Loading ...That’s how the over reach starts.. These damn drug addicts, drunks, unemployed, thugs, then, christians, gun toting rednecks, anti vaxers, smokers, tea partiers, southern flags, now pork, we gotta make laws against them. Unconstitutional laws, demonizing and bias.
The drug addicts are not going to the police department and will not stop but promote illegal drugs.
If they made them legal it would put a damper on the drug dealers including out of South America and crime just as prohibition caused crime. Not everyone addicted to drugs are criminals including chronic pain but as long as they are illegal it could result in it if they can’t afford it.
The gov makes a lot of money confiscating drug money that has now spilled over to the honest money being accused of being drug money. There’s no money in it for them to legalize drugs.
While working intake at the jail occasionally I know if there were better treatments to help them they would take it. Also seen people who supported their own habits, didn’t steal or rob but worked and it destroys their ability to work as punishment for a habit. It’s harsh and inhumaine when they are not bothering anyone else, themselves anyways. The drug dealers might be another story higher up in the chain.
I didn’t see the manufacturers being held responsible for pushing drugs as non addicting when they were causing problems for thousands who some move on to illegal drugs like heroin and the chemical changes in their brain while the drug manufacturers laugh all the way to the bank.
