Comment on Sagan, you look high.
Dengalicious@lemmygrad.ml 1 day agoThat is a problem with the current state. In a future socialist state we can eliminate it without these issues. If a couple people face punishments for selling a drug, I am hardly going to be opposed to that. Marijuana kills many people so they deserve to face just a little bit of the harm that they helped contribute to. Drug tests hardly infringe of people’s bodies. Do you know what does? Hitting someone in a car because a driver was high. Random drug tests are one of the best tools we have to eliminate drug sales. The only other method that would be anywhere near as a effective would be the government undercutting suppliers by selling at a lose and poisoning it but there are many potential ethical issues with that don’t exist with random drug tests. Not to mention that I specifically referred to treatment centers rather than prisons which you conveniently forget about.

You started this entire thread by saying “Dangerous drugs need to be kept off the streets through any means”. Present tense. Any means. Don’t play stupid, we don’t live in a future socialist state. We live in the existing racist, fascist capitalist one that has demonstrably only used the drug war to create mass systems of enslavement. So why don’t you shut the fuck up about hypothetical idealist futures and talk about existing reality? Are you even a marxist with this utopian idealist nonsense?

In the existing reality, this method is still preferable to the current status quo as it would be effective still. You aren’t going to stop racism by legalizing drugs but you are going to let many, many innocent people be killed and exploited by junkies and the seller gangs and cartels. Clearly ignoring the problem isn’t working so stepping up the game is the next step.
