If rich people were charged as much as poor people for drug charges, the war on drugs would be over tomorrow.
I know so many rich people who joke about doing cocaine and other illegal substances. Even the president's son has video of him repeatedly smoking crack cocaine and no charges are put against him (https://time.com/5952773/hunter-biden-memoir-beautiful-things/ https://time.com/5952773/hunter-biden-memoir-beautiful-thing...). George W Bush allegedly did cocaine and no one cared: (https://abcnews.go.com/images/pdf/800a1BushCocaine.pdf https://abcnews.go.com/images/pdf/800a1BushCocaine.pdf)
There's not many other laws where rules are applied so unevenly as drug charges. It just becomes a freebie police can use to arrest someone they don't like.
- quantified 4y agoWhen Madison Cawthorne outed his peers recently as doing drugs, the problem was his outing, not the drugs. Let's be real, as long as the productive citizens remain productive, their drug use by and large really isn't a problem.
- tsol 4y ago>When Madison Cawthorne outed his peers recently as doing drugs, the problem was his outing, not the drugs. Do you mean that literally? Whether they're productive or not, it's in the publics interest to know if their representatives are doing cocaine or other drugs. I think that's completely relevant, it affects the thought processes of most regular cocaine users I've known.
- cwkoss 4y agoYeah, it's pretty wild how brazen Hunter Biden has been, with essentially zero scrutiny from the liberal media. My meta-tinfoil hat theory is that stories of his depravity have been intentionally shared by dem insiders to conservative channels to mitigate the national security risk of someone extorting Joe - can't blackmail if the info is already public.
