>>these drugs would never be put into food items, liquids, or our water supply and cause mass deaths, would they?<<

Nor could cyanide. Truth be told, when the federal government outlawed alcohol...people started killing to preserve their profits.

I'm not for legalization, but ya gotta ask, what the feds have done all these years, all the billions of $$$’s to fight the war on drugs has done what? Reduced the flow of drugs? Reduced drug use among Americans? Reduced Cartel violence?

It is just a plain simple fact, when they clamp down on legal drugs such as cannabis/opiates/alcohol...the flow of illegal drugs increase. The whole fentanyl thing raised it's ugly head as soon as the feds began rescheduling drugs like norco, Oxy this and oxy that...making it harder for people to obtain legal Rx's.

I hate that people are abusing these drugs and dying. It's terrible. I also hate that my dad cannot obtain the medication he needs to relieve his pain...cause the doctors are scared to death to prescribe them.

Somethings wrong and I don't have the answers, but what the feds are doing now ain't workin.

Oh...here’z a thought. Build a damn wall along the southern border. That might help a tad.

I also hate that my dad cannot obtain the medication he needs to relieve his pain...cause the doctors are scared to death to prescribe them.

That's a bigger a problem as other hypothetical scenarios. For those that abuse drugs, if they die that was the chance they took. There are people suffering needlessly to the point of suicide but the antis don't care. They keep fueling this insane expensive WOD campaign.

I completely agree with everything you’ve posted. The “war on drugs” is complete, abject failure! Like it’s “twin sister,” gun control, it does only three things:

1). Makes the legitimate possession by decent people more difficult or impossible.
2). Creates a criminal element by virtue of dumb laws.
3). Creates an expensive bureaucracy and policing forces that become “jobs programs” without any legitimate purpose. And over time, we will see these “agencies” end up with hugely bloated cadres of “retireee” who demand pension and healthcare benefits not available to those of us who have to pay for it.
I mean look at this week’s “revelation,” that the EPA has been spending $1 million per year on health club memberships for their employees!
