Predictable, sadly. They are just looking for new ways to increase the war on drugs.

I think it's just ignorance more than anything. They don't want to take the time to learn the hows and whys of how someone can so easily get addicted. It's easier to cast them off as TPOS's and lock them up.

We arent going to look for a solution though, and Alabama is wasting valuable time doing this, they should concentrate of spring football.

Legalization of all drugs would lead to a decrease in overdoses and crime, but that, too, ironically, is taboo.
One day. Prohibition doesn't work.

Good, we should quadruple our efforts in our war against drugs, which are a scourge.

When I was eaten up with cancer about 5 years ago, the pain was so bad that I was taking 2 80mg OxyContin a day (every 12 hours) and oxycodone in between each dose. I had to do that for about a year and finally eliminated the in between oxycodone doses. For the next year I stayed on the 2 OxyContin cycle but reduced to 20mg doses. One day I said frick it I don't need this crap anymore and just quit cold turkey. No side effects and kind of pissed that I didn't just stop taking them a year before. That was over 3 years ago and I am very fortunate that for some reason that particular drug wasn't addictive to me.

The only solution is jailing everyone. No one can do drugs if they are in jail, right?

This is backwards thinking and a bad approach. We should be more open minded and consider the phillipine model of drug policy
The phillipines had a horrible drug epidemic that was increasing the crime rate and other bad stuff until a few years ago the new president duterte tried a new strategy to combat the epidemic: kill all the drug dealers
An estimated 30000 drug dealers have been killed, some by duterte personally and by all accounts the country is improving and on its way to join the first world

A true light of progressive thinking.
By that line of thinking we should kill all of the beer Brewers and liquor distillers in this country too. They are a bane on the existence of the working man and loving husband.
