Heroin is inexpensive in Nashville and it’s incredibly potent due to our huge beanpop
20 bucks will get two regular people throwing up high so I’m told
Giving people pain relief by the way is not an argument that ages
I’ve taken 10mg oxycodone thus far today and I’m going about my business just fine with a chronic pain level around 2-4 versus 7-10 depending
I’m almost 60 and survived a life of gunshots and motorcycle wrecks and open heart surgeries and a pacemaker and thyroid disease and am responsible for the welfare of 9 family members plus my employees whom I do feel a responsibility for
Nine dependents !
Try that on for size
I frankly do not know anyone else who does all I do through feast and famine which is the bane of self employment
And if moderate opioid use and steroid use too for pain mgt helps folks like me function with chronic pain in my October years then that’s my business not the govt or church ladies
I think I can figure out for myself I’ve earned that right of responsibility many times over not to have it usurped by the high and mighty busybodies
Drug warriors can simply mind their own business
They’ve already ruined my allergies addled asthmatic 16 year old sons ability to get pseudo ephedrine which frankly is the absolute only relief for a constant flowing snot nose
But nooooooooo
Because a few dumbass hillbillies make meth from crushed pills let’s make it hard for those who really need them to get them
One a day
That’s the limit 30 mg one a day
My wife and I and friends have to run the gauntlet to get them for him
It’s ridiculous
I wish they made Drug Warriors have to ration their booze purchases
That would be the shoe on the other foot nanny state wise
“Those who can, must.”
(In some families at least.)
The interesting thing was that in 1917, when Congress thought regulating booze was a good idea, they recognized that they had no such power (i.e., it was not one of the "Legislative powers herein granted"), and that therefore a Constitutional amendment would be required before they could pass the Volstead Act.
By 1971, when most Federal drug laws were passed, Congress had no such inhibitions, and believed they could legislate about anything that pleased them.
