What the hell did they expect.
If you made heroin legal you would have nw junkies by the thousands in thirty days.
Make Marijuana legal and certainly people will start smoking it.
When they did away with alcohol prohibition, did they have alcohol addicts spike up quickly as well?
I don’t really know the answer, but I sure want to know because there are similarities here.
“Make Marijuana legal and certainly people will start smoking it.”
I believe this is true. I have never smoked pot, however I’m sure I would have had it been legal.
my sister started smoking weed, ten wanted the bigger thing and went to cok, speed, LSD and then heroin.
While the elft is wanting to give guns out to their dope heads they are wanting to ban guns.
Hippie life for CO and WA.
Makes me laugh that they want to charge tax on it now and yet the drug dealer they were supposed to get rid of won;t be charging tax.
Now the feds don;t know want to do because it violates federal law but the left still wants to hand out their drugs .
Hopefully common sense will prevail in a couple of years
Would you seriously try heroin simply because it became legal? How many people do you know who would?
One positive would be that if you made it legal, the narco terrorists in South and central America as well as mexico would lose their golden goose. Not to mention their minions who are growing it for them in our state and federal parks.
Not too long ago I read where a U.N. official pleaded with American gub mint official to not legalize it as it would remove the only money lifeline many of those in south and central America had of making a living.
not too worried about where they may be getting their next meal from
The faster way of turning people into heroin junkies is happening right now. First, get them addicted to prescription opiate drugs like Oxycodone. Then reformulate it to make it harder to abuse. Of the 2,000,000-3,000,000 US addicts, they quickly learn that heroin costs just a fifth the price, and gives them the same result.
“They start by smoking or snorting it, but in two weeks they are injecting it.” In Virginia and W. Virginia, heroin addiction skyrocketed even faster than they imagined it would. OD’s all over the place.
And in either instance, as long as society can protect themselves from the losers that are violent, and doesn’t have to shell out for their care when they end up in the gutter it’s a net win.
