Weed's Social Political Implications

Poor misguided hippies. Spewing their misinformed political views on marijuana and it's social impacts. "It's not hurting anyone" they say, whether the cognitive association part of a stoner's brain is being severely retarded or they just don't care about anything other than themselves.

Drugs indeed hurt people, let's take marijuana for example, it is owned and operated by organized crime. Hippies advocate distrust in the greedy government and big businesses and do drugs because it's a natural none conformist way of living that doesn't hurt anyone. From my point of view, doing drugs is effectively funding the organized crime world, who in turn use the profits from drug sales to fund even worse crimes. Buying guns and weapons.

But could any other outcome have come from the governments war on marijuana? They've been funding the anti-weed war since the beginning of the 1900's, pouring billions into the propaganda with little to no victory to show for it. Of course organized crime found and exploited the market of marijuana, just look at the history of the alcohol prohibition, the crime syndicates bootlegged booze and made a fortune from the illegal activities. While citizens are being prosecuted for drug use and unable to acquire the substance from anywhere other than the criminals, the criminal community will continue to profit from drug operations. The war on drugs has not worked and perhaps needs a new method of operation.

Sure, the government could simply legalize the weed, certified corporations would  take over the market and run the crime syndicates out of the industry in a matter of months. And under the government regulations of the new drug industry, the government will be able to collect a fortune in taxes, special fees and all the other benefits of capitalism. Adopting the legal practices of some countries around the world that legalize marijuana, treating it similar to alcohol, with age limits, volume regulations, location usage, public decency, etc. It might work, it might be worth review by government officials and law makers. Perhaps in a way the medicinal practices are already a step in this direction, however I've heard a lot about doctors giving prescriptions to just about anyone without a legitimate medical reason, but that might just be a bunch of nonsense.

International Prison Idea

China has possibly the densest humans per square mile out of any country in the world. Thus land is a scarce resource. China, like all nations has criminals and fiends that must be removed from the general public. China and North Korea are allied nations. In many ways, N. Korea is to China as Cuba is to the United States. Could it be a good idea for China, in collaboration with N. Korea to build a maximum security prison in Korea for the most hardened criminals, terrorists and public enemies?

Building China's max security prison on North Korean land would have many benefits to both nations. It would free up space in China that could be used for better things. Bring many jobs to Korea, especially in the construction field which could then be used to develop the nation's own infrastructure, and Korean's along with Chinese personal could be employed as guards, wardens and many other positions that would have many lasting benefits. Also the laws China has for it's prisoners could be usurped while on N. Korean land thus granting the government limited restrictions that could be very important especially in time sensitive cases.

But why not take it a step further, why not build a bigger better prison, a prison owned and operated by all nations so the United Nations, where all of the world's worst foremost criminals could be sent. Having a unified set of rules on the treatment of prisoners and streamlining the operations of this prison institute. Perhaps it could be on an island somewhere, maybe it would need to be in international waters, but that would make things more difficult because transporting back and forth would be more expensive and time consuming, but it would make securing the island more effective and be better for securing international ownership issues because it wouldn't be in any one nation's border.

Perhaps the idea of a UN prison wouldn't be as easy as it sounds. Sure the United Nations do good work is regulating the worlds nations and organizing global coordination. But for the whole world to agree on the operations of a prison, that might be a stretch from their ability. Countries around the world have a wide array of methods for their prisons, both ethical, legal, social and so forth that will conflict and possibly tear the project apart. Also there isn't any real need for such a prison, and the dispute of financing the project, the world economic states right now isn't one that should be spending on a new jail right now.
