If all drugs were legalized, with proper education of the populace on safety of drugs, the world would be a much better place.

So end this ahistorical World Civil Class and Race War on a Selection of Drugs. RIGHT NOW. Here’s a text I wrote about the US war, but it can be equally used to indict Japan’s war crimes in this matter:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It is in the nature of war that all wars are wasteful. But not all wars are senseless.

Yet to fight a war without applying the best available objective, empirical, scientific, and expert analyses, at all possible levels and opportunities— and without taking actions and crafting policies that implement the letter and spirit of the results of these findings— is to fight a war literally without intelligence… in both senses of the word.

Sun Tzu dictates that to fight a war without intelligence, is to seek a guarantee that the war will be both wasteful and senseless.

The War on Drugs is not an artful war, and it is not a war fought with intelligence— rather it is a malignant, superstitious relic from the dark ages… the World Wars, and Jim Crow. Begun three score and fifteen years ago, in the ashes of the First Prohibition on alcohol, this Second Prohibition has in fact proven with each passing year to be even more baseless and reprehensible than its predecessor. Looking clearly and dispassionately at the evidence, we can only rationally conclude that the War on Drugs has been a senseless waste of human lives and treasure.

This is America’s longest war. Make no mistake— this is a real war, a shooting war, with hundreds of thousands of real deaths and POWs. And it is at the same time a fake war, a manufactured war— launched upon lies, without a scrap of evidence, and continued flying in the face of decades of reputable scientific research and good intelligence. It is also a civil war… which our own governments are fighting against the people of the world. With our own money.

This is a war that is tearing families and friends apart, making enemies of natural allies, and pitting brother against brother.

This is a war that all of us are losing… right now, as I write this.

We the People will no longer respect the authority of governments, or their attendant laws and agents, that wage civil war on their own people.

Any governing body that upholds unscientific legislation of broadly and acutely harmful effect— in this, the 21st Century— deserves not just the scorn, but even the open rebellion of its constituents.

In this 21st Century, we not just as Americans but as the most powerful single community in our global human civilization will face a host of cold, hard, life and death challenges, with the highest stakes imaginable— from artificial intelligence to disease control to mass extinction to genetic engineering to overpopulation to climate change, to name a few, and on to challenges we haven’t realized or even imagined yet.

These are wars that will have to be fought with intelligence, and the vision to plan 40 or 400 years ahead… not 4 years ahead. To meet them successfully, the challenges of tomorrow demand of us today the broad and successful implementation of scientific recommendations— at the personal, local, federal, and global levels.

The future is far too dangerous for us to accept anything but a humanistic government that believes in science, and proceeds in its policies from that belief. Because it is the choices we make today, on scientific issues like this one, that— taken together in the vast swirling whole of human endeavor across the globe— will decide whether the future of human civilization rests in shining cities, or in drowned worlds.

Any government in the 21st Century— particularly one as large and powerful as the United States— that does not proceed from a basis of scientific principles, is more than merely quaint or obsolete.

It is a menace to our survival. It is a menace, in fact, not only to the long term well-being and survival of its own citizens— but it is a menace to the survival of the human species as a whole.

It is a wasteful war to reform such governments.

But it is not a senseless war.

Sisters and brothers— citizens of the world, my fellow Americans. It is time for us to find another way.

It’s time for all of us to end the War on Drugs. Together. It is time to speak out, to educate, to petition, to reform, and to rebel. It’s time to medicalize, to legalize, to regulate, and to tax. It’s time to release, rehabilitate, and reintegrate the prisoners. It’s time to be humane, to be responsible, and to move on together— to the real challenges we share.

Science brought us to the Moon and Franklin. Superstition brought us to Salem and McCarthy.

Help us to end this modern witch hunt. Around the world. Today.

I’ll see you in the future.

Are you the Savior? Come here to save smokers from themselves??????
