Tone-Deaf Dinosaur Joe Biden and His 1984 Drug Policies

Shut up Biden, you’re not going to be President anyway!

With the 2020 Presidential Elections in the United States not too far off into the distant future, we’ll be forced to hear about the “different position” politicians will be pitching to gain your votes. One of the “big wigs” within the democratic party is “Creepy Uncle Joe”. You might remember Joe from shows like, “Old White Guy uses ‘tough on crime’ platform to jail millions of cannabis users” or “I’m friends with a black guy who happened to become President!”

Joe Biden recently made headlines because he expressed his outdated view on cannabis – “that he believes it might be a gateway drug”.

Obviously, for the vast majority of ‘Mericans, the idea of cannabis being a gateway drug is ridiculous. Especially since it has been disproven repeatedly over the past few decades. Since Biden is running for president during the 2020 elections, we will be hearing more about his positions on cannabis in the months’ ahead.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on all the political positions, and most importantly, looking at their flip-floppery on the issues. Today, we’re taking another look at “old Mr. Feelyhands”

Gateway Drug Theory

It baffles the mind to quote this in 2019;

“The truth of the matter is, there’s not nearly been enough evidence that has been acquired as to whether or not it is a gateway drug,” the 2020 presidential candidate claimed at a town hall meeting in Las Vegas. “It’s a debate, and I want a lot more before I legalize it nationally. I want to make sure we know a lot more about the science behind it.” - Source

The problem with Joe’s statement is;

There is enough evidence to suggest that it isn’t a “gateway drug”
The “Gateway Theory” has been largely disproven

According to Joe and his ilk, when a human being consumes something that they like, a pleasurable activity such as a drug – they won’t have any self-control to stop them from chasing more-and-more pleasure.

The idea is that “some drugs” are gateway drugs, but others aren’t. However, this doesn’t make sense. If a drug is supposed to “hack the reward centers of the brain” and dupe it into having a euphoric fit and then craving this experience at greater intervals – it would stand to reason that “anything can be a gateway experience”.

If you jump out of a plane, your serotonin and dopamine levels spike – you’re essentially high. The term “adrenaline junky” does come to mind, but out of the vast majority of the “sports enthusiasts” out there, how many of them are adrenaline junkies?

Also, if cannabis were a gateway drug…then wouldn’t alcohol and tobacco also be gateway drugs. How about coffee?

Why is it that with certain drugs, including opioids, prohibitionists believe that these drugs are exempt from the gateway theory logic – yet cannabis is most definitely a gateway drug?

No matter which way you look at it, the gateway theory doesn’t stand the test of credibility and it also makes humans out to be mindless-pleasure centered beasts that don’t know how to behave in public and requires the benevolent hand of “more evolved people” to guide them through their impure and impish ways.

Biden has long been a Drug War Advocate. Now that the drug war has fallen out of favor of the public eye he aims to change the narrative surrounding his stance. “I’m still not on board, I’m just not going to be a ranging cunt about it!” In other words, “drugs are still bad, but you won’t get arrested for weed”. It still won’t be legal, but at least you won’t go to jail.

Why Biden simply won’t win

It’s not like we should really care what Biden has to say, it’s not like he’s going to be the next President of the United States. If Biden goes against Trump, it’s almost 100% guaranteed that Trump will serve a second term.

Biden is too outdated. He’s old-school politician and responsible for stealing the liberty of millions of Americans. Biden should not be excused for his crimes. He helped inflate the prison population, he helped murder hundreds of thousands of people in Mexico, he helped ramp up the drug war to what it is today.

For Biden to assume control over the United States would be the unapologetic “Fuck you!” from the Man to the people. I don’t think that Biden will be allowed to be the democratic nominee, especially since the vast majority of democrats realized that “Pro Weed = More Votes!”

If it comes down to Biden vs Sanders – Sanders will be the best pick. He’s got far more support from the younger demographics, however, we’re not even sure that he’ll be the democratic nominee. Maybe if he ran against Trump the first time, things would have been different.
