Besides being used to describe
draconian and uniform (goodbye punishment that fits the crime) policys of law enforcement and schools, zero tolerance can also refer to the
war on drugs in another way.
It refers to that no drugs (though not as much towards alcohol since the alcohol companies help fund
anti-drug organizations bullshit) are acceptable to be taken recreationaly. Pure abstinence over drugs. Too bad for them humans don't work that way. There have been drug users for as long as humans have known of their existence.
It doesn't know how many this is your
brain on drugs commercials you air, how many people you arrest and how many civil rights you violate, people will always use and abuse drugs. Whatever the hell drug abuse means....
And people looking to sell them will always exist no matter how draconian the laws are.
Zero tolerance once again =
zero intelligence
