        I’m not even a tankie, I’m just explaining the context for which they want to ban drugs so badly

          Most of the drugs they ban like cannabis are because of a UN convention that, under US pressure, forced them to, in the 1960’s and 1970’s.

      It’s not like they have to choose between killing them and letting them go, they could just lock them up for life too.

        ttbomk, they need about 10,000 executions per year, for sake of the harvested body-parts, & I’ve read that for years there seemed to be a quota on executions, to provide the required body-parts…
