How to Save the World

A young white woman was sentenced to 7 years in federal prison today for the crime of selling people drugs they wanted and needed...*

My father sold the same drugs this woman did in 1960, LEGALLY as a pharmaceutical sales rep. The thing is they were safer and purer and controlled scientifically in production. They were fantastic for losing weight and the negative health consequences were infinitely less than this illegal stuff. It was far better to give the people what they wanted legally than the alternative of locking up hundreds of thousands of people. These drugs are naturally cheap and easy to produce and so since they are attractive to some people it is literally impossible to shut down this industry. All we do is create an incredible violent underground world of illegal drugs where the sellers have to police themselves. The drug war is a complete tragedy. It has hurt our country more than the pandemic and terrorist attacks. Look at this chart** and see what has happened to the USA since Nixon started the drug war in 1970. Our prison population was only 300,000 in 1972 by 2014 it became 2,300,000. We are killing ourselves with bad law.
