re: I'm in Birmingham, AL for a conference on opioids

I had to pass a drug test for my summer internship, so I stopped back in April. Unfortunately, I did not pass the background test, but I have maintained my cessation of smoking. I like the clarity and my short-term memory and overall information retainment has increased.
I smoked for 14 years and it was easy to do once I knew it had to be done. Just...don't do it. Sure, your dreams will be crazy-vivid as frick for 10 days, but you get over it.

I don't do either of those much, but I have been smoking a lot for like 5 years straight and it's hard for me to quit.

I just stopped? Kicking alcohol and nicotine has been a hell of a lot more difficult.
I kicked alcohol fairly easy, nicotine... that’s another beast

don’t see why medical marijuana is pushed by people as some sort of first step to complete legalization.
Every journey begins with the first step.
This is a more palatable step for most Americans who have been brainwashed thinking pot is bad.

Well done, hopefully I will get over it soon.

And they will start shooting each other over something else when your legal heroin stores start popping up. This will do nothing, other than encourage people that it isn't so bad to do heroin.
You're quite wrong.

If you use it to fall asleep, I suggest two things: exercise 90 minutes before your desired sleep time, and reading a book as you wind down rather than watching TV/Netflix/whatever.

No. It's not. We incarcerate WAY too many people in this country. We have gangs shooting up Chicago based on drug trade/turf wars. Opioid/heroin overdoses killed more Americans than the entirety of the Vietnam War. Something DIFFERENT must be done in order to produce better results.
It is in the sense that we have plenty of laws on the books to regulate the problem. Instead of enforcing those laws we have politicians look the other way. Not to mention we spend a shitload of taxpayer dollars running programs and trying to find new ways to fix shite when we alreeady have ways to fix shite on the books.

Not really, we just have too many people that don't care about the law

Nah we definitely incarcerate too many people. Imprisonment doesn't work well. We should be doing more public corporal punishment and more crimes should be met with death. No need to really lock up anyone unless they are mentally ill.

Would be nice

Yeah we know. You just want to smoke legally and you are one of those types who will feign outrage with saving lives due to all the medical benefits.

How more fricking simple can it get than if you break the law you are going to jail. In that case lets legalize insider trading, human trafficking, and rape. In other words Slippery meet Slope.

Why is he correct about the first part?
A black market, like drugs, is unregulated.
How is an unregulated/black market controlled? By violence.
Regulation would equate to nonviolence.
Why would people continue to harm each other if there was no monetary incentive? It doesn't work like that.

The greatest single cause of shootings in the country is an argument. Not drugs. Not money. Legalizing drugs won’t change that at all.
And poor people will fight over anything because they have nothing. Never seen world star?

I know its beyond the scope of your involvement but the assholes in Washington (from Bush 43 to the present) who've been deciding our foreign policy in Afghanistan need to wake the frick up and realize that nothing has enriched the Taliban more than opioids and that they now are the #1 narco-state worldwide with 90% of the opium production. And I really can't blame the Taliban because they just selling what our drug addicts (and Europe's) are buying. After spending $1 trillion and over 15 years there we need to get the frick out of dodge and then watch the production drop. We cannot defeat the Taliban. They have essentially won this war. This is our 3rd Viet Nam (with Iraq being the 2nd).
