Maybe these people cling to drug prohibition because all they have to do is marginalize people, because they live in a marginalized region, not part of the greater landmass that is Europe so they would not have anything to do if they did not. I don't think that the larger regions of Europe has much people that have the same mindset as our hapless fear driven people. They advocate harm reduction, and even if they do not they do not treat everything like a war and send the troops in on their homeland, look at the UK. not to long ago some psychedelics were completely legal to purchase. it seems also like maybe these people in Washington are so crazy or disconnected from reality that they fear losing their grip on reality or their grounding of what they believe the world to be if they do not have something (eg:drug prohibition) to hold onto that they would lose all touch with reality and. Yet their craziness kills people every single day like a genocide or plague on the people. They are holding America and the rest of the world back with their policy and influence, just look at what Anslinger acheived with this(not in a good light). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI2e0LF6nf0 look at how much damage that one man has caused for the world because of his stereotypes of a group of people. This is a genocide. Say it with me Prohibition Is Genocide. ‪#‎ProhibitionIsGenocide‬
