Good question. The connection is so intimate that it is now rated pornographic - no one under 18. Especially here in California where they cannot build enough prisons to house those convicted. Last month we started renting space in Colorado because we have so many young, old, gramps, grannies, busted for selling pot and perhaps a little something else. Hey, when a foreign country comes in and takes the jobs oldsters on SS used to get to supplement, grams and gramps are just filling a niche by selling drugs - the business their grandsons were in when they got busted. You must understand that Dep D.A.'s can get a hundred gold stars in one month toward promotion by prosecuting the drug and sex abuse cases rather than 40 per year by concentrating on the manufacturers, transporters into the country (there's that porous border again that so many of you just love) murderers, real child molesters, gangs, assaults on person and property by scum extorting money to stop the assault, and so on.
It is all corrupt, as you see. The real job of any of us is doing what we have to do to not get caught. Problem is, those of us who aren't doing nuthin illegal (oh, there is that pesky word again) pay the tax and personal price of the really bad dudes.
Oh, I give up. You all can bury your heads and think about pretty flowers and cute children with big smiles......I'm taking off for..............

It's hugely related. In the 1970's we got the idea that we could incarcerate out way out of the drug problem: Simply lock up everyone for possession and the drug problem will go away! Well, it didn't work that way, because new people are constantly being born who will grow up to eventually try drugs, and besides, you can get anything you want in prison. Guards smuggle drugs in to make extra money.
The War on Drugs is a disaster. We should "declare victory and get out". Legalize everything, anf the problem, while not going away, will improve.

How many people are in the system for 1/4 bag of weed? Now how many are in there for pounds? Do you think we should legalize drugs and sell them for tax purposes? Ever met a meth addict? Lock their drug dealing @sses up!

Arrest a lot of people for drug possession, sentence them to prison = you need more prisons and the prison companies make more money.

We started sentencing more people to prison, we needed more prisons.

I think we are wasting alot of time, effort and money dealing with drug dealers and drug users.
It would be far better for society if we simply executed them on the spot whenever they were discovered.
