how do they use drug laws against those who don't have drugs or use them or sell them etc. or do they just arrest drug possessors/dealers?

So, are they not actually enforcing the established laws that say drug possession is against that established law?
Or are your views just skewed?

I might not agree with all the laws on the books, but I've yet to fine one that is racist. Maybe they existed back in the days of segregation, but not in to days time.

From your article....
"Those selling small amounts of drugs to support their own drug use may go to jail for decades."
So, by selling small amounts, they are violating the law. To go to jail for decades, it would have to be habitual offenses.
Drugs destroy families and communities, that is why there are laws against possessing and selling them. If you look at all crimes, there is a similar comparison to the offense rate of drug offenses across the races quoted in the article.

So your not going to debate because you don't have any valid facts?
Or because you let you emotions get the better of you and revert to name calling rather than civil discussion?
It is difficult to tell from your precious comment.

Back to the name calling, and you're callig me a child. Typical.
Why not just say, "I am right and if not I'll just say your wrong" rather than actually talking. I noticed you skipped my other comment. Stay in your bubble, in your safe zone. The real world will go on without you.

Percentage of people arrested for drug law violations who are Black or Latino: 46.9% (despite making up just 31.5% of the U.S. population) http://www.drugpolicy.org/issues/drug-war-statistics

Listen dumbass! Racist drugs clearly target black people and minorities. They don't want to take the drugs but racist drugs clearly force themselves on these poor innocent blacks and minorities. Those are f**king FACTS. You don't see racist drugs forcing themselves on wypipo. You're just a racist ignorant BIGOT!!!!!!

not racism specifically i dont think but marijuana is used to continue slavery by jailing people for using it and keeping people thinking jailing the users of weed by aggressively promoting it as an extremely dangerous drug but i dont know that much about it thats about as much as i think i know

Want me to help you find your laws so you can read them and come to your own conclusions? If you do, just list 2 or 3 states, and I'll get you links to the those states laws.

Blacks are more open with drug use and commit more crime on average, so they get busted with drugs more.

Drugs are statistically found more in lower economic communities, just happens that more Blacks and Hispanics are statistically found to be in lower economic communities.... probably because drugs are easily grown/manufactured and sold

You're wrong dick bag. White people use and sell more drugs then any other race. If cops weren't racially profiling minorities. Then we would have more white people in prison. You don't see the police pulling middle aged white guys out the car or shooting innocent unarmed white teenagers. You're just a racist ignorant bigot. http://www.drugpolicy.org/issues/race-and-drug-war
