[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach every time I think about this.  In some rural communities, it is so widespread - think of all the children of these addicts.  What is their future?  We desperately need to do something about this problem, but what?

It seems not to be so simple as educating doctors (so that they don't over-prescribe opioids as pain meds).  So what next?[/quote]

Wow - it's almost like we need a war on drugs/crime, except it's fashionable right now to hate the war on drugs/crime.

It's in fashion to promote legalizing more and more types of drugs, and throw open the doors of our prisons so convicted criminals can be free to victimize the innocent.  And vote - we need more criminals voting in our elections.

What is happening in America is total insanity.[/quote]

What's your solution?[/quote]

I would begin by NOT releasing the types of convicted felons who the administration continues to release.  Look at the list published n the WaPo earlier this week: most of them are repeat offenders; all were dealing drugs and most were selling meth, crack, or heroin - these are experienced career drug traffickers.

It's insanity to release them during a heroin epidemic.[/quote]

Drug dealers do not make people take drugs. People will do ANYTHING to get high. Sniff paint, huff endust, ingalr paint thinner, glue, smoke potpourri  (yes even that).  Your suggestion is old ass uneffective Regan era failed policies. We did that. It didnt work. It will never work. Must be nice to live in a black and white world and posess no ability to problem solve outside of the box.

We have a mental health crisis you dingus. We have a jobs crisis. Taking away a small fraction of drug dealers out there will notnsolve our jobs problem and will not solve the mental health problems.[/quote]

Didn't work? Crime rates have been steadily falling for over 20 years!

WTF are you talking about, you idiot?  You must be too stoned to think at all.

And the recent heroin epidemic seems to be caused by over-prescription by doctors.  Arrest a few crooked doctors, tighten up the medical regs, and the problem should subside.
