A Kényelmetlen Igazság

Európa fogyaszt, Latin-Amerika és Afrika fizeti az árát. A kartellek egész régiókat destabilizálnak, intézményeket korrupálnak, piaci részesedésért ölnek. Ezt az erőszakot az európai kereslet finanszírozza. A tiltás akaratlan szponzoraivá tesz minket a terrornak és a nyomornak.

Gyengítsd a Kartelleket

Szabályozott elosztás Európában azt jelenti: nem lesznek többé európai ügyfelek a kartelleknek. Az üzleti modelljük összeomlik. Mint az alkoholtilalom – amikor véget ért, Al Capone birodalma véget ért.

Historical Example:

When the US ended alcohol prohibition in 1933, Al Capone's empire collapsed within months. Violence in Chicago dropped dramatically.

Állítsd Meg az Erőszakot

Évente több ezer haláleset Mexikóban, Kolumbiában, Hondurasban a drogerőszak miatt (Justice in Mexico, Global Initiative). Az európai fogyasztás finanszírozza ezt az erőszakot. A szabályozás megszünteti a bevételi forrást.

Current Numbers:

In Mexico, over 30,000 homicides are recorded annually; organized crime contributes substantially.

Tisztességes Ellátási Láncok

Legális termelés azt jelenti: munkajogok, környezetvédelmi szabványok, tisztességes bérek. Kényszermunka és gyerekkatonák helyett.

Environmental Damage:

Illegal cocaine production drives large-scale deforestation in Colombia; chemicals pollute rivers and groundwater.

Őszinte Politika

Vagy harcolunk a kartellek ellen – vagy finanszírozzuk őket. Mindkettőt egyszerre csinálni képmutatás. A szabályozás az egyetlen őszinte álláspont.

Human Trafficking:

Cartels use forced labor for production and transport. Women and children are exploited in production areas.

Affected Regions

🌎

Latin America

Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia – cartel violence, corruption, environmental destruction

🌍

West Africa

Guinea-Bissau, Ghana, Nigeria – transit routes, state corruption, destabilization

🌏

Southeast Asia

Myanmar, Laos, Thailand – Golden Triangle, conflict financing, human trafficking

! Can we really solve other countries' problems?

It's not about solving their problems – it's about not causing them. Without European demand, there would be no incentive for this violence. We know this principle from conflict minerals and fair trade: consumers share responsibility for their supply chains.

The Drug War as Geopolitical Tool

The "War on Drugs" has served for decades as an instrument of Western foreign policy – with devastating consequences for the Global South.

Destabilization as Strategy

  • Military aid to corrupt governments for "drug enforcement"
  • Operations by foreign security forces (DEA, military advisors)
  • Crop eradication destroys farmers' livelihoods
  • Weak states remain dependent on Western "aid"

Who Benefits from the Status Quo?

  • Prison industry & private detention facilities
  • Military and defense contractors
  • Police unions & security apparatus
  • Pharmaceutical industry (against legal alternatives)

"The drug war was never meant to be won. It was meant to be waged."

— Critique of Drug Prohibition
Historical Context

International drug control was largely shaped by the US – often against the resistance of other nations. The 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs and subsequent UN conventions forced countries worldwide into a prohibition regime that ignored local traditions and prioritized Western interests. Countries that refused risked sanctions and exclusion from trade agreements.

An Alternative Future

Imagine: Legal, controlled production under fair conditions.

Today: Illegal Market

  • Violence and corruption
  • Environmental destruction
  • No labor rights
  • No taxes
  • No quality control

Tomorrow: Regulated Market

  • Legal economy
  • Environmental standards
  • Fair working conditions
  • Tax revenue
  • Pharmaceutical quality
