It may have wound up different before the opioid epidemic, but that has changed things. People smoking a doobie in their backyards on a Friday night aren't the issue, it's people getting hooked on opioids then selling their souls to and for it.

In any meaningful way, the major cities of the Left Coast have legalized all drugs and we see the results.



I don't think the "War on (soft) Drugs" is the answer any longer, I think we need to move toward some sort of mass incarceration for homeless addicts whose families aren't willing/able to care for them. There's really no other way to deal with it.

I also like the idea I heard floated recently of charging anyone dealing anything laced with fentanyl with attempted murder. I wouldn't mind seeing that adapted a bit to include that any of their "customers" who died from fentanyl poisoning mandates a first degree murder charge with an automatic death row sentence.

I hear Abbott/TX signed an EO saying that smugglers are now terrorists. Thats a positive move.

Problem is we are fighting the commie far left in this country and they have their gameplan in motion and the Right has been sitting on their hands, because we are "to nice."

I heard an interview comment that said the old commies that came over here decades ago found that our Pastors were easy pickings due to wanting to be "nice." Same thing the moslims and chynese are taking advantage especially when they throw money into the mix. We need our Christian leaders to step up and stop giving in. We need Templars.

As to the "soft-drugs" thing...I couldn't care if an adult smokes a joint from time to time, but the issue is people who become dependent on it (though the stoners say that's not possible), and it being done by the youth. It's bound to hurt them more than not, and we are seeing that on the West Coast. Same with Alcohol, an adult doing it in moderation isn't an issue, its the ones who let it control them and not the other way around.

It's not that their families aren't willing too. It's that legally they can't force them.

Doctors can only interfere if they say they don't have access to basic human needs like food, water and a roof over their head(tent). At that point the doctor has no choice but to release them

The legalization you mention has not had enough time to show positive results. Please get back with us in 3 years. The positive trend will become apparent by that time.
