it is well documented that the CIA has paid for much of it's covert operation with money laundered from the sale of cocain and heroin. are the really trying to keep drugs out of america, or are they just trying to have a monopoly?

Dude, you're way off the lunatic fringe charts. Do you really think the CIA needs to get funding from illicit drug trafficking? Lay off of the glue.

I read a Russian assertion that the CIA aided Afghani opium production so Osama and friends would have the moolah to pay for the weapons they were buying from us while fighting the Russians. It makes sense, but then again, I read it on Pravda.

I think its just job security because it is a forever job nobody can win, its like the space station its a job but there is no really game plan like drugs you can fight forever with no avail, we spend like 10 billion dollars a year to fight just marejuna where other countries its legal, and those countries have excellent health care where if we just stopped fighting something people are gonna do anyway we could start a health care system...so no to saving lives, because they could spend the money to fight on health care, but i'm sure everybody fighting it has great coverage....

If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.

Drugs should be legalized and restricted like alcohol or tobacco, I hold that anyone who doesn't thing drugs should be legal are American.
Being anti-drug use is one thing, but fining, jailing and killing people who want to use drugs is the most American thing I have ever seen happen in my life.
Freedom people, freedom. Stop your whining about drug addicts. It is THEIR fault. Sure, boo hoo hoo, drugs ruin lives. But so does everything if you abuse it. The people who constantly tell me that drugs are evil piss me off, but the people that tell me drug users should be in jail make me sick. Traitors to the American Ideal, that's what drug-war supporters are.

We would make countless billions more dollars by legalizing illicit drugs and taxing them heavily.
