Conceding drugs are dangerous and conceding that we want to stop addiction to those drugs is no way to go about ending prohibition.

The only reason any drug is dangerous is because it’s sold on the black market and thus impure, of unknown quantity, concentration, and content… and the fact that people are not educated about how to use drugs properly.

With proper instruction and pure non-black market OTC drugs bought at Walmart, heroin use is far safer than skydiving or basejumping.

Stop making these concessions. Drugs are PERFECTLY safe and a wonderful way to spend one’s recreational time. Recreational drug use should be encouraged and enjoyed. We should hope that lots of people use drugs, just like any other product. Higher drug use will create more tax revenue, more jobs, and make the DOW go up – which is the only thing that really matters in America.

No more careless concessions starting now. The new year is a perfect time to make such resolutions.

Freedom, I couldn’t agree with you more. It seems as though I recall Bu$h denying ER’s additional supplies of Narcan back when the fentanyl tainted heroin problem was occuring. His apparent reasoning was that to provide emergency rooms with Narcan to prevent overdose deaths would be encouraging drug use. So the rationale was it’s better to let people die so as to discourage drug use? Mighty “Christian” of him.

The obvious question in the anthrax case is this: “Is a prohibition/reactionary crazie deliberately tainting street heroin with anthrax to kill drug users?”

I’m no conspiracy-theorist but you’ll never convince me that AIDS and HCV didn’t come out of military germ warfare research in a scenario such as the above. I know; I’m crazy. But homosexuals and IV drug users at the same time with different virus?

I know one thing: They’re capable of it.

Our government is really a very big business,and it is run by executives with business degrees,the same as any other industry. Emotion and caring has absolutely nothing to do with the way they run it. The bottom line is the cash,and whatever it takes to keep their budgets growing,never decreasing.
With the prohibition,they created the problem,they created a bureaucracy to fix the problem and now they tell us if they will redouble their efforts(more funding)that they can control drugs.
We have spent more than a trillion dollars since Nixon
declared war on the American citizens and there are more drugs available than ever. There are more people doing drugs than ever and the prisons are running over
at the seams,so much so that county jails all over the country are “holding” convicted prisoners until a bed empties out in their prisons so they can be moved into
them. BUSINESS IS VERY GOOD!!!
Where are the bean counters? If these people worked in the private sector they would all be job hunting.Their efficiency and effectiveness are not justification for their pay.
And America is starting to realize it. They are also starting to realize that the only people that benefit from their policies is them and the industrialized prisons and jails. There are other satellite industries
such as drug testing that reap millions from their policy,but the ONDCP and it’s allies in the federal government are a major drain on America’s resources that is completely useless and ineffective.

If you’re in the insurance business, you need casualties to justify your existence. If you’re in the drug prohibition business, you also need casualties, for the same reasons.

Ghoulish? Of course. But in the case of the latter group, they do ‘feed’ off of the death and destruction caused by drug prohibition. So, ‘ghouls’ is an apt description.

So…of course they don’t want intravenous drug users to practice safer injection methods. Gives them less photo-ops for them to be seen standing over a prostrate corpse with a needle in its’ arm and pontificate about how ‘bad’ illegal drugs are and how much the prohibs are needed.

It just discusts me…!
Here these good people are reaching out to people who need HELP! and we have federal officials trying to smack them down…for what! Being human and trying to help their fellow man? What is wrong with this world we are living in!? You do something to help those in need and try reduce harms associated with their problem and you get those who try tell you its wrong to help..its wrong to try do good for HUMAN BEINGS! What we should just treat them like dirt ..lock them up…let them die?

This world makes me sick everyday! Just once I would like to wake without having to yell at my monitor or TV! Yes i have to yell at my monitor/Tv…if I went into the street yelling..Id be hauled away as a terrorists or something.

Thanks America!
