Thanks SimPattyK, for an enjoyable chunk of time spent here just now!
Interesting that Alex Jones said (paraphrasing), the only reason there are illegal drugs is that they are naturally grown, thus no patents, and so big Pharma can't own them. The irony is that Pharma drugs kill more people than illegal drugs, and there is no policing the makers/providers.
I know from my own reading that if you follow the money in the world traffic of illegal drugs, you will find at the hidden top are governments, politicians, bankers, elites--part of the reason for the war in Afghanistan.
Perhaps that's why Tony Bennett called for the legalization of illegal drugs. I agree, since it would put an end to much of the carnage in the drug wars, and our police budgets would be put to protecting citizens from the other crimes that really endanger us.
