Why prohibition doesn't end and how this is really causing society a great deal of harm

Today, I just watched Dana Larsen talking about being banned from the federal convention for the NDP Party for so-called offering to sponsor students to attend the convention. These student obviously had to be members of the NDP party to attend as delegates that this "sponsoring" to exist. In addition, all the was covered was travel expenses, nothing more. My question is firstly, is this allowed by other members of the party for the convention or was this the "unconventional" and thus frowned upon or viewed as paying people while otherwise everyone are volunteers.

However, that aside, I am not sure its not being used as an excuse regardless even if its not normally done. I do feel this as Dana has done these conventions before, it is the end prohibition booth that is not wanted rather than Dana violating policies.

What prohibition doesn't do in anyway is achieve what it sets out for which is to end drug use. What prohibition does achieve is causing people who are good and moral people harm by being exposed to exposure to unconstitutional searches, propaganda promoting the use of currently not prohibited drugs including alcohol and pharmaceutical drugs thus leading to increases in use and therefore, potential for harm and addiction and finally, this war achieves innocent lives to be lost both to the victims of the actual war but also the indirect victims that are not commonly discussed and these victims are those whom are already ill.

These victims include people who are in environments that are toxic such as trauma, poverty, malnutirtion, discrimination and other nasty environmental influences that lead people to seek out and treat their pain. when I write this I say people more in the sense of natural instinct of the brain which means that not only does physical pain lead to people wanting to medicate this pain but also when those who experience "pain in the brain" if you will, they do the same. Take drugs and if this is immoral than we need to make all painkillers prohibited as well along with cutting services to thousands of people under pain management services.

We in a sense need a "pain in the brain" management program and I put that into quotations as "pain" really is metaphorical for what I mean at a biological level. It is something that can't be controlled but instead of being in our physical body, it is in our brain likely due to "scars" of what the environment is doing to it. This is at a chemical level and no amount of free will can change this as when your brain isn't working correctly, its not the person's fault. It is the problem of whats around them and this includes taking drugs including alcohol and tobacco which are legal psychoactive substances.

What we need from the political parties is the recognition that this is the case and making drugs prohibited is like making a pain management clinic illegal. We are not talking about handing heroin out to people who have had a bad day, we are talking about providing controlled and regulated medications to help the person who has a serious brain disorder to be in less pain as a result of their disorder, disease or disability (whatever you want to call it). The mental health problems that are experienced often cause great pain in those who experience them but not so much in the physical sense as my knee hurts but rather more, everything hurts from bones to skin, toes to top of the head, it hurts. Aches, all the time with no escape just as person experiences after experiencing an injury due to a car accident or something like that. They have an ache all the time either potentially preventing them to walk properly along with the pain of nerve injury and such.

A person with mental health issues have this in the brain. In the case of the knee injury we know the cause but for the brain, it isn't always so cut and dry. The brain is a complex organ that interacts greatly with its environment which shapes it and allows it to either it function properly or it doesn't. When the brain doesn't work properly, neither do we. This likely includes being aware of our actions, knowing what we want or even abusing drugs or not.

Many people take drugs but only a small amount get addicted. Why? Prohibition doesn't matter, what matters is weather the brain wants to either experience something different or fun (those who are healthy use drugs too and this is normally why) or the brain wants to escape the pain that it is feeling due to the hurt "knee". It isn't their fault just as much as the person who was in the car accident, it is just we understand the car accident better or more easily. However, either way, it is true and we need to accept that drug use is going to exist in our society whether it is abuse or addiction and most often, just plain old use without any harm.

Prohibition is prohibiting good treatment for those with drug abuse problems along with harming those who choose to use drugs aside from those that may be legal even though are not less harmful than those prohibited.

We need to get the political parties to drop prohibition and realizing it is bad policy. We are following something new, a way of providing to both drug users while helping drug abusers to actually recover from a serious brain disorder. We need a sensible drug policy which brings me to the point, we need a policy that works and we need political parties to recognize this and without it, what can we do? How can we get prohibition when our own governmental systems are actually out to get us? We need to stop this and stop trying to end drug use and begin to end drug addiction.

If we want to end drug addiction we have to stop prohibition. It is the only choice and not really discussed.
