The way I see it:
The Lord gives us the freedom of choice.
I believe that people should have the freedom to choose AND the responsibilty to face the consequences.
If addicts in Vancouver commit crimes, they should face the consequences. If the only victim is yourself (voluntary sex work, drug use, etc.) there should be no law against it, imo. There are other ways to influence people. That’s more or less the way it was in U.S. when there was still liberty.
Getting right with God is the key. But He clearly does give us the freedom of choice. The laws should be there to protect others from one’s bad choices.
Plus prohibitions do not work, they just create pfofit incentives for criminals.
Prohibition created profit potential for organized crime. The same happens nowadays e.g. in narcotics.
If the market is open for competition, there’s usually no huge profits to be had. Big pharma, for example, profits from government regulations that act as a barrier for new competitors. I believe that big pharma is making more money and has more control now.
To say that there should be freedom of choice, does not mean that there won’t be problems and that we could not condemn some choices as individuals. And speak the truth.
Freedom comes with a price, but I believe it’s the only sustainable way.
I think fentanyl became popular because less harmful recreational drugs weren't readily available. There could also be limitations on what drugs are legalized. Maybe only sell them through a government dispensary that is open from 12 to 4pm.
Kills the black market but also limits their availability.
Trump wants to put drug dealers up for death penalty.
You and Milei want people to have unlimited access to drugs.
Go look at videos of Vancouver who decriminalized drugs, its a nightmare.
You cant have your pie and eat it. No woman deserves to be a sex worker. I wouldnt want that for any members of my family, would you?
I strive for Earth as it is in Heaven. Just as the lords prayer would say.

Incentives for criminals? I get what you're saying, but if it's legalized, it's big pharma making money. ;o)
