What you all think of decriminalizing drugs?

[simonsaysgoham]

I'm all for decriminalization for drugs but to say that drugs like heroin can be used responsibly is crazy talk

Can't post links yet but look up "Meet the Man Trying to Legalize Drugs" on youtube. It's an interview starring Carl Hart

they should be decriminalized and addiction treatment should be more widespread. ******** and its derivatives used to cut heroin and pressed pills are leading to most overdoses now

[OPGenesis]

Sure, man.

Decriminalize heroine. What could go wrong?

History proves things only get better when the population is addicted to powerful narcotics that can ruin someones entire life after their first time using.

Then they can spend a life time destroying society to fuel their habit.

As long as it can be taxed, and GDP augments, that is all that matters!

I was outpatient treated a while ago, and did some time with a few people addicted to opioids from FL.

They said addiction was rampant down there.

But, like you said, decriminalize it, and make access easy.

Nothing can go wrong.

Absolutely nothing.

We just need more treatment facilities when peoples lives get out of control.

Solid plan.

Exactly this. People say trying heroin one time is like having someone who was born blind, attain sight for the first time.

Opioids provide the best feeling ever. And all your problems just melt away.

The only problem is doing them over long periods of time isn't sustainable physically or financially.

[SmillironS]

Been down the addiction road and I can tell you, from experience, that the most successful people you know are coke heads and at least half of them chase the dragon regularly. The problem with drugs and drug laws is the majority of the people who are in charge of drug legislation like next to nothing about drugs. My personal opinion is everything short of meth and fetanyl should be legalized which would in turn make meth and fetanyl a thing of the past. There’s a lot of moving parts to such scenarios but I believe in personal responsibility more than govt intervention and any potential OD after legalization should be chalked up as Darwinism.

[bigcat3655]

Addicts of the serious stuff are the ones out shoplifting, doing burglaries, and breaking into cars.

[chaunce54]

They should definitely decriminalize MJ.

For the harder drugs, at least keep the "distribution" laws.

[simonsaysgoham]

Agreed, that's the problem. A lot of em end up negatively affecting others

lol what a terrible take. putting somebody in prison for drugs is counterintuitive; it costs taxpayers tons and provides zero help for addicts. nobody who wants to abuse opioids is waiting for them to be legal and nobody is immediately addicted to opioids and ruining their lives after the first time trying them lol

[Weightaholic]

The war on drugs has been a miserable failure, serving only to enrich drug dealers and those who profit from "enforcement". Time to try something different.

[Godfrd824]

Sure legalize it all. Also make help for those who want it easier to get, also, stop saving those who OD.

[GreatOldOne]

I would study first how changes already happening in Colorado and other places are really affecting things...before doing anything else.

I’m for it

Also, no more drug tests for work

They have a war on drugs in kangaroo land?

Play stupid games

[Weightaholic]

Yes, my pet kangaroo has a serious meth habit.

[Skwidward]

Play stupid games

It’s essentially what they want and shouldn’t be looked at as a tragedy

Pop one of these folks with some narcan, and you just sucked them out of heaven and into the hell they wanted to escape—the gutter laying in their own puke

[StinkholePatrol]

How ridiculous.

Look up opium in china history.

Ill give you the TLDR:

China currency backed by silver
Wouldn't accept UK's fiat in exchange for goods.
UK infiltrate's opium into their country
Ruins generations




Marijuana should be illegal as well - misdemeanor with 3k or 20hours of community service for possession.

Small time trafficker's should get misdemeanor week in jail + fine.

Large traffickers should get felony - long-term jail



People have tried legalizing drugs before. It doesn't work. You guys are falling for subversion. Marijuana is about as far as you can go. But even I believe marijuana should be regulated.

Last I knew decriminalization was working well for Portugal.

[JayJ350]

"drugs need to be decriminalized because prohibition doesn't work and it gives money to the black market where there is no control"

yet...

"we need to ban guns and prohibition works"

- the left

1/10 trolling....

[Streetbull]

****.

Put the top people in a building and tell them to invent ****, as in Brave New World.

[JT11RTR]

I say if you want to decriminalize all drugs then no calling 911 when someone overdoses. They chose to do drugs. Let them die.

[SmillironS]

Also on board for this, consequences for actions is an infallible truth, hiding from it is foolish.

[Smob3]

Ask yourself this: how many people are sitting around waiting for heroin and meth to become legal before they try it?

[Maestro]

Sure, man.

There's a difference between legalizing and "decriminalizing"

The problem is the people that are addicted are going to find it regardless of the penalties associated being caught with it. It can be a year in jail, or the death penalty people that are already addicted are going to get it and they don't care about the consequences of getting caught. Throwing them in jail is wasted tax dollars.

If heroin was legal I still have absolutely no desire to try the stuff because I know how much it can ruin someones life. I've spent enough time dealing with people of other addictions (MTM clinic for 4 years) so it doesn't interest me at all, and maybe if the drugs were decriminalized, cops can spend more time going after actual criminals instead of druggies minding their own business in stupor under the overpass.

[TLTrooper]

Possession and especially trafficking should continue to be illegal.

You may see them in the streets, walking like zombies, but you don't see them inside the hotel room they use as a home with their kids sleeping on the bed next to theirs. You don't see it in the open view and immediate reach of the kids. As a society we used to cry about crack-babies, but now its all about "hey its a victimless crime" and all that nonsense.

[JuicedMayhem]

Well I’m already self destructing from alcohol might as well legalize everything so I’ll have more pleasurable options to kill myself with. Or make alcohol illegal too since it’s nothing but another nightmare drug that destroys your life.

Make alcohol illegal plz crew.....
