Don Henry Ford supports the war on drugs because, "Make no mistake about it. Total legalization of cocaine and heroin is akin to letting people walk around with loaded automatic weapons...."

That statement hysterical nonsense. Here are the facts. Cocaine and heroin were legal and widely available in the U.S. untill 1914.  And millions of people were not running around murdering each other.  Opiates and cocaine are valuable medicines which have served mankind throughout history.  These plant drugs are also the safest drugs.  They have been safely produced and consumed for hundreds of years.

Currently, millions of people such as doctors, medical technicians, pharmacists, and licensed producers have legal access to these drugs and,
they do not run around murdering people.

The people who do run around with automatic weapons are government drug fighters who routinely murder peasant farmers all over the planet for the "crime" of producing plant medicines.  These "drug free" drug fighters also poison the land, water, and families of these farmers.  Mr. Ford and his fellow illegalizers such as Bush, Cheney, Asscraft, etc. are the people who authorize these murders, assaults, and prisons.  As a result of illegalization, all of these murders are legal. That is what the law is all about, guns, violence, prisons, and legalized murder.

All professional killers such as soldiers who work for governments are all tested to insure that they are "drug free".  Likewise, the Islam "extremeists" who kill with automatic weapons are also "drug free". They are all illegalizers like Ford, Bush, etc.  In fact, the U.S. government gave millions of dollars to the Taliban for their drug wars.

The war on drugs is a lie.  In fact, it is a war against people.  It is people, not drugs, who are being murdered, assauled, robbed, and imprisoned. And, all this state-sponsored terrorism is legal.  It is authorized by the
illegalizers.

Mr. Ford and his fellow illegalizers need to be informed that adults who refuse to be told what they may eat, drink, smoke, or otherwise ingest are not criminals anymore than those who refuse to be told what they may read, write, think, or believe.  Mr. Ford does not have the right to illegalize drug users anymore than the Nazis had the right to illegalize the Jews.

It is the Drug fighters and illegalizers who are the criminals because they kill, assault, rob, and arrest peaceful human beings. They are also
terrorists because they target civilians.

I have a few questions for Mr. Ford.  Suppose that a heavily armed gang attacked you, threw you to the ground, pushed your face into the pavement, pointed guns at your head, and blew your head off if you resisted, just because they did not approve of your diet -- would you say
that they were violent criminals or would you conclude that you were the violent criminal?

Suppose that same gang kicked down your door, invaded and ransacked your home, terrorized your family, stole your property, and murdered anyone who resisted, just because some people did not approve of what you chose to eat drink or smoke -- would you conclude that your family
were the criminals?

If you were given a taste of your own medicine, would you be cured of your violence, ignorance, and inhumanity?

Regarding the drugs that he would allow, Mr. Ford needs to be informed that the adult population of this planet are not children and heis not
their father.  They do not want, seek, or need his permisssion to do anything.

In any case, Mr. Ford has it backwards.  It is the drug fighters who are running around with guns destroying people's lives.
