We can't have open borders AND a welfare state. The math doesn't add up.

The US should start smuggling drugs into Mexico. Plus we can smuggle all of our welfare recipients there too.

So who exactly do you think is gonna manufacture recreational opiods if they become legal?

Face it,Opiods have been defecto "legal" the last 20 years.Doctors were prescribing them like Chiclets and if you had insurance you could a months supply for $15.00


I understand this
So if they're already defacto legal, just make them legal, tax them, and regulate them

I guarantee you'd see less ODs because there wouldn't be black market Chinese fentanyl flooding the market

So you want to make em even easier to get?

Do you really think taxing them will pay for the cost of additional addicts,loss of productivity and rehab?

Won't even come close.The defecto legal opiods are already a huge drain on society.

I can go get opioids from a doctor tomorrow if I want. Or ANYONE can walk into a methadone clinic and get put on methadone. The war on drugs is a fricking joke.

Easier than going through the black market, yes

Because they would be much safer

If you haven't looked into Portugal and the success they've had with a different approach to drugs, you should

Impossible.

They cook shite up in the lab every day more dangerous than legal drugs would be. Prohibition isn't stopping people from using

This is the one thing I can agree with the Libies on.

The plan is to GIVE them away at health clinics. We offer treatment, or let them use all they want.
Put them in a dumpster when they're done. Bring school kids on tours to show them the truth first hand.

But the gov would screw it up somehow.

Yeah, I know you think that is all it would take but it wouldn't be all. A nice supplement maybe.

So we should just legalize meth, heroin, cocaine, crack, pcp, etc?

Great idea

Legal and PRESCRIBED Oxycontin and Oxycodone are safe?

WTF are you talking about?Any idea how much death and destruction BOTH have caused?

Do you have any idea of how many additional addicts and
deaths there have been since the introduction of "legal" and manufactured opiods?

Im as conservative as they come but I think the war on drugs is the biggest crock of shite known to man. Take the black market out by legalizing it all and watch the crime drastically go down. This will never happen though because too many jobs depend on fighting the war on drugs.
