'Nearly half of all Americans say they have tried marijuana. That makes them criminals in the eyes of the law. Luckily, not all of them have been found out – but when one is grateful that most law-breakers go undetected, there is something wrong with the law.'   YES, there is something wrong with the law, when the law is made by elites to deliberately criminalize millions of poor people so as to further brutalize them. See Financial Times columnist Clive Crook (good name!) writing about Prohibition- A criminally stupid war on drugs in the US When elites do something as overtly and obviously dysfunctionally stupid as promoting Prohibition and a 'War on Drugs' then there is almost always a covert reason for why they are doing it, too. Same is true with all their other war making policies. When a 'Global War on Terrorism' produces more terrorism than it eliminates yet the elites keep on pushing it, then there is a covert reason for doing that, too. What would those covert reasons be? Begging the elites to stop it because their overt reasons don't add up right just will not succeed. They continue to do what they are doing for hidden reasons, and often even hidden from themselves reasons as well. One of those hidden reasons is that what the program is really about is building a security apparatus to protect themselves, and not really to be used against drug spread and terrorism spread. They simply need a society blindly following authoritarian orders that are used to keep themselves, the elites, in power. Consider these 'wars' as excuses to build a security structure around themselves. It is a welfare program for the building of a group of security 'servants' for the top dogs. It is a program to make the lower classes of society more miserable and therefore more demoralized and self-destructive. Demoralized and self-destructive people are less able to rebel when there is military, courts, and police around every corner of their lives.
