War on drugs in the PI is working. China too. The same war on drugs advocates here in the U.S. cry loudly that its too harsh. I believe its going to remain a big problem here. Been several good ideas IMO posted. Starting with end welfare. Thats too harsh also for the war on drugs advocates.

When we controlled Afghanistan, we could of easily roundup-ed the opium poppy fields there that were the main source of the taliban's income. Why were they not destroyed?

At the time 80% of the world's opiun was grown in Afghanistan. We controlled the country for about 10 years and never even slowed it down. Amazing isn't it. It's almost like The drugs are ran by the government or at least they don't want them stopped. But that doesn't make since now.

I’ll explain the difference. A bullet has to be forced into your skin, fentanyl can be absorbed through. I can walk into a crowded stadium with a balloon and a teaspoon of fentanyl. Go to the restroom and fill the ballon with tap water, mix the fentanyl in it and return to my seat. Wait for the crowd to stand for that home run and give it a toss.
Your turn, how are you getting the AR in the entrance?
My good sir, are you saying gun free zones work? Maybe we could out up a "fentanyl free zone" too, and that would stop you from bringing in the fentanyl filled balloon .

Hobby You miss the entire point. You obviously are ok with restricting freedom as long as it is in line with your idea. I'm a radical federalist. Leave it up to the individual states, where the citizens can vote on their own drug policy. Everybody gets a say in the vote: those who want to get high, but also those who would have to deal with the fallout that widespread drug addiction causes to society. Everybody has the chance to weigh the tradeoffs and cast their vote. And if your state didn't vote the way you like, you're free to move to another that did.

They keep trying to make an argument that taking deadly drugs can be an intelligent responsible action it don’t get any dumber then that!  If its your wish, right or however you will try to sell the idea it’s just a poor choice. So do you folks use in front of your kids/ family so no reason to hide from friends, family and coworkers then. It’s something to be proud and shared with your circle of friends?
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

People bring up booze and say it see what happened with control of it, right it didn’t work lol So what makes you daylight wanna be users think that having worse is going to be easier to control ?
Just because some scream we are not free to do what we want or use what we desire , does not mean You lost any thing , it means humans cant control them selves with certain elements, saying other wise just shows you are partly responsible for others using and have already lost control of their reactions to using !
Nobody here has said they're gonna start using hard drugs or that doing so is a good idea. You're both completely misunderstanding what's being argued here.

My opinion is that dope is so easy to get that anyone who wants it is already using.

Oh I understand just as well as those trying to squeeze out more drug free laws here ! it's exactly the same with them, they ignore
the obvious health concern for everyone when drugs are freely used with not so much as a look see at ones prior history of use, not that it matters, they ignore the fact that hospitals and others using them know exactly how serious using these drugs can be with a wipe of their hands that there is already to much restraint on them !!
Seems both sides disagree with the opinion of each others, one is for free use the other is for continued restraint and medical use, since when has it been a problem for a differing opinion on such a tough topic ? Part of having a free country is hashing out different opinions, most other countries don't have this choice, I'm happy we do and could cares less if others don't care or like it, but I don't condone them for expressing theirs either !
When history shows that these drugs and others has already proven the loss of life and problems caused by people trying to use these drugs for party time, that always turns into addiction and loss of control of using them, and say no restraint it should be a free choice, yet still ignore the fact of danger these cause, show they are not educated as much as they feel or seem they are, and probably have not had to deal with an addict in any situation as well, and if they have and still ignore that fact, what do they say to the kids when they will come up and ask for funds for another hit ??

I vote no. I get kinda annoyed at the doctors perspective. I had bad shingles pain and took some left over oxy I had for cancer pain Nobody cares. I told the nurse I was taking an herb...ashwagandha, and she says no, quit that, it might interfere with your treatments. I politely indicated that I wasn't going to comply.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

PF just pointing out how legalization of all drugs was/is a complete failure. The cost associated with "freedom" likely matches the cost of the war on drugs in both money and destroyed lives. Well they don't prosecute very many crimes there. So No risk if you steal or rob someone to get money for your fix. They encourage crime, riots ect. not much of a comparison if it were say a state like Florida where they would/ could be killed for the robbery. In Florida the sheriff will pat the victim of a robbery on the back after shooting. in Oregon The victim would be arrested.

If you want drugs you have them and can get anything you want at any time . Being illegal does nothing to reduce drug use. People are responsible for their choices not the government. And no one can name a single success or positive result from decades on the war on drugs. That says it all .
I know more than a few recovered drug addicts, most recovered after being sent to jail/prison or court mandated rehab. If it was not illegal the court would have no say amd most of those people would have continued to spiral. In my mind that is a positive result and a success. You won't probably agree but thats ok.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.
