RE: Cops killed and hospitalized more people than deaths by overdoses of methamphetamine, heroin, and cocaine-A NeverGetBusted/Steemit Exclusive

in #barrycooper8 years ago

$51 billion per year claiming to be trying to prevent 13,200 deaths. Countless ruined lives for being kidnapped and caged for possession of a vegetable, half of them for possession of a weed that has never caused a single death (cannabis hemp, aka marijuana). The war on some drugs is a crime against humanity. End it. Hang the narcs, for kidnapping.

It’s not stricty true that weed has never caused a single death. The title gives away the punchline - 3 years ago a man in Brazil was crushed to death by half a ton of it:
