Kinda fucking stupid how the war on drugs disproportionately affects poor people because poor people don’t always have the means to do their drugs in private or “acceptable” settings.

It would be a good dose of karma if the kids from rich families who can do drugs without impunity had to suddenly face criminal charges like a poor person.

Maybe calling the cops isn’t even necessary (they probably won’t even show up, because cops). We could just record them doing drugs and submit that as evidence.

      There are literally millions of regular drug users in every country that has prohibition. If the average Joe can get away with it, do you think the rich care? Use some basic common sense.

        If they can get away with it

        What about the people who don’t get away with it?

            Yes… so the laws against drugs aren’t affecting the people in power that can change them.

              Exactly. So waiting until rich people are “inconvenienced” is pointless. They won’t be.

              They don’t get away with it because some petty kid isn’t narcing on them, they get away with it because money buys legal outcomes.

                Sorry, I’m not going to continue this discussion further with you.

                Have a nice day.

                    Ahh, one more thing before I block you.

                    You were just wasting my time with nonsense and clearly couldn’t follow a basic conversation. I’m not continuing the discussion because you are not worth my time.

                    Goodbye now.
