The Libertarian in me says “Put whatever you want into your body, but when you overdose, or injure yourself or others, don’t expect me to pick up the tab. You own it.”
The Conservative in me asks, “Does having a segment of the population wacked out on drugs make us more or less competitive in the world market?”
Kinda scary to see them go balls to the walls on the opiode thing. My dad and FnL both dealt with severe pain. One with late onset muscular dystrophy and the other an amputation issue. Both at a time when the Feds were working to cut the supply of pain killers, making it difficult to get them.
Ever seen a 6’6” man weep like a baby in pain?
