In what universe did they lose the war on drugs? Marijuana never got rescheduled. People still get their lives ruined over it. It’s impossible to consume cannabis and be gainfully employed at the same time in the US and a sickening majority of people STILL believe this is how things should be. Corporations collude together to make sure they’re all using the exact same drug testing procedures so that really valuable people can’t just decide to go somewhere that treats them better. Yet they do nothing to fight with or systematically harm people who consume alcohol when off duty or come into work hungover.
All the states with lower costs of living are still allowed to put people in jail for possession. And people fight to keep it this way. They made Florida ballot initiatives need a 60% to pass just to defeat the recent marijuana amendment and NO ONE FUCKING CARED. This is far from “losing” the war on drugs.
My brother got a phd and works a shitty government job because that’s basically his only option. He became a severe alcoholic, had a stroke a few years later and now worships maga and Elon. Fuck the entire war on marijuana ideology and everyone that supports it. I’m glad your life and your loved ones aren’t getting fucked very hard by it. The fact that at least some people are winning in spite of it all is good at least.
If you know of an industry where I can use my 2 tech degrees to do anything besides pass thc drug tests I’d love to hear it.
