Neērtā Patiesība

Eiropa patērē, Latīņamerika un Āfrika maksā cenu. Karteļi destabilizē veselus reģionus, korumpē institūcijas, slepkavo par tirgus daļu. Šo vardarbību finansē Eiropas pieprasījums. Prohibīcija mūs padara par neapzinātiem terora un posta sponsoriem.

What Regulation Changes Globally

💸

Vājiniet Karteļus

Regulēta izplatīšana Eiropā nozīmē: vairs nav Eiropas klientu karteļiem. Viņu biznesa modelis sabrūk. Kā alkohola prohibīcija – kad tā beidzās, Al Kapones impērija beidzās.

Historical Example:

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

Apstādiniet Vardarbību

Tūkstošiem nāves gadījumu gadā Meksikā, Kolumbijā, Hondurasā no ar narkotikām saistītas vardarbības (Justice in Mexico, Global Initiative). Eiropas patēriņš finansē šo vardarbību. Regulēšana noņem ieņēmumu avotu.

Current Numbers:

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

Godīgas Piegādes Ķēdes

Legāla ražošana nozīmē: darba tiesības, vides standartus, godīgas algas. Piespiedu darba un bērnu karavīru vietā.

Environmental Damage:

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

Godīga Politika

Vai nu mēs cīnāmies pret karteļiem – vai tos finansējam. Darīt abus vienlaikus ir liekulība. Regulēšana ir vienīgā godīgā pozīcija.

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
