For a stronger fairer society sell all drugs just like alcohol.
Far too many have died from drug poisonings.
It's a policy choice to make your neighbors buy only from gangsters.

Anti-drug policy directly affects doctors' prescribing numbers. Whether they do it intentionally or not the consequences are the same.
Biased science means biased studies which means bad data.
You can have drug discrimination, or you can have factual "evidence-based medicine," but not both.

With Florida's ban on 7-OH they are effectively moving it from barely registering to maximum damage.
Good bye independent 3rd party lab testing, known dosages, and instructions.
Hello gangsters and things like Fentanyl in the supply.
Market regulation was clearly the better option.
Shame.

Here is a petition to keep 7-oh users decriminalized if you would like to sign it. The reality is that this the only option a lot of people have before they are venturing into the unregulated supply. This prevents Fentanyl poisoning.

This video is from the Krome ICE detention center in Miami. He’s saying that they’re essentially kidnapped. You can see how overcrowded it is, and other reports have stated that the detainees are denied adequate water.

The multidistrict litigators are running the same scam they ran against Purdue and opioid users on the food industry now. Remember they created the "Fentanyl" crisis that has claimed so many lives. People with specific dietary requirements will die if they succeed in their new prohibitions.

What's tragic about this is that it does nothing to stop unregulated drug deaths.
Even if 100% of Fentanyl were removed from space and time people would still be dying because the drug supply is unpredictable.
Upwards of 90% of the deaths are preventable by regulating all drug use like alcohol.

The Senate just passed the HALT Fentanyl Act to permanently classify fentanyl as a Schedule 1 drug and ensure law enforcement has the tools they need to stop its flow into the US.

I concur with the drug supply volatility explanation.
People didn't stop using drugs, and there are no new legal drug stores or bars.

I'm glad deaths are significantly declining in many places around N. America. I think the widespread trend is likely mainly related to changes in the drug supply and consumption patterns (possibly some short term influence from interdiction activities complicating production).

The political class use CBT and psychology in situations where traditionally cops and probation were used. It's basically a tool that trains people to blame themselves for circumstances and problems, rather than the system which generates them.

During liquor prohibition, 90% of the bootleg liquor sold in the USA was poisonous.
Tens of thousands of people were killed. Even more were blinded or injured.
This problem wasn't solved with mandatory treatment for alcoholics!
It was solved by ending liquor prohibition.

THREAD: OPIUM TEA BAN LED TO HEROIN
A mild opium tea called "doda" was widely sold in Canada until 2009.
Doda is made by grinding dried poppy heads & stalks into a powder, then adding hot water.
Before 2009 there were zero media reports of social problems or crime arising from doda use.

⚠️ KnowYourStuff, New Zealand's drug checking project, has detected mercury chloride being sold as MDMA.
A strange, (thankfully) rare and highly dangerous finding.
Even a small dose can be fatal! ☠️

Basically you can see that the drug supply became more toxic and unpredictable, and the doctors weren't prescribing the drugs people wanted / needed. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Those human rights violations are still taking place against drug users.

Indeed. Sodomy laws worked the same way: somebody said you were gay, and if the cop thought you were gay then you were arrested, and the trial consisted of someone pointing and saying "you're gay" and then convicting you.
Obviously, this was not universally enforced, just against undesirables.
Obviously, this was not universally enforced, just against undesirables.
One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of forms of regulation of recreational sex and birth control would/will be largely broken-taillight-type laws. By which I mean when you create a law you can’t possibly really enforce, it’s just a blanket power to selectively harass people you don’t like.
