The War on Drugs™ isn’t going so well.  Because of that, our law enforcement braniacs have decided to go after people who sell things like matchbooks, cold medicine, and cooking fuel.  Those items could be used to make meth, so anyone selling them must be aiding and abetting drug criminals, right?  So our government seems to think.

Given the same logic, why are we not arresting anyone who sells guns, fertilizer, batteries, wire, gas (of any kind), cigarette papers, pipes, axes, hammers, shoes, bras, panties, cars, farm equipment, tools, and everything else under the fucking sun?  Out of all of those items I just listed (and the infinite list of things I didn’t mention), each of them could be used to commit a crime.  Whether it be murder, DUI, prostitution, making or selling or doing drugs, making or using bombs, theft, and a litany of other offenses, each of these otherwise innocuous items is equally illegal if the government is allowed to arrest those who sell ordinary items to people they do not know intend to use them for illegal purposes.

But that’s what the government is doing.  And to make matters worse, they are entrapping those who do not know drug vernacular well enough to recognize it from behind the counter at the local convenience store.  For instance, some of those arrested of late sold cold medicine and matchbooks to those who claimed they had to hurry so they could go home and “finish cooking” or “complete a cook” or whatever.  Until I read how “cook” can be used to mean making a batch of meth, I had no idea that’s what it meant, and I only found out by reading about this atrocious attack on innocent Americans in the name of the War on Drugs™.  What a ludicrous, outlandish, and ILLEGAL policy.

Be weary, poppets, because you too can obviously be charged with drug-related crimes for selling perfectly legal items in a perfectly legal store to otherwise perfectly legal customers, and all because you’re not into the drug scene and don’t understand the associated colloquialisms, or you’re not smart enough to recognize someone involved with drugs when they enter your store and buy cooking fuel.

This is entrapment at its most heinous, vicious attacks on people who don’t know the drug dictionary well enough to keep from selling ordinary items to people who want to use them for nefarious purposes.  Go read this rant from The Two Percent Company.  If it doesn’t piss you off and make you realize how misguided this “war” is, you’re a greater fool than the idiots conducting these stings and arrests.
