RE: Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht is now on Twitter

Thank you so much for your care and support for him. I'm sure it would mean the world to Ross if he saw this, and saw how kind souls can rally behind him.


And you're right, the war on drugs is so ugly and destructive. Rips apart families and ruins lives. The little political things people bicker over.. while there's real injustice like this.

And ya, I think the cartels thing is true. I feel like the government is probably in bed with the cartels or even just running the cartels or who knows what. However exactly it works, lots of money is made off of its illegality. And then more money for the prison industrial complex on top of that (probably a little job security and more need for cops too).

So lots of money, and in turn a lot of brainwashing people that there's a need for drugs to be criminalized.


I think I've heard that this is an issue where people are rather quick to change their mind and oppose drug criminality, when it's brought up and argued to them.

So at least there's that.

Steem on, brother!
