Certainly never costs the taxpayer anything.

Certainly not more dangerous than cannabis too.

Have had Rage Against the Machine on heavy rotation for the last couple weeks. Killing in the Name of indeed.

apparently you haven't watched Reefer Madness recently...I mean, the govt wouldn't lie to us.

total aside, but I really don't get Floyd's body being sent around the country and so many standing in lines for a viewing.....but then I never understood it for heads of state either, but at least ppl know them prior to death

You want to legalize drugs…great. But for what reason??? Because they do drugs any way and this will keep the out og jail? Because it can be taxed and the gov. will make more $$$??? Is that what we want???? Do you think legalizing drugs will lead to more people on drugs???? You can bet on that. (For the record…I don't care if they legalize drugs ore not. I can step over the bodies.) And as far as the gov. making $$$ of the legalization of drugs…far more will be spent on therapies, treatments, support groups etc.

Re: Non-violent crime……someone on FOX News (GASP!!!) this morning mentioned subway fare jumpers. This is a problem now. What happens when no one goes to jail for repeat crimes such as this??? Pretty soon very few will pay the fare. This is followed by massive amounts of $$$ buying and installing different entrance barriers for the 400+ stations. Is that a good idea. When there is no penalty for non-violent crimes…what is there to stop constant nonviolent crimes.

This all goes to the quality of life that we wish to have.

One more thing re: legalization of drugs………how come when people don't buy into climate change and all the Covid warnings that they are science deniers. They're all stupid, uninformed science deniers. But when people want to do drugs despite all that science warns against…you never hear about science deniers. Always though that was interesting.

There have been places that have done it and it doesn't lead to much in the way of increases in drug use for a couple of reasons. One is obvious. These places spend Waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy less on law enforcement and Waaaaaayyyyyy more on drug treatment. The second is funnier. People have this concept that drugs, especially the hard ones like heroin or methamphetamine are like god's vagina... and one little taste and you are going to love it. Truth is the vast majority of people that try drugs like these either have a "god this is awful... I'm vomiting" reaction, or a "what's the big deal about this... I'd rather just have a few beers," reaction. So in places were this stuff has been decriminalized (which is definitely the way to go... you could still lock up large scale dealers of the ****) there is a slight increase in the number of people trying drugs (especially in the beginning) but the vast majority of those folks do not go on to use regularly.

Also what's all this science behind not doing drugs? just asking cause I'm literally a scientist who studies drugs.

I been listening to a bit of them as of late too. Slumped "The Ghost of Tom Joad" to start my day today. Killer non-album track (well until they later included it on the Renegades album).

Nope. Sluggo wouldn’t buy into false stereotypes about a group he has no connection to.

Really that was simply an excuse to work the words "God's Vagina" into a post.

Out of touch nonsense with zero citations or corroborating information.

Okay, nothing wrong with that. It's a start.

John Oliver had a phenomenal show last night.

Wow!
