1. La "Guerra contra las Drogas" como Instrumento de Opresión y Control.
Numerosos posteos argumentan que la "Guerra contra las Drogas" ha sido desde su inicio un pretexto para la opresión racial y la violencia intervencionista, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. Se señala que esta política ha servido para desestabilizar comunidades, criminalizar a minorías y justificar la militarización y la intervención en otros países.

- The war on drugs was largely an extension of the fight for civil rights and the prison industrial complex.
- The war on drugs, and the war on terror which were both massive failures have now given birth to the war on narcoterrorism, which in practice looks like the trump regime murdering random sailors, while simultaneously pardoning any convicted drug trafficker that cuts them a cheque or asks nicely.
2. Un Negocio Lucrativo y Rentable.
Se enfatiza que la "Guerra contra las Drogas" es un negocio altamente rentable, con intereses creados que buscan perpetuarla. Los beneficios se blanquean en Wall Street y los políticos la utilizan para sonar "duros" y obtener puntos políticos, mientras que los verdaderos beneficiarios son los burócratas y los ricos.

3. Un Fracaso Histórico y Continuo.
La mayoría de los posteos coinciden en que la "Guerra contra las Drogas" ha sido un fracaso rotundo y continuo desde su inicio en los años 70. A pesar de décadas de gasto y escalada, los resultados son nulos o contraproducentes: más drogas disponibles a precios más bajos, aumento de la violencia y encarcelamiento masivo.
- The war on drugs was, is and always be a complete failure.
- Yup. One thing i do know is that over the recent decades, the so-called war on drugs has cost us billions and really hasnt accomplished much.
- After 50 years of the war on drugs, there are more drugs available at cheaper prices. Its time to admit this civil war against americans has been a total failure and end the nixon madness immediately.
- The u.s. Has been fighting a war on drugs for about 90 years. Repeating the same thing and expecting a different outcome is indeed insane.
- And the 55 year failure which is the war on drugs continues.
4. Soluciones Propuestas: Legalización, Regulación y Enfoque en la Demanda.
Ante el fracaso evidente, muchos abogan por un cambio radical de estrategia, proponiendo la legalización y regulación de las drogas, el tratamiento del abuso de drogas como un problema de salud pública y la reducción de la demanda. Se critica la ineficacia de la prohibición y se compara con el éxito de la legalización en otros lugares.
- Legalize regulate educate.
- Prohibition does not work. Never has. Drives people right back to the streets where products are unsafe and untested. Drugs should be regulated and legal.
- The only solution is to go after the root cause. The cause has never been the drugs.
- The war on drugs has been a massive failure and its because prohibition does not work. Education and regulation does.
- The only way to stop drugs is to stop demand. There will always be supply if there is demand.
5. Crítica a la Militarización y la Hipocresía.
Se critica la tendencia a militarizar la respuesta a las drogas, utilizando tácticas de guerra contra poblaciones vulnerables y justificando acciones violentas. La hipocresía de los políticos que promueven la "guerra" mientras se benefician o consumen drogas es un tema recurrente.
- Trumps war on drugs is really a war on the poor and powerless the people who cant afford to pay him off. Theyre the ones who die.
- The drug war has mostly been a cover for other repressive things. Now its being used as a cover for real war.
- The war on drugs is a political talking point load of bullshit!
- The war on drugs, and the war on terror which were both massive failures have now given birth to the war on narcoterrorism, which in practice looks like the trump regime murdering random sailors, while simultaneously pardoning any convicted drug trafficker that cuts them a cheque or asks nicely.
- The war on drugs is a war on people. Legislated for political reasons.
