I say mandatory drug test on all politicians as well checking in on who they are “with” before they vote on anything.

They won’t do this, though, not because of some higher moral obligation…

…but because of moral bankrupcy.

Better yet, they can make money by putting brown people in jail.

This is a huge side effect, yes. The War on Drugs is the major funding source for for-profit prisons, which end up incarcerating a lot of minorities for minor drug infractions. White people get incarcerated too, but at a lesser rate since, statistically speaking, if you’re white you’re more likely to be able to afford a lawyer to settle your case for probation and community service rather than jail time.

I always figured it was so they could put more brown people in jail.

A hypocritical politician … never seen that before. I say drug test every politician every time they show up for work. Especially after they have played a round of golf.

See, he is qualified to promote the continued prohibition – because he knows the damage it causes. He knows that you can be arrested for it, and get into big trouble, and it can really mess up your life. We have to keep it illegal to protect the youth from this danger, you see.

There’s also those who know they can’t handle it, and want it illegal because of that.

Here’s the thing I think most people miss about the Republican establishment being anti-drug. They aren’t against it because they think it is immoral. As happens time and again, we find that they are just as likely to use drugs as anyone else. They are against legalizing drugs because the government’s War on Drugs is a fantastic way for them to launder money into the pockets of the people who bankroll their campaigns. You could offset the ENTIRE cost of the sequester by giving up on the outrageous failure that is the War on Drugs http://www.infowars.com/stopping-the-failed-war-on-drugs-would-more-than-pay-for-the-sequester-cuts/ They won’t do this, though, not because of some higher moral obligation but because of corruption and greed.

Nah, it’s a case of being somewhat ashamed and having to make an extreme public stance against what you enjoy just to feel OK about it, plus the belief that other people ‘do it wrong’ or can’t handle it, or aren’t as fundamentally decent as you.
