I've said in the past that if we were serious, we would have "fought it like we were gonna win it". Instead, we essentially "skirmish" and make no progress. Essentially a battle of attrition. But the fallout from this are innumerable "reasons" why LE needs more toys and powers.
At the same time though, I can't support unfettered access to some of these drugs.
Thus my "arguments" about health effects and the subsequent impact on society as a result of those effects.
I believe there has to be some kind of middle ground, but I haven't arrived at any conclusion as to what that might be.
I agree. Crystal Meth is nothing but poison, and is as good example as any of a substance that shouldn’t be permitted, for MANY reasons.
Even manufacturing it is an EXTREME hazard. It’s a danger to anyone near where it’s being made, and the byproducts are a serious environmental hazard. I don’t believe that substance has any place in our society. I wonder how in the hell anyone even discovered it as a recreational ‘drug’ in the first place. It’s incredibly addictive, and LITERALLY destroys the people that ingest it in the worst physical ways.
