	Arguments To Make Americans Fear Prohibition

		The drug czar thinks drug dealers are immoral thugs preying on innocent customers who are too stupid to make their own choices, yet he wants to continue the same.

		The prohibition of drugs through legislation or religious law is a common means of controlling the perceived negative consequences of recreational drug use at a society- or world-wide level.
		Present-day attempts to enforce drug prohibition in the U.S. are frequently considered to be part of the ongoing War on Drugs instituted by President Richard Nixon in 1971.

	War on Drugs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The War on Drugs is an initiative undertaken by the United States to carry out an "all-out offensive" (as President Nixon described it) against the use of certain legally controlled drugs.
		Drug traffickers originally imported most coca base from traditional producers in Peru and Bolivia for processing in Colombia, until eradication efforts in those countries resulted in a "balloon effect".
		Thus began the rise of a culture that is still romanticized in popular media; drug cartel groups and families including Pablo Escobar's reign over Medellín became the norm in areas where the drug trade was an important part of the local economy.

	The Drug War as a Socialist Enterprise by Milton Friedman
		The war on drugs and the harm which it does are simply manifestations of a much broader problem: the substitution of political mechanisms for market mechanisms in a wide variety of areas.
		The war on drugs is a failure because it is a socialist enterprise.
		The reason why the prohibition of drugs is not a case of the administration of justice is because the drug user, whether he's smart or foolish or not, harms primarily himself.

	ARM YOURSELF AGAINST THE "WAR ON DRUGS"
		The so called "War on Drugs" is in reality a war of cultural prejudice waged primarily against the young, the poor, the non-white and the socially disaffected to the advantage of the Elected, the Corporate, the Privileged and the Few.
		However, the current policy of prohibition and criminalization of drugs does not reduce drug abuse or the harms drugs cause.

	Sheriff Bill Masters, The New Prohibition: Voices of Dissent Challenge the Drug War
		Drug policy should then be placed on a continuum ranging from continued prohibition to outright legalization.
		It is also time to recognize that federal mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drugs have become a wellspring of injustice that puts petty offenders away for draconian sentences while major drug dealers beat the rap by ratting out their underlings.
		But in the face of evidence that showed him the War on Drugs was more of a problem than the drugs themselves, and his notion that there are better ways to deal with those drug problems not actually caused by enforcement activities, he determined that repeals and reforms were the only logical way to proceed.

		Category five drugs are classified that way, not because they are illegal (in fact, they are illegal because they are classified as Cat 5 drugs…) but because there is a more than even risk that if you use the drug - even once - it will be harmful to you.
		The DEA has classified such drugs not as harmful but, rather, as “having no medical benefit” or “having a high likelihood of abuse.” To demonstrate the arbitrary nature this scheduling one only has to look at the classification of heroine v morphine.
		The profits generated by the war on drugs are used by terrorists to support their ideological war on modernity.

	DRCNet Interview: Jack Cole, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (8/16/02) \| Stop the Drug War (DRCNet)
		Stop the Drug War (DRCNet) is an international organization working for an end to drug prohibition worldwide and for interim policy reform in US drug laws and criminal justice system.
		The police are supposed to be the front-line warriors in the drug war, so when law enforcement figures defect from prohibitionist orthodoxy, as has prominently been the case with former San Jose Police Chief Joseph McNamara and former New Haven Police Chief Nicolas Pastore, their arguments are especially forceful.
		The emergence of a new group of law enforcement drug war dissidents, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://www.leap.cc), thus marks an important crack in the solid wall of police support for the drug war.

	'Just World News' by Helena Cobban: Interview with Zahhar
		The "pro-Israel" arguments against the applicability of the Geneva Conventions are in general frivolous, but this particular one is the lowest of the low.
		As I stated earlier, the whole argument about “the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war” and the illegality of settlements would be far more compelling if these international principles were applied with the same degree of interest and intensity to, for example, the Turkish areas of Cyprus, Nagorno Karabakh and Tibet.
		I have also read arguments that the issue is moot as it is governed by the rule that long standing control of land ends its status as occupied land.

	Concurring Opinions: Constitutional Law Archives
		The case was extraordinarily hard, and Stevens assigned himself the opinion, despite knowing that: (i) very talented dissenters would level a slew of pretty good arguments against him, and (ii) Kennedy’s vote has not proven, shall we say, 100% reliable in such cases.

		I call this technique of reading statutes narrowly to permit subnational disagreement "interstitial empowerment." By contrast, in the hallucinogenic tea case, he brushed aside the argument that Congress' mention of peyote was meant to be exclusive--therefore licensing judicial creativity in spelling out future exemptions to the CSA based on religious-observance grounds.

		International Criminal Court (ICC) are (1) that the ICC does not exist because only 42 of the required 60 signatory nations have ratified the Rome Statute, and (2) that the ICC is unlikely to adopt the death penalty.
		Attempts to defend against it by hardening domestic targets cannot work, nor can one rely on pre-emption by taking the war to the terrorists before they attack.
		The article examines why UN sanctions against Iraq were deemed "necessary in the name of international peace and security despite their negative humanitarian consequences," it attempts to identify the "institutional failings which contributed towards such a policy," and it recommends "alternative approaches".
