why are Morphine and Fentanyl closely controlled substances? Must be because there’s nothing particularly dangerous about them I guess.
Here’s a tip, Scooter.
When you talk to someone, try to have a point. It makes things so much more interesting for everyone.

You know what dumba**, I’m an ER nurse and I have seen how innocuous this substance is twice already tonight.
So find another job. Perhaps a nanny. It’s what you’re suited for by temperament and belief.

It’s easy to be a libertarian when you never come in contact with the deadly consequences of your beliefs. Every overdosed junkie that comes through our doors is taking resources away from the healthcare system that is also responsible for dealing with strokes, and heart attacks, and car accidents, etc. and then there’s the criminal activity that surrounds drug addiction. and then there’s the biggest problem with your belief system of all, the increased demand for welfare services created by drug addiction. The majority of heroin addicts are young working age types that ought to be gainfully employed and contributing to society but, instead, they’re unemployed and sucking the system dry and taking away resources from those who are actually in need. Your libertarian beliefs are are as unworkable as any other liberal’s beliefs.
So let them die.
I would.

At one time during the Opium Wars, East Chines cities had estimates of 90% of the men addicted to opium courtesy of the British.
Yes, it does.
Play stupid games and die.
This is as it should be.

No it doesn’t. You clearly have no idea how the real world actually works. Thank you for sharing your ignorance with us once again.

You’re the one pissing away resources, time, and money on waste cases.
Not me.
And you expect me to pay for it.
You’re a parasite.

True story: Anthony Keidis lead singer of the red hot chili peppers used to get high on heroin with his girlfriend. He used to tell her he was giving her half but he would give her 1/4 only. She never knew and the first time she shot up with a new guy she had to be hospitalized and nearly died.
The problem isn’t that libertarians believe in freedom and individual responsibility. It is that our government and people who follow blindly don’t want people held accountable; so they reject freedom and build government programs to take care of idiots. That gives you more power over people.
They go into communities that have not have a heroin problem and recruit outside schools and other places. black tar heroin is extremely addictive, maybe like no other drug. One odd trait: these dealers are under orders to sell only to whites, not to non-whites.
The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) is a federal law that requires anyone coming to an emergency department to be stabilized and treated, regardless of their insurance status or ability to pay, but since its enactment in 1986 has remained an unfunded mandate.
Penalties may include: •Termination of the hospital or physician's Medicare provider agreement. •Hospital fines up to $50,000 per violation ($25,000 for a hospital with fewer than 100 beds). •Physician fines $50,000 per violation, including on-call physicians.
Our first common core educated drug dealers.
we have to work with the reality we exist in until it changes.
“It’s easy to be a libertarian when you never come in contact with the deadly consequences of your beliefs.”
I was not addressing reality. I was addressing your philosophical statement about libertarians. If you merged the best libertarian valves with the best conservative you’d have a pretty good country.
The art and challenge is to make the real more ideal, not discourage people by telling them “that’s they way it really is.” That’s a King George comment.
well, when libertarian types start calling me a nany and hurling other insults because I won’t participate in their fantasty, it leads to King George like comments. I’m actually pretty libertarian in my views but I have no choice but to live in the reality I am presented with.
