But you’re pretending we’re not arguing over drug “liberalisation”, so which is it? Am I arguing with you over that, or something else?
The only point of disagreement is
So you get to ignore all the stupid mistakes you made, and say what the conversation is about? Seems like you haven’t had any conversations in real life…
I think you need to work on your persuasive writing and debating skills
Oh God, more of this. It’s so clear what you value and what you pretend to be. Like when you thought that you’d win an argument by yelling out “fallacy”, as if that meant that another person has to be wrong. Showing so clearly that you think that is an incredibly clear sign of how immature you are, philosophically.
You’re pretending you don’t know what an implication is (while still arguing based on what you think I implied), you’re pretending like drug wars didn’t start in the 20th century, and you’re pretending you didn’t say all the stupid shit you did. So, what do you think of the book? (Which you haven’t read, like you’ve not read any others on the subject either.)
The drug wars obviously didn’t start in the 20th century with Nixon’s war on drugs. For example Britain fought two opium wars in China in ths 18/19th C. to force the export of opium to those communities to balance our trade deficit with tea. China had tried to ban opium several times before but I suppose it’s just that some western propaganga is to blame?
Then there is the temperance movement which started in the late 19th century and had alcohol prohobited for many years in the states.
There is something ingrained in people that distrust drugs, and therefore make propaganda campaigns like the war on drugs a vote winner.
Anyway I really didn’t mean to reply again to this thread. Have a good rest of your day!
The term “war on drugs” was popularized by the media after a press conference, given on June 17, 1971, during which President Richard Nixon declared drug abuse “public enemy number one”. He stated, "In order to fight and defeat this enemy, it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive. … This will be a worldwide offensive.
This is evident from a whole lot of historic facts — all of which you’re unaware of, obviously.

Quite frankly, I thank you for the entertainment.

A “war ON drugs” is a bit different from “a war FOR drugs”. Perhaps you don’t speak English?
The opioid wars weren’t wars ON drugs.
Genuinely I wonder how people like you aren’t ashamed to post. Genuinely baffles me.
You don’t even read the comments you reply to. Vice laws have been tried several times in history.
You just don’t know your fucking history, yet you’re childish enough to argue me without even having a fucking point. It’s pathetic.
It’s generally accepted the war on drugs “really” began in the 70’s, in the form it is today.
