If you made it a capital offence to sell these drugs, that should dry up the supply.
The circular cutoff saw at the beginning of processing logs can be up to an
eight-foot diameter, spinning at a few thousand rpm.
Yes, one could easily lose finger(s), leg(s), etc. from various moving equipment
Falling in a chipper can also ruin your day.
RE: You didn’t have to be paranoid anymore, you didn’t have to be worried about the cops,” said John Hood, a 61-year-old drug addict living on the streets....
So many people like him yearn for the golden years of their lost youth. Cherished memories never to be taken away.
Unless drugs kill too many brain cells.
The Singaporean method.
Yes, all places in a sawmill are dangerous.
I actually know someone who died a fentanyl overdose today.
Legalize???? NO F***ING WAY!
I have no idea what California laws are.
All drugs are legal in OR. That does not mean you get to work at XYZ sawmill. IF, you want to work there, you have to agree to random drug test. IF NOT, go work somewhere else.
Condolences.
What you say is sensible, I just don’t know if the lefties who implemented it agree.
“criminalization is a way to get junkies into forced treatment”
The clowns in Salem sold this as a way to force the drug addicts to go to rehab. They would still get a fine but they were given a choice to pay the fine (like they’re going to come up with the $25 fine) OR, they can call a drug rehab line and get their charges thrown out. Guess how much they enforced that? NOT at all. Go downtown (unfortunately I have to go their on occasion driving through to visit family at the coast) and you’ll see scores of cops on bikes and just walking around as junkies are doing any amount of drugs, defecating on the streets, and sleeping on the sidewalk.
BUT Antifa has run Portland since the 1990s when the commies started up their “Rose City Antifa” crew. This is what they want.
It would make a lot more sense to allow physicians to prescribe opioids for chronic pain and methadone and Suboxone for addiction and OUD.
Right now state board and DEA have made it too dangerous to prescribe opioids. The risk of criminal prosecution by Feds or license revocation is simply too great for prescribers.
No one is going to risk their livelihood or liberty to treat these people properly.
The result is that patients and addicts go to the street for unregulated opioids.
It looks like law enforcement is in charge of chronic pain and addiction. The “treatment” is asset forfeiture, prosecution and prison.
The politicians, police state, DEA and medical boards can own the opioid crisis.
We all know that the police state would absolutely love that here. I don’t know how or why it works in Singapore. It’s likely because of more cultural acceptance of authoritarianism.
But we all know based on current abuses by all the US police state agencies IRS, FBI, DEA etc and an unaccountable DOJ that drug enforcement of Singapore style regime would be a disaster.
This would be an ideal means of targeting deplorables and other inconvenient citizens that oppose the government.
Keep in mind that agents have qualified immunity here and they frequently get away with defendant due process violations without consequence. If you lie to them it’s a felony, if they lie to you it’s SOP.
But, using the law and lawfare against inconvenient citizens would never happen here, right?
Would it not be a modern miracle if it's at least partially true?
Here's a fertile research topic for this very day and age.
I’m skeptical of the drug for weight loss and diabetes, but it seems to be a miracle for diabetes. I hope they are testing it.
Not a get even thing, just that I trust other pharma companies a whole, whole lot more.
