Speaking from experience with law enforcement and narcotics involvement, I don’t understand.
It is not possible to stop illegal drugs from being available. It just isn’t. “The War on Drugs,” has been an extremely dangerous, expensive, and ultimately failed endeavor.
The fact that people can’t see the results of this type of strategy, is beyond me…
What is the US supposed to do?
We can’t go to war with every country that produces drugs that OUR citizens demand. Fentanyl, is being mass produced in China, for example. We can talk about what motivates the Chinese government to allow (support?) the production/exportation of the drug. But. If they don’t_won’t really go after it, we can’t do anything about it.
Most drugs can be/are being produced right here, in America.
It’s really fucked up to say, but I’m more tolerant of heroine and fentanyl use than crack, or meth.
Yes. Both lead users to crime in order to supply their addictions. But. At least they are pretty much unconscious, when they’re on opiods. Crack/meth heads run around killing people and are far more prone to violent crime. I’d rather someone OD on opiods, than kill someone else while on crack.
I’m telling you folks. Crack/meth makes people commit random acts of violence.
Again. It’s mind numbingly horrific to think. But. That’s my take. We just can’t stop things like drugs. We have to take the lesser evils, and live with them.
What do you think detox, and drug treatment facilities do? They put someone on legal drugs, to get them off of illegal drugs. Has anyone here ever been around people who are on methadone? They’re a dumpster fire.
Withdrawals from some drugs, are just a chronic problem. It’s important to keep in mind that alcohol withdrawal is horrific too. It’s not as miserable as opioid withdrawal, or meth, or Crack. But an alcoholic can die, without a drink.
Speaking of alcohol being legal, how did the prohibition turn out?..
