From the last bread about DRUGS
I work in a head shop. My two cents…
Marijuana will be legal soon. Certain other drugs will probably be legalized soon as well for med reasons (ie mushrooms). There's just too much med benefit, some of which has been funded by the military to treat PTSD, etc… and pharma is corrupt. By legalizing some of these things we can help a lot of people and help clean up Pharma corruption. Drugs haven't really dried up. It's still easy to get everything. Prescription narcotics are harder to find and more expensive, but it's still a fucking free for all. It's a cat and mouse game. There have been major heroine busts here. But someone else will just take their place, cook fentanyl, etc…
I'm not trying to sound like a hippie, but the only way to solve this problem is to legalize and regulate ALL drugs. That means people will by cocaine at walmart. But it will help keep it away from kids. And honestly, the FED has no right to tell you what you can do with your body. Most of the addicts I see are actually pretty normal/good Americans with a problem. Why lock them up?
