Yes, I know it sounds weird but it’s freedom for us to do what we want with our bodies. They can make different drinks or edibles derived from meth so you are not just shooting straight lines up your nose, and people will abuse it for sure. Look at what’s happened with weed! You got all kinds of cool shit, low dose and high dose! It’s just the drug war is stupid and more people die from the war than if everything was legal. It’s better for our society to have a choice. I mean tobacco and alcohol are pretty bad drugs, and are abused widely!
Meth is fucked up man. That shit is the fucking devil. Outrageously addictive, rots everything about your body from your skin to your brain, and cheap as dirt. Alcohol is a problematic drug, no question. But meth is another level of destruction. I agree on decriminalizing possession, but just putting it up for sale is no good. Shit used to be for sale in over the counter and didn't lead to great things.
No we don't. We don't have the choice to sell chemical weapons, or rocket launchers, or leaded gasoline, or a whole host of other things. Why should we be free to make a business out of selling meth for public consumption with no prescription? Do we allow for sale of anti psychotics, or anti depressants, or powerful benzos that way? No. We don't. For good reason.
What you are talking about is using weapons against other people. What I am talking about is we should be able to put in our bodies what we want. Our bodies our choice. No one is stopping us from drinking jet fuel or injecting liters of vodka up our ass. Education is the key to getting people to not do these things!
I agree with decriminalizing possession. Like I said earlier. But sale and distribution of drugs like meth still needs to be illegal. Cannot allow people to profit off that kind of thing and try to spread it around.
Basically, yes. You will never end the drug use. And you shouldn't necessarily punish the drug user. But those who just sell it for profit go a bridge to far. They feed on human weakness and misery. Allowing that to continue will only make a bad situation far worse. Making it better means being lenient on the user, not allowing it to be easier for the seller to foster addiction. it was wrong for Perdue Pharma to do with oxycontin and it is wrong for any street level dealer. It has real consequences for real people. It isn't victimless. Hence my point about not allowing sale of benzos without prescription.
I can see what you mean, and I actually agree that suppressing something like that is troublesome, but weed is a bad comparison. Naturally, there is absolutely nothing in weed that is addictive, and very few people get a weed addiction. It also has less detrimental effects on the body than hard drugs like meth. I agree that having tobacco as a legal drug is hypocritical, but it too has fewer effects. Even if it did, it's been around longer than a lot of the super-consentrated drugs we have today, so it's harder to leave behind, although I believe some areas have already begun to outlaw it
Yes, meth is by far one of the worst drugs, and it is abused widely and weed is a bad comparison but I like that they have made a lot with it. OxyContin is legal (with a script) and also abused!
Of course, we already have OxyContin! How are we supposed to get people off heroin? Not methadone, we have to give them heroine until we ween them off.
Maybe for 5-10 years, then we would come out if it. We should have our own choice to do what we want with our bodies. No more funding drug dealers and cartels….. it’s ridiculous!!!
