As I was looking at the word, ‘enforcement’, I had also made a type-o and noticed enforce cement.

It makes me wonder why people lock each other up into cement barriers in the first place.

Large or small, i.e. jail or a new wall; I honestly cannot believe we are building another imaginary border-line wall between America and Mexico.

Uncle Sam is being retarded sometimes I guess.

There is another frightening new breed forthcoming as these drug-induced babies are born into today’s society.

The parents of these babies are doctor-created zombies to begin with.

The simple difference between Mary Jane and the rest is so over-looked but yet so clearly evident. ADDICITION!

Cops need to do their damn jobs but they just don’t!

Yes, and that includes the failed drug enforcement agency..I for one, am so sick of this phoney charade!

Not as a moral issue. For public health reasons.

Those substances ought to be banned from commerce and sale for approximately the same reasons that other unsafe products are already subject to banning or recall from the marketplace. And the first resort of a governmental crackdown on the market should be simple confiscation of the unsafe product. That measure alone is both more respectful of civil rights and more practical & effective than the present War/Criminalization effort.

I think that heroin and cocaine possession should be decriminalized for personal possession, and possibly made available under some circumstances by medical prescription.

But if substances as capriciously, potentially lethal as heroin and cocaine- i.e., significantly more easy to lethally overdose on than even 195 proof grain alcohol- are legalized for over-the-counter purchase, it seems to me that the logic pretty much follows that there be no prescription medication regulation at all.

If you think that drugs as powerful as heroin and cocaine don’t kill or permanently disable people on a regular basis- even confirmed addicts- you aren’t apprised of the facts. Both of those drugs are powerful enough to drop people all the time, without warning. They both have LD50s in very small amounts. The high tolerances often developed by addicts can be said to lower the risk of overdose, but it never guarantees immunity from that fatal consequence. A lot of addicts are fond of getting really, really high on those substances, and the line between achieving that and getting really, really dead is really, really blurry.

That’s one reason that I wonder how popular a policy of prescription heroin or cocaine would ever be with physicians. I think the legal indemnity issues could be a real deal-breaker. (I anticipate some additional insights into that aspect from a couple of “celebrity doctor trials” that are in progress at this very moment.)

I wouldn’t be surprised to find advocates here for an approach of free market availability for all pharmaceutical drugs, over the counter, cash on the barrelhead. But I’m personally opposed to that at present, and it will require some strong arguments in order to get me to change my mind. I’m ready to hear them out, but I’m skeptical.

I don’t think that possession of small amounts of any drug should be grounds for legal penalties or intervention, in the case of adults. However, I view civil confiscation of a personal stash as possibly defensible, in the case of the most toxic or offensive substances.

I’m open to considering the legalization of dilute natural products like coca tea for sale. Quite a bit of that was being sold on eBay for several years, and I never heard of a single adverse consequence in connection with it.

I’m also open to the legalized sale of dilute opiates, as long as they’re sold in concentrations less toxic than ethyl alcohol, in preparations formulated for oral ingestion only, like cough medicines.

I support limits on the amounts that someone can purchase from a single outlet- or, conceivably, even within a given time period. But in principle, I’m not averse to legal sales of dilute coca or opiate preparations to adults, as long as they’re properly regulated for safety and dosage.

No doubt, there are some people out there who won’t be satisfied until they can legally pick up 3.75 gram packages of 90+% pure base cocaine or heroin as easily as they can buy imported cigars. And in the case of the psychedelic drugs, I suppose there will always be those who won’t feel justified until they can buy 100 doses of LSD as easily as they can purchase a case of whiskey.

Good luck with all that.

You’ll have to find another recruit for those causes. Not me.
