What is the Primary Fundamental Right?
The Primary Fundamental Right is the most basic of all human rights. It is the innate right of a person to the ownership of their own body and the right to do what they want to that body.
People who don't believe that the Primary Fundamental Right exists should ask themselves this question; can you do anything you want to your body and not have the possibility of going to jail for doing so? The answer is definitely no. Because of legal constraints we are all slaves. We are not a free people, regardless of what we may think. Therefore all the freedoms we think we have are really illusions unless we own our own bodies. Remember, only slaves cannot make decisions about their own bodies. Every one of us, including the politicians, are owned by our respective governments because of numerous laws, including the drug prohibition laws, that they the politicians have enacted supposedly on instruction from the majority of voters.
The Primary Fundamental Right exists because everything has an opposite and the opposite of these various prohibition laws is the Primary Fundamental Right and all the freedoms that go with it, both personal and economic.
But the drug laws are there to protect us.
Unfortunately with this sort of protection we are definitely doomed. This is because these laws restrict people to using only tobacco and alcohol which kill and maim far more of us than all the illegal drugs, car accidents, plane crashes, murders and 9/11's combined.
We don't have to smoke or drink if we don't want to.
That's true but as it stands today approximately 25% of the adult population smoke and 75% drink alcohol. Many will have a major disease related to their habits by the time they reach their sixties. If less harmful recreational drugs were allowed to be developed in competition to these two drugs, these diseases might be reduced and a much healthier senior citizenry could emerge. On the evidence it looks as if the governments might use this alcohol/cigarette pandemic to reduce the strain on the Social Security system.
Is there really a benefit to the government from these diseases?
The answer is 'Yes' and 'No'. 'Yes' because the size of the industries that have been created to look after those people with smoking and alcohol associated diseases is now huge. There are armies of medical staff in many cancer wards world wide and thousands of employees in the pharmaceutical and associate industries unwittingly relying on the excessive smokers and drinkers to keep them employed. And 'No' there isn't really a benefit because healthy people live longer and the healthier they are, possibly the less chance of them retiring early. When they are working they are contributing to the welfare of everyone. It's only when they retire that they come to draw on 'everybody's' Social Security. Without large tax increases the poor health of many old people, partly as a result of the 'War on Drugs', should cause Social Security to fail by 2012.
Then why won't they let us use other drugs?
At the moment they are very happy for us to use any drugs as long as those drugs remain illegal. If drugs like heroin were legal then possibly less people might use them and nobody would be going to jail and maybe fewer drug addicts would be dying and the usefulness of heroin as a patent free pain killer would be revealed. If the politicians want to stay in power they must ignore all this. They already know that if quality controlled supplies of all drugs were available people who use drugs like heroin would not only be able to afford their drugs without stealing but they'd probably keep their jobs and not die early as they do now. Plus they'd be buying a commodity that produces a new source of tax revenue to help fund many things including the ailing Social Security system. But they can't vote for change because the huge lie about drugs has been so successful that voters wouldn't vote for them anyway. When a child is taught something important from birth to age 7 the imprint is usually permanent and it is hard for them to change their views as adults. Try and make a Christian, a Jew and a Muslim swap religions. Even though they all worship the same God they'd probably rather die first and without really knowing why. Try telling the majority of voters that the Drug Wars is wrong and people should be allowed to make their own decisions and their reaction would probably be much the same.
Maybe more dangerous drugs than what we have now would be developed if it were legal.
Regardless whether they are legal or not they will still be developed if there is a market for them. It's unlikely anything will topple alcohol and cigarettes as the deadliest drugs for quite a while because of their traditional long term appeal, so governments shouldn't worry about any massive untaxed competition.
Besides some politicians, who benefits from the Drug Wars?
Starting with the boys and girls with guns who work for the governments and just love their jobs, it then carries on to the lawyers and the judges and the whole Justice Industry. This includes the explosion of security firms including the prison construction and management industry. Many billions of dollars are involved here. Also the police armaments suppliers, from cars, computers to helicopter manufacturers. Billions and billions again.
