Idiots… more interested in pearl clutching than saving lives. Pathetic.

They want drug use to be dangerous because they think that being dangerous will discourage use, and that making it safer will just result in more people using.

Based on every study by neutral parties they are completely wrong, but pearl clutches don't base their views on reality.

It’s more than that, they want cheap reasons to arrest people to justify their budgets.

It’s actually just greed, and they tell themselves they don’t have to give a shit about people who take drugs because “they’re the bad guys we said so”.

Fucking DISGUSTING.

pearl clutching

Ha! Can't believe I haven't heard this one before. I'm gonna use it all week to keep my usual long whinge-y "society is fucked" rants nice and short. My girlfriend will be very pleased.
