A Possible Solution to Decriminalizing Drugs in America

Hey I just got an idea. Maybe a great way to protest the drug laws, and to show the general public and the government how many people are drug users, there should be a mass organized surrender to the authorities. Have millions of people all across the country turn themselves in with drugs in hand. They couldn't possibly deal with this load of people. It would be similar to the immigration situation with Mexico. With so many of them it's impossible to put them all in jail or deport them. They are part of the countries economy. Imagine if doctors and lawyers and policemen were turning themselves in for doing drugs all over. This might change some people's minds. Also many of the politicians family members. Like Dick Cheney's daughter being lesbian certainly must have changed his views on homosexual marriage laws. Imagine the detrimental effect this would have to the economy if everyone was arrested.

It would be great if people would actually do it. Sad part is most of them would probably be too high and miss the date. Not to mention, how would you reach everyone? The tv would be off limits and most crackheads on street corners don't have the net.

I would reach them by any means possible. That includes mass media. Let the government know it's going to happen. Let the whole thing build up for a year or so and have a proposed date that it will go down. The issue needs to be out in the open so that it can be discussed and the arguments can be heard. There could be an official website with a ticker that indicates how many people are willing to do it. The thing is, if people believe that it will work and that they won't be imprisoned than many people could be persuaded to do it. Also, just think of all the family members that are not drug users and how it would affect them if their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters etc were facing long term imprisonment. Don't you think they would want to become politically active on the matter. Perhaps if the government were aware that this were going to happen, they would begin changing the laws before anyone actually had to stick their neck out so that the chaos could be avoided.

This idea only works if you can get tons of people in on it though. The way to do that is to convince them that they won't go to jail. If in all the major cities, all the drug users turned themselves in there would not be enough room in the jails to hold them all. But besides that, the burden on the government would be way to great to process all of the cases. The people in America that are against drug use and their legalization would have to accept the fact that their are so many people in America that use drugs that it will not be possible for drugs to remain illegal. People will finally understand that it is a personal choice and that PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO THEMSELVES AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT ANYONE OR ANYTHING ELSE. It's called FREEDOM and this country is supposed to care about that.

I saw this idea happen at overgrow.com, R.I.P., a couple years back. Too many ppl are either fearful it wouldn't work therefore wouldn't actually risk losing everything to goto jail. I don't mean to be paranoid either but what about the big 'concentration' camps halliburton has set up for illegals huh? There's no illegals in them yet, plenty of room and little policy change, us heads become like Jews in 1940's Germany. Sorry my fiancees mother is completely crazy and puts awful ideas in my head... I personally wouldn't worry about losing everything I'm just telling you most people are too in touch with their so called 'reality'.

americans are too attached to their plastic house/car/job/wife/and kids consumerist lifestyle to stand up against any wrong doings constantly being caried about by the government. the people are fed fear daily to keep their true values suppressed. is is obvious that the spirits of 300,000,000 human beings cannot be locked in a cage forever..
so when then the beast finally awakes and breaks out.
the moneymen will know exactly what to do.
and this is where detention camps come into the picture.

Damn, that's scary shit. Thanks for finding that. I would still do it even if I was gonna get locked up, but I'm sure not many others would. If you gotta go to jail to fight for freedom then so be it. I wish more Americans were willing to stand up for their rights and get organized. I think this issue will not be solved by pleas for legislation. There has to be some kind of large scale demonstration.

The more they lock up the more it will enrage. If they set martial law into action and people start disappearing, there will be way more people rioting than they can hope to contain in their "camps". And if they start disposing of people to make room for more all hell will break loose once the masses get wind of it.
It almost seems like some fictional story in a scary movie or something. But those camps aren't fictional and those executive orders aren't either. I just pray it never comes down to that in my lifetime.

I don't know, the only types of people that have the bravery to riot would be minorities.
Maybe if upper/middle class white people had their family members disappear and then a riot happened nearby them, maybe then they would join though.
But how can you riot when we have all this wonderful technology? Microwave beams....... chemical weapons which are illegal for us to devleop, but we do it anyway.... all sorts of non-lethal automatic tazers?
The Germans didn't riot.....
anyway I think this is a great idea though. What you would need to do is go into a big city and start a movement with all the drug users, getting them to commit to this, then you can all write the media and say "we have x amount of people that are going to turn themselves in for drugs" and the media will air it.
then other people will start other branches.

Enforce martial law and it will be horrible for business. That's when everyone will get pissed. Which if that link about those prisons is accurate, which it appears to be, then those camps are to enforce martial law.
It will just take that one major benchmark for the masses to see tyranny and when that comes all hell will break loose. One good instance of mass murder would do it. Not to mention the "upper-middle class" are becoming extinct anyway. The majority are much closer to the poverty line and below.
But I too agree this is a good idea if it could be organized, which would but a monumental task, to say the least.

Walk straight into Oinktown with drugs in hand?
You go first.
Even if ten percent of the population went to prison the super rich would find a way to make a profit out of it. Prisons are already for profit. It would just mean more free slave labor for the billionaires. I wish like hell even just weed could be decriminalized but it's hopeless. The smart thing to do is to get the fuck out of America.

Send the idea to a producer who is willing to turn it into a movie, kind of like a Fahrenheit (sp?) 911- V for Vendetta cross. It would definately catch the attention of the people (Controversial movies always grab media attention) plus it's more feasible than persuading masses of people to go to jail with you... ... in a perfect world the masses would be willing to cooperate, but in a perfect world all drugs would be legal soooooo.. you're asking too much of our imperfect society.

Helluva good idea. A documentary that travels the US talking to people about legalizing drugs and seeing how many people would be willing to do my idea. It would give all the best statistics and arguments for legalizing. That would be the best way possible to spread my idea and also change people's minds about the issue. I really might just do that.

I came up with an idea, too. Perhaps we could implement a system that allows people to earn "drug credits" for hours of community service. Then, for every credit they have, they can purchase a dose of drugs at a liquor/drug store. If you perform community service, the priviledge of drug consumption is bestowed upon you. I never really believed in the right to drop out of society for the sake of crack, so maybe EARNING the right to use drugs can change people's minds about the more detrimental effects. Plus, it may have an effect on crime since money alone won't let people buy drugs, and that homeless person won't have to rob people for his crack money.
I'm sure this would be very difficult, if not impossible, to apply to the U.S., but I just thought it was a step in the right direction toward changing people's attitudes towards drugs. Also, if people become addicted, they will have to service the community and improve the quality of life for everyone if they REALLY want that fix. Could a system such as this one work?
