I recently caught 4 Bahamian drug runners off the coast of Cuba about 3 weeks ago. We recovered 45 bales of marijuana.
Don't take this the wrong way (any time someone starts off like that you should totally take it the wrong way) but, if you don't think marijuana is a narcotic, how on earth can you do your job if you don't agree with it in principle?
And I know lots of people do things they don't want to do for the money, but you don't do your job
just for the money, do you? Yours isn't that type of job. It seems more like a career that you seek because you truly believe in the work being done.
But you don't...at least when it comes to marijuana you don't, and that's what you mostly go after.
So how do you do it? How can you arrest people, at gun point I imagine, for transporting something that you don't even consider a narcotic?
But there is another way of handling things that I also disagree with, and those are the people who facilitate addicts.
Then your beef should be with the job market and unemployment and a bad economy, and etc, etc, etc. That
is what usually sends people to the drugs in the first place.
But besides, addicts aren't at a shortage of people who will facilitate drugs and things to help them shoot up with, that's a fact. Like Chris Rock said, "You don't need to
sell drugs, drugs sell themselves."
What these facilities do is provide a safer way to do what they were already going to do. Which has a greater overall benefit to the user and society too.
These people are complicit in the deaths of the very people they try to help because they're enablers.
Look at it this way, do you know how many people have died from marijuana use? Zero
Do you know how many people have died
because marijuana is illegal? A shit load
In a controlled manner, it is rare for a drug to kill a person. But on the streets it kills people by the shit load.
So which would you rather have legalized drugs under the watchful eye of trained personel, or illegal, uncontrolled use on the streets? That's what it boils down to.
