Hmm. Cars or guns? In that particular order?

“So I say the risk for Vermont, frankly, the risk for the other states around the country is, we have got more people dying from opiate addiction and from drug addiction than is killing us in automobiles, killing us with guns, killing us with all of the other things that we keep talking about,” Shumlin continued.

Good. I'd rather have the stupid a$$es that do heroin die, than having government spend taxpayer dollars for repeated unsuccessful treatments (not to mention the damage done to society directly from theft by the addicts, neighborhood degredation, etc.)

Did he go after the real drug pushers? The doctors and the pharma sales reps?

When Vermont starts puting doctors in jail for giving addictive drugs to unsuspecting people, I’ll pat them on the back.

It’s all a LIE, and must be made up entirely just to scare us. Afghanistan Produces 95% of the WORLD’S OPIUM, Our US Military CONTROLS the Afghanistan Border. It cannot be happening, How could there be such a DRAMATIC INCREASE in Heroin Usage Since we took over in Afghanistan, in Every City USA, if The Government is Officially In Charge of the very borders the product Originates from????

Ever wonder why the US/Mexico Border will never be SEALED???

Brief translation: “Solve the drug problem by legalizing heroin and all the rest of them. Then softly persuade those druggies not to use drugs.

It sounds like another incompetent liberal who along with other liberal failures is incapable of enforcing the law and arresting drug dealers. Rather than admit his own failure he announces that there is a huge “problem” that needs massive new government programs and substantial increases in taxpayer dollars. And guess who’s power will be enhanced by all these new government jobs and government funding? The governor and his administration.

This tactic has been repeated many times by liberals.

There is too much money involved with THE ESCAPE INDUSTRY that is recreational drugs in this country. Even the legal stuff. I was talking to my sister and she had been watching a news story about the legalized pot in Colorado. She said that the people in line to go into the pot store, “Looked like the stoners from high school only older.” They do. The only way, the ONLY way, to reduce recreational drug use in this country is to toughen up the recreational drug users. If you need to use recreational drugs to escape from reality, then you are screwed up. You have done nothing but make your reality worse. You escaped it for awhile, but it cost you money you could have used to actually improve your reality. I don’t hate recreational drug users. They are pathetic cowards. I do hate the dealers. They prey on these pathetic cowards. That’s chickenshit. Find a way to make money that doesn’t hurt the country. Because recreational drug use hurts our country. It produces a steady stream of frightened, pathetic people. Do people like that vote conservative? Nope. They vote for government to take care of them, and that’s the Democrat party. I’m amazed at the number of people who say “this country started going to hell in the 60s!” but don’t see how recreational drug use is involved with that. Recreational drug use took off in the 60s. And if you are a “Libertarian” and you just don’t care, then shut your yap about Obama and the Democrats and suffer the effects of THE ESCAPE INDUSTRY.

I guess he didn’t want to talk about ObamaCare and a bunch of other things. Spending a whole state of the state address on one topic sounds like he is avoiding stuff

An ex girlfriend’s brother became addicted to Oxycontin after a doc prescribed it to him for a while then cut him off.

His life went into the toilet after he started smoking crack when he could no longer get Heroin.

One night he smoked up at the crack house and didn’t have the cash to pay up; the dealer and his enforcers broke both his legs.

And what before all this was the gateway drug for many?

Great idea to legalize that as well.

I’ve heard that Vermont has a large population percentage of trust-funders, people who’ve inheirited wealth that they never worked for, and whose only job each month is going to the mailbox to pick up their dividend checks. They are Green Mountain Green-Scene libs driving Subarus and Prius while voting for Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders. Hard to blame them for wanting to stay stoned all the time in that environment, even if it is of their own making.

Another "percent increase" is called a crisis. I wonder, how many people ar affected? Did the state go from 10 addicits to 70, or 100 to 700, or 1,000 to 7,000?

And how does whatever the number of non-functional opiate addicts is, compare with the number of non-functional alcoholics in the state?
