Impossible!!!!!
We MUST empower the police to make warrantless, no-knock midnight raids on the wrong addresses, shooting family dogs, and pointing guns at childrens’ heads just in case somebody tries to flush a toilet!!!!
If we don’t...well...it’s for the children!
” Thanks to the Huffington Post for the pointer.” ?????
If someone wants to be a heroin addict then I say give them all the want~!!!!
We should have a FEDERAL WELFARE PROGRAM for heroin distribution, for those poor needy people who cannot afford it.
Give them a boatload and the problem will quickly take care of itslef.
The only thing that prevents most heroin addicts from killing themselves with it is that they run out of heroin or money
Just let the states decide and get the Federal Government out of it.
BS.
The research is hiding all the evidence and has a point to make. If you think otherwise, you are quite gullible.
I too, can generate a report that says if every one carried a firearm 100% of the time, no one would ever need them. A null hypothesis at best.
I was in Portugal for three weeks in May, and never saw or smelled one instance of drug use.
That’s considerably better than my hometown here in Oregon, where my neighbor grows it, the kids at the mall smoke it, and the Mexicans in the hills will kill you over it.
Isn’t Portugal another one of those countries that’s flat broke?
FWIW, Paul asserts in Romans 7:7-11 that a law, in his example “shalt not covet...”, actually incites disobedience. Perhaps Portugal is onto something.
You want Idiocracy then legalize drugs. These druggies will be voting Democrat to get Gov’t freebies
We have too many idiots and too many irresponsible people in America. You legalize all drugs including methedreine and heroin and cocaine and crack here and you will get an explosion in child abuse and people sucking off the social welfare systems. Getting on SS disability. More riots and flash mobs attacking people.
Apparently there are many Americans who would like to have the police just leave them and their cocaine and heroin alone so they can party. Many on FR. They equate those with having a glass of wine.
Is there no end to people lumping beer and wine and tobacco in with cocaine ? Do they really think they’re fooling anyone ?
Are hard drugs the “great freedom” that we’re fighting for ? Do you really want to snort cocaine ? Smoke crack ? If you could never do that again, would life still be worth living ?
I’ve seen the utterly foolish “first they came for the drug dealers” flawed reasoning. Using that logic, I could set up a fun beastiality playland at my house, with friendly clown signs out front. Would my neighbors with small children be stifling my freedom if they sought to shut me down ? After all, I’m just doing this in my own yard, not bothering anyone... /sarc Sorry, but the police do “come for” criminals. Allowing criminals to walk free is not a hallmark of a good society. And the only ones who insist that drugs do not mess up the lives of young people are druggies. Anyone who has had teenagers recently - who bothers to be aware - knows that drug use is rampant in the suburbs, it is pushed on children by their peers and most media, the public schools love the idea of another generation of ignorant hippies so they feign concern while enabling it to continue, and it only serves to have your child become difficult and lazy, rendering their life a mess until they can unentangle themselves from their love affair with the drugs and their drug friends.
If a drug is something that you can’t walk away from - then it is controlling you. Drugs are hallucinogenic. An alcoholic drink, in moderation, takes the edge off, causes relaxation. That’s why alcohol is typically an ingredient in cold medicines, because it lets one get sleep. If one drinks alcolhol and starts hallucinating, it is time to stop drinking. But that’s the only aim of drugs. They don’t “go well with beef” like bordeaux, or “after a fine meal with nuts” like a well-rolled cigar with Connecticut shade wrapper. They simply cause loss of one’s mental faculties, ranging from uncontrolled giggling to dementia.
If there were no drugs - even pot - there still would be a police force required. There still would be criminal gangs.
Mobsters have ALWAYS tried to portray themelves as some kind of independent American heroes. The media loves the excitement of bad guys and pushes it on the gullible.
Not such a nice fantasy when you have a gangster hitting you up for money every week breaking your fingers, threatening your family members, to get your gambling debt to them repaid. Which has nothing at all to do with drugs. It’s just about stupid bullies who are lazy, and think themselves smart for bullying others out of hard-earned money rather than earning for themselves, an age-old profession. And said bullies, if they gave up the crime and put half the effort into legitimate business, would make more. They really stay in crime because of the romance of it, not because they can acheive more.
Let’s get real, crime is not good, it has to be punished severely. The WOD fails simply because the buyers only get punishments that do not deter them from coming back and buying again. All those buyers create what economists call demand for the products. The WOD focuses primarily on the supply side, rendering it not only ineffective, but actually causing higher market prices and therefore more aggressive selling activity.
