I can’t recommend the Tom Woods show highly enough.
I listen to it daily through my smartphone as I drive. I use a Android
application called Stitcher. Stitcher probably isn’t the best designed
application but it is a good aggregation service, I download my daily shows
via my home network wifi before I leave for work. That saves on cellular
network bandwidth costs. Tom’s show is only about thirty minutes which
makes it perfect for a commute.
Regulation doesnt improve the safety. What improves safety is publicity. If
the drugs would be sold openly then the dealers would have a clearer
reputation. The drugs could and would be tested and so the information
would be available for the buyer about who sells pure and who doesnt. There
is no testing when drugs are illegal and the reputation of the dealers is
limited because people are afraid to talk openly and old dealers get busted
so buyers have to take risks with new ones.
This simple country judge doesnt understand that the government is the
problem. Coercion is the problem. He sees the prohibition problems because
of his job but he doesnt see the regulation problems. Some other judge sees
them in pharma. He doesnt get the big picture. The principle of why freedom
works. He wants to go straight from banning testing to forcing testing.
We need more judges that “know” this for a fact that the drug war is
destructive not only to user, but to neighborhoods, cities and towns. The
big banks are involved neck deep in laundering and nothing happens even
when government has busted them. The prison industrial complex is ripe for
investment based on the drug war bust of low lever users. The law is
criminal, not the use.

End… the…. war… on…. drugs.
PS I voted for this man & Gary Johnson in 2012.
Time for a change in thinking. We are in debt to the tune of almost 18
trillion dollars. Should we be using resources prosecuting potheads.
