They swung the pendulum too far. Pot should be legalized, and it appears mushrooms should be as well since they are having positive impacts on mental health. Legalizing PCP, Heroin, Meth, Cocaine is just too far. Real crimes are committed to often when those drugs are used. Just my 2 cents
I don't want pot legalized entirely, simply because that shit fucking STINKS. It makes its users smell like they just got sprayed by every skunk in the county. You wanna use at home? Fine. You use in your car in the parking lot? Ticket. Stop subjecting the rest of us who hate that smell to you.
So take away those rights because you don't like the smell? What if the guy next to you hates Lysol, should we make that illegal also? Anything that smells is now illegal! That is the most assinine shit I have ever heard. I think some of you like freedom as long as you are in the mood.
Your boy was not talking smoke, he was talking smell. Maybe I need to explain to you the difference? Let freedom ring unless maga boy can smell you lol....shakes head...Are you vaccinated by chance?
If you don't like it, then make it illegal!
Stuff those harmless (but stinky) pot smokers in prison to rot until they die!
Destroy their families!
All at enormous cost to the taxpayers funding the destruction.
Fuck freedom, they stink!
Illegal is illegal.
Illegal means enforced by violence.
If a pothead gets tickets he never pays because it infringes on freedom, what happens to his life?
My previous post was meant to show the parallels with the lefttards. They don't think things through and they think they know best for everyone.
I use a herb vaporizer which reduces the smell quite a bit and the smell dissipates rapidly. I don't recommend people use it, but self-medicating with weed is better than anything the mental health people do.
IMHO alcohol is far worse than marijuana due to the amount of violence it instills in many people. My mother had several husbands and several boyfriends all of which were physically abusive.
That's right. If the shit grows out of the ground of its own accord how can you make it illegal? Meth and cocaine don't just grow out of the ground kek. Leave those leaves alone for the Colombian mountain climbers kek. And totally and unequivocally fuck meth. That makes 4 cents
If you follow your line of thinking I believe you are allowing your government to decide what is best for you. As in if you do something they don't consider legal it allows for them to lock you in a jail cell. Then they can determine that ivermectin is illegal and so is alcohol and then you are locked up. Also, kids can probably obtain weed more easily in places where it is illegal versus buying alcohol. Black markets also create very unsafe drugs and stronger drugs.
Drugs are a form of escapism. Throw in high doses of stress, unemployment, fractured society, attack on families and media promoting debauchery, and you will have a population with nowhere else to turn to. I don't enjoy drugs anymore but i also never thought I would have been better off in a jail cell.
Did jesus tell us opiates are bad? Just wondering. Wine is good but poppy's are bad? God gave us those Poppys, right? When Jesus comes back and tells me they are bad, I will consider it. You have no right too and either does the government.
That does not say don't drink wine. If anything that says do not abuse wine. Good advice. It hardly say drugs should not be legal though. Especially drugs that grow naturally such as marijuana, poppys and cocaine. Just to name 3. Nothing turns people into bigger assholes than alcohol.
I dont think any drugs are great buddy. I think stripping away rights because you don't like them is the road to losing a lot of freedoms. That is a slippery slope a lot of you are too short sighted to see. I had a brother die from an OD. Drugs can kill you especially when you do not know what you are taking. If drugs were legal, and regulated so you know whats in them there would not be nearly the issue. When I say legalize them that immediately removes all the douchebags lacing and cutting with F and anything else. It removes the street dealers. The shady elements. It would also raise billions from the tax. I do not base my beliefs on Trump. I am a Libertarian. I choose trump because most of what he is doing goes along with my beliefs.
Decriminalized possession is the best answer, in my opinion.
Throwing people in jail for using drugs is just retarded : doesn't help them or anyone else. Now, if they do shit while high ; different story of course. But punishing junkies for being junkies isn't the answer.
I see people like this, and I immediately think: they were an innocent kid once, full of life, hope and dreams. Life comes at you fast and a lot harder than some people can handle. How they ended up where they are isn't important. They are still a human being who has lost their way.
Make help centers more accessible and available. Those that want to help themselves will. When you get on the streets, it's damn near impossible to get out.
Before that I would like to see the southern border sealed, and more resources put into drug detection at Customs. There will always be ripple effects but you have to start somewhere.
God Bless you Fren ,, one of the best speeches and most truthful speeches concerning drug use, that I’ve ever heard!
Damn my heart felt that ! When you hear the truth you can feel it ! !
I do not think our government should have the power to tell us what we can and cannot do as long as no one but yourself pays for your actions. You do that and it never ends like its never ending now. That is a line that should never be crossed. Legalizing drugs is not socialism. The way they have it setup is not working. Let's find a way that it will work without taking rights away. There is a percentage of people, of all races, that will always be problems. With gun control, criminals , general scumbags. We should not infringe on the huge majority's rights to control the trouble makers. The solution? I don't know. I am sure if enough intelligent people with pure motive thought about it we could find a solution.
In Porto, the collection of drug-related debris from city streets surged 24 percent between 2021 and 2022, with this year on track to far outpace the last. Crime — including robbery in public spaces — spiked 14 percent from 2021 to 2022, a rise police blame partly on increased drug use

It would destroy the cartels. Legalize and tax the tar out of it. What you would buy would not be laced wth things that will kill you and you always know the exact amount of whatever you would get. All that drug money is funding black ops right now. Most of us realize that.
If I remember correctly, those stories also link the Catholic cash church collections with the Vatican and their bank and how that is used to launder drug money. I wonder what commission a bank like that could charge?
No but all those poppy fields grown in Afghanistan (and other places) certainly do. Those cartels are being assisted by alphabet agencies and they are making tons of cash on coke and poppies. The meth houses and the smalltime growers not included of course but thats also smalltime. As strongly as I feel that drugs should be regulated and legal it would not hurt my feeling if certain drugs were just destroyed forever. Meth being one. Its not natural in any form. PcP. But in an effort to not be a hypocrite I am not really getting into it.
Legalization isn't the cause, it's the effect. Vancouver was like this at LEAST 30 years ago or more. Prior to everything being legal. It was just pot and mushrooms at the "harm reduction center," but that was still illegal and you couldn't pick up if they didn't trust you.
Not a fan.
But as an Aussie who sees the benefits of cannabis and the irony that it's legal in our politicians state Canberra, make it make sense that it's acceptable for a few.
I'd say if you are going to make all the hard drugs legal then you should supply them free to the junkies, all they want. That way natural selection will set in and they will dope themselves into the grave...
What concerns me is when smoking pot then highed-up drives a car and wrecks or kills someone. They are under the influence but all say its ok. I had a pizza delivery who couldnt even make it to the front door.
The government war on marijuana has been ruthless. For something significantly safer than alcohol.
Perhaps marijuana helps break programming.
If so, corporations would be adamantly opposed.
==========
But none of that explains why capitalists have not capitalized on the "legal" drug market in Vancouver. A company that entered the market with a safe alternative to the street poison would be an overnight success.
Legalize it but put a tax on it so no one can afford it. Make a joint cost a couple hundred bucks. Then meth should be a grand for one hit. Soon folks will realize no matter how much they sell themselves, they still won't be able to afford a hit. And those dogooders who want to give away free drugs, they cannot afford it either. Make Uncle Sam rich, again. Tax the piss out of drugs.
Make a joint a couple hundred bucks?
A marijuana joint?
It's medicine and shouldn't be denied.
Australia already has it illegal excluding the politicians state of course 🤨🤦
This will do far more good than bad. People watch this video and just do not get it. The bottom line is again, no one has the right to tell you you what you can or cannot do...especially your government AS long as no one suffers consequences of you actions besides you. These people that want to make this and that illegal, where does it end? Its a row of dominos that got us where we are. No human being has right to dictate to another unless the other is a minor. The fact we are arguing this is disturbing.

That’s like, your opinion man.
Weed smells good to me, I use a dry herb vape to lessen the smell for others and to do less damage to my vocal cords.
Luster pods, for all of the wins.
So take away those rights because you don't like the smell? What if the guy next to you hates Lysol, should we make that illegal also? Anything that smells is now illegal! That is the most assinine shit I have ever heard. I think some of you like freedom as long as you are in the mood.
By exercising your "freedom" you're subjecting me to secondhand smoke and the awful smell, thus infringing on my freedom.
You should not be subjected to 2nd hand smoke. You are right. Second hand smell is your problem however.
Not really. That's why there's no smoking in most places. Once again laws working.
Guess baby's need second hand smoke. GTFO.
Your boy was not talking smoke, he was talking smell. Maybe I need to explain to you the difference? Let freedom ring unless maga boy can smell you lol....shakes head...Are you vaccinated by chance?
People smoke Lysol in a car? That's news to me.
Can't figure that out, right?
You are comparing Lysol to weed. That's a dumb comparison.
You dont like something because of the way it smells. Or he does. What is dumb? Having to explain this again.
If you don't like it, then make it illegal! Stuff those harmless (but stinky) pot smokers in prison to rot until they die! Destroy their families! All at enormous cost to the taxpayers funding the destruction. Fuck freedom, they stink!
I love how HOSTILE you pot heads get when its not 100% on board with "legalize it maaaaaaan"
Did you even read what I said initially? "Ticket." Not "PRISON FOREVER." Maybe you should partake less, its fucking with your reading comprehension.
Illegal is illegal. Illegal means enforced by violence. If a pothead gets tickets he never pays because it infringes on freedom, what happens to his life?

Edibles are the best way to use cannabis. Easy dosage, no smell, long lasting. Very incognito.
Agreed

I guess Vancouver thought heroin, fentanyl, meth, etc was a great idea.
Drugs are for people that haven't found Jesus yet.
Did jesus tell us opiates are bad? Just wondering. Wine is good but poppy's are bad? God gave us those Poppys, right? When Jesus comes back and tells me they are bad, I will consider it. You have no right too and either does the government.
Ephesians 5:18: "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit."
Bible has a lot on subject.
That does not say don't drink wine. If anything that says do not abuse wine. Good advice. It hardly say drugs should not be legal though. Especially drugs that grow naturally such as marijuana, poppys and cocaine. Just to name 3. Nothing turns people into bigger assholes than alcohol.
So you think fentanyl is great.
That's everything Trumps against.
The videos has Fentanyl, Heroin, Meth. Not weed. Or whatever your babbling on about.
I dont think any drugs are great buddy. I think stripping away rights because you don't like them is the road to losing a lot of freedoms.

Alcohol is best left for the infirm and dying.
Anarchy then.
Anarchy is the natural state.
We need enough government to protect us from other governments.
Decriminalized possession is the best answer, in my opinion.

Yep. Let's take out the producers, funders of said producers, and the dealers.

I think state governments should make certain drugs illegal. Fentanyl is one of them. If Portland Oregon wants to be a shit hole then let them.
Trump wants to get rid of Fentanyl. I am ok with that.
now do Porto or Lisbon.
this is a failed far left socialist policy city, far more issues at hand the legalities of drugs
In Porto, the collection of drug-related debris from city streets surged 24 percent between 2021 and 2022, with this year on track to far outpace the last. Crime — including robbery in public spaces — spiked 14 percent from 2021 to 2022, a rise police blame partly on increased drug use
Portland is another one LOL
agreed about Portland, once again failed socialist bullshit city.
Porto is Portugal.

Portland Oregon is in United States if you are from another country.
Porto not Portland.
Yep. I was saying some people don't know where Portland Oregon is because purkiss and others from other countries on here
Porto is Portugal. There's a list of countries that decriminalized all drugs. Porto is one of them
I think you think I think Portland Oregon is Porto for some reason
He asked you to detail how it’s working in Porto or Lisbon because that wouldn’t fit the narrative of drugs bad. You went straight to Portland.
Not confused.

A mandatory week of dmt sessions would help cure addictions
Iboga clinics.
Being illegal is meaningless. Those video prove it. The help is not in the law.
If drugs were legal imagine what it would do for the cartels and the funding of the CIA?
probably ruin them both since those high black market margins would be gone
It would destroy the cartels. Legalize and tax the tar out of it. What you would buy would not be laced wth things that will kill you and you always know the exact amount of whatever you would get. All that drug money is funding black ops right now. Most of us realize that.
Meth houses fund the CIA?
In the early days of the CIA they supported Chiang Kai Shek against Mao. Chiang used drug money to fund his efforts and the CIA liked the idea!
See: Operation Gladio: The Unholy Alliance and Operation Gladio: the Story Of A Conspiracy
If I remember correctly, those stories also link the Catholic cash church collections with the Vatican and their bank and how that is used to launder drug money. I wonder what commission a bank like that could charge?

All the harm you currently see is happening while drugs are illegal.
Free human beings are not told what they can and cannot ingest.
Move to Vancouver. They aren't illegal there. Did you watch video?
Why aren't the stores selling the drugs?
Why aren't companies cleaning up by making the drugs?
Why is it left to the shadiest scum around to make and sell them?
This whole thing seems like planned demolition of Vancouver. Everything done in the most harmful manner possible.
The government war on marijuana has been ruthless. For something significantly safer than alcohol. Perhaps marijuana helps break programming. If so, corporations would be adamantly opposed.

No need to tax it that high. It does need to be taxed and regulated so you always know what you purchase.
Do you work for Pfizer?
Use your brain man, if you tax something to where it's so expensive nobody can afford it, all you do is make a very lucrative black market.
That's not how economics works.
Poison ivy does produce seeds.
I loved how they deleted the post after you posted haha.
Lol I didnt mean it in a rude way, I just love plants
And in short order, the junkie issue will also rectify itself!
