"If only we made illegal drugs legal, we wouldn't have people buying and using illegal drugs and the US government could make money from taxes and use of these drugs would go down and gangs wouldn't make money."
Of course, these drugs would never be put into food items, liquids, or our water supply and cause mass deaths, would they? /end sarcasm
They been a few police officers in New England who have received near fatal synthetic opiate overdoses from unknowingly being exposed while arresting a suspect.
This stuff is really bad.
Getting this stuff off the street should be the FBI’s #1 goal.
Executions for the production, importing, and distribution of these drugs are long overdue.
Of course, the motive the make these extremely powerful drugs is to make smuggling them easier.
We had legal opiats, over the counter, in the U.S. for decades before they were regulated by the Federal government at the start of the “progressive” period.
Where were all those poisonings you are claiming would happen, then?
You think legalizing drugs would make it ok to put in the water to kill people? I don’t understand your thought.
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.
You will take only the drugs we supply you, or we will shoot you, steal your property, strip your citizenship, and enslave you.
Knowing how California immigration is handled, I’m surprised they didn’t just declare it on the paperwork they should have just provided to the immigration officials when they made it to safety San Francisco, the sanctuary city. Sure would have saved the time and effort as the stuff will be back again.

Yes, the Feds hate the competition. I mean, how many black-ops/etc. could that 97# have funded? I’m sure there’s enough in the Paki poppy fields ‘we’ let survive... /s
In states where pot has been legalized the black market is still strong. They sell cheaper than the taxed product.
USP for all who want them. There has been bootleg drugs forever since drug have been taxed.
