I spent a fair amount of time in the trenches as a prosecutor, and saw close up how drug war funding fuels aggressive policing but doesn’t create any real positive outcomes in the community.
We will never solve the problem of drugs - I’m sure humans have been finding ways to get high since they lived in caves.
We should redirect massive amounts of funding from interdiction to addiction prevention and treatment programs, with a very heavy emphasis on building a much bigger and better capacity for mental health services across the board. Most addicts have trauma and are self medicating. Half of all children experience some kind of violence in childhood. Many of the judgy mcjudgertons on this board who rail against drug use are drinking too much, eating too much, sex addicted, etc. as ways of dealing with their own unresolved MH problems.
We’d accomplish more by building a more compassionate society, but that’s not a winning campaign slogan so of course it won’t fly.
Everywhere decriminalization has been tried it’s been a disaster. You can’t make people go to treatment. Maybe we should have laws that make it easier to commit people with untreated mental illness, but the principal foes of that are the same people who are pushing for decriminalization. Enabling disguised as “compassion is not a kindness.
It’s progressives operating in an imaginary world of “what I wish it was” rather than “what it is.” They do this all the f’ing time, the consequences are always disastrous, & they never learn from it.
Migrants, come on in; defund cops; no cash bail; giving drugs to addicts; letting protesters “blow off steam”; being nice to Iran; on & on & on.

Or, the addicts start with pot and other gateway substances as fun party drugs and progress from there.
Yet that is not actually what happens with opiods especially oxy. My son was prescribed oxy when he was 6 years old. 6 YEARS OLD.
My H was just like the cop in Dopesick... he was like that drug is not safe for kids give him tylenol with codeine.
They were like not it's really, really safe.... it wasn't and people were giving that sh*t to kids.

It's not a "tragedy." It sucks for the family, but it's not a tragedy as it was entirely predictable.
It IS ironic, however, given the boasts of the grandmother about how well the child was raised. Turns out to be just another junkie.

WTAF. I don’t think the public knows the circumstances about this. Do you call all college who try a drug a junkie? Because LOTS of college kids try drugs and it might have been something like Percocet laced with Fentanyl.
and lots of college kids don’t try drugs.
+1. We are supposed to be outraged and give it outsized attention because his parents and grandparents are big shots? This happens over 300 times every single day across the U.S. But the elites don't care since it's largely flyover state prole victims.

He is.
Moron.
Have a seat.
His priority with it is to keep it coming. Sit on the floor. Moron.
+1. No excuse for what is happening now with fentanyl from China pouring in from Mexico. Biden could stop it by next week if he wanted to.
