You have probably heard that there is a war on drugs here in the U.S. But as I pointed out in my thread, "My struggle against stupidity," (In others of course) for just about everything you think you know, the opposite is almost certainly the case. There is no war on drugs here in the U.S. If there was, it wouldn't be going on! Any war on drugs that you think you see is just meaningless window dressing. The reason we have a drug problem here in the U.S. is because our government is making money off it!
Don't believe me? Well there was a movie made once called "Air America" that spoke of the U.S. importing drugs into the U.S. during the Vietnam War to help some ally war lord. And it is almost certainly true. Also, in around 1962, a large amount of heroin was seized. Estimated to be worth around 10 to 12 million dollars. (Who knows what it would be worth these days) It is said that it is estimated that it was stolen from some police evidence room sometime before 1970. So what would that kind of evidence be doing hanging around a police station for that long. Shouldn't those who originally had been found with it been prosecuted long before then? Now if somebody like the CIA wanted those drugs back, no doubt they had the ability to do so. No doubt things like that are still going on. And I doubt if they could all be the work of crooked cops. Just as with Laos, no doubt the CIA has been importing drugs to help out some foreign ally war lord. Now of course the government itself doesn't actually distribute those drugs. To do so, they no doubt needed the help of an ally like the Mafia.
Do you think all this is unlikely? Keep in mind that this country prospered from nearly the beginning by selling drugs. The drug was tobacco. At one time it was so valuable that it was accepted as currency.
