped by drug pushers looking for money, and they have become all too powerful due to their profitable activities.
I'm doing all I can to raise awareness where I live because the situation here is not much better than what's going on in Mexico. However, the world is now flatter than ever, and this is probably a hopeless attempt to do something abroad. But, I'm trying, and I beg you: if you want to do drugs, do the right thing - either do it responsibly or just end yourself because no upstanding citizen deserves to pay for your mindless actions :)
CORe version: If you do drugs, please see the traffic routes in the map above. Other people may be dying so you can get high and, if that's the case, I warmly ask you to end yourself before you do any further damage. Oh, and I ing hate you for that :gsmile: |

Like I said, if you know that's the case and you know the people involved in the process are not part of a bigger chain, then I really couldn't care less. |

| I'm an intolerant person, it comes with the paradox of being tolerant :p , that said, you said exactly my thoughts on drugs. This is why I always troll on my facebook on 4/11. |
