If someone is hopelessly addicted to an illegal drug, how does throwing them in prison help them? Actually...prison/hospital...I don't care. Just get the trash off the street and quit doing asinine crap like decriminalizing hard drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean legalization, it means that possession and use is no longer a criminal offence that will land someone in prison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decriminalization may as well be legalization to an addict. No jail time. That's all they hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me beating the hell outta my very best friend, to make me realize I had to find a way to stop. I was one of the lucky ones. That was 40 years ago and to this day, most of the addicts I knew back then, are still addicts. I still get "the twitch" once in a while. I see you idiots trying to equate Gambling, alcohol and tobacco to hard core drug addiction and think...you morons need a good lesson in just what a real addict is like. They will shoot your baby, if they think on the other side is a new fit. You wanna lock 'em up in jail or hospitals...I don't care. But this tweenkie horse shit that they care about a $100 fine, or that they'll go to a clinic/hospital for treatment is...STUPID! They will rob, lie, cheat and even kill for that next fit. Now for the love of humanity...quit trying to coddle these social misfits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I totally relate, the problem that the authorititties are now grappling with relates to a large increase in overdose deaths from street drugs. Also a lot more people are using, and harder. This is practically a global issue. Exacerbated by the availability of fentanyl, and now by covid. There’s almost no other choice but decrim, yet it brings with it a host of other issues. Do I believe that government can provide a solution to this social crisis, by helping addicts out of their condition? No. Hell no. Like playing a chess game you know you’re gonna lose. Every move just brings the end closer. Until down, down, down we all go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every move just brings the end closer. Until down, down, down we all go. There is 1 solution...but its something the Libbies would never go for...until the crisis comes to their families. As I have stated concerning illegal guns and the street gangs who have and use them...instruct the police...and the military if necessary...to go to war with these thugs. That would mean sealing the southern border tight, and going out and arresting, charging, deporting and/or jailing them for a very very long time. Till Hell freezes over, preferably. The cops already know who they are and where they are. All we have to do is take off the shackles. You treat about 10 of these pieces of shit to a life in prison and watch the violence and drug trade dip. Prices for the drugs and illegal guns would sky rocket, making it next to impossible for the local thug to get either. But this would take determination and cotton balls. Determination to see it through and cotton balls to stuff in our ears when the Libbies whine about the precious human rights of people who have already proven they are not fit for a civil society.
