Download or read book It s the Kd Stupid written by Mark L. Grotke and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently the fifth goal (Goal 5: Break foreign and domestic drug sources of supply) of the United States drug policy, as delineated in the Strategic Goals and Objectives of the 2000 National Drug Control Strategy resulted in $1.3 billion of military and non-military anti-drug aid being directed toward Colombia. Possible outcomes of this direct aid to Colombia will be a greater involvement in Colombia's internal revolutions and little improvement in the domestic US drug problem. The operative idea for Plan Colombia is that US military and non-military aid will allow the Colombian authorities to defoliate thousands of acres of land now under cultivation to produce cocaine and heroin. The idea is to make cocaine and heroin more expensive in the United States, with the hope that children and young adults who might otherwise try these drugs will be priced out of the market and will not start using them. The payoff is hoped to be fewer new cocaine and heroin addicts and possibly a reduction in crime associated with the trade of these two drugs. The Colombians benefit because reduced income for the various revolutionary groups and drug cartels will commensurately reduce the ability of these groups to oppose the government. It is clear, however, that there is a molecular basis for addiction, and that demand reduction in the US is not seriously addressed by Plan Colombia. Drug consumption, not drug production, drives the drug trade and its associated violence in the US. Plan Colombia calls upon the US military, particularly the Army, to provide significantly increased levels of assistance both to train Colombians and to maintain US supplied equipment. This requirement sets the stage for possible direct US involvement in Colombia's internal problems, as well as subjects US military personnel to the corrosive effects of the drug cartels. Plan Colombia also presents the possibility that if successful in eradicating coca fields, the drug supply problem.

Download or read book Under the Influence written by Preston Peet and published by Red Wheel Weiser. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 986 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This myth-busting anthology cuts through the propaganda to tell the true story of drug use, abuse, and the costly war on friends, families and communities. Author and regular High Times contributor Preston Peet assembles an all-star cast of writers to shine a harsh light on the misinformation peddled by prohibitionists who profit from the War on Some Drugs and Users. Despite the anti-drug hysteria, drugs have been an integral aspect of human life for thousands of years. They cure diseases, ease pain, enhance intelligence, calm nerves, open the doors of perception and alter consciousness. Yet, even with the easing of marijuana restrictions, the War on Some Drugs and Users continues to persecute huge swaths of the population. The reasons why can be found in Under the Influence. The decades and trillions of dollars spent waging war on neighbors, friends and families have done nothing to eradicate drug use and abuse, but they have succeeded in overthrowing governments, tearing apart families and communities, and ensured the rise of international criminal cartels. Under the Influence explains how we came to this state of affairs and how we can bring about real reform. Contributors include Tom Robbins, Paul Krassner, Rick Doblin, Mike Gray, Lonny Shavelson, Daniel Forbes, Steve Wishnia, Cynthia Cotts, Russ Kick, Dr. Stanislav Grof, Daniel Pinchbeck, Paul Armentano, Jacob Sullum, Peter Dale Scott and Robert Anton Wilson.
