We are throwing people in jail because they don't have a doctors note for their painkillers. Does anyone else see the MADNESS of that? Am I taking crazy pills!?!? It's criminally insane, truly.
The elements of a crime are injury and intent. Actus Reus and Mens rea. When someone possess or sells something, anything, neither are present. Certainly medicines/drugs.
The only people who benefit, besides the medical cartels, are cops, judges, prisons, lawyers and the KM/DS.
Also, if "they" want someone in jail or dead, all they need to do is plant some "drugs" on them and that's all she fucking wrote. Done.
All drugs need to be legalized immediately and sold to adults in drug stores, pure and clean. All the associated crime/gangs will disappear overnight. It's the ONLY solution. We MUST drop the brainwashing and face this.
They had been fighting the biker gangs in Canada for decades, at great cost. They legalized weed and the bikers were put mostly out of business almost overnight. If they legalized everything else, they'd be totally gone.
Using the criminal law to parent adults is fucked up beyond measure.
The governments job is to protect our rights, not to parent us from the barrel of a gun.
The notion comes from the Declaration of Independence, based in millennia of Common Law.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,

Thanks for the comment. You make some good points, it's a lot to unpack but I'll try.
Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean protect us from tyranny? When I say "parent" I mean telling us how to live and behave, like a parent would. Telling us what medicines to take or not take, and worse, using the criminal law and sending men with guns when they don't like our choices, choices that do not cause injury to others. u/narg explains this very eloquently in the comment section of the following post. The linked article is great too.
Gang Deportations Are a Fool’s Errand; Instead, End the Drug War

The government protects our rights by prosecuting those who would violate them but also by not prosecuting us when we use our rights in an unpopular way, think the 1A and 2A. If I defend myself and someone tries to charge me, it's the governments job to tell them to fuck off, thereby protecting my rights. Ideally, that's how it should work. I protect myself, the government protects me after the fact. I offend someone, they attack me, I shoot them.... no crime.
Injury and intent are the elements of a crime, but in order to prosecute that crime we need a claimant with standing. For example, if my buddy gets robbed or beaten it's up to him to press charges. I can't press charges because it doesn't affect me directly so I don't have standing, my buddy does.
It's more complicated when we talk about fentanyl from China. It's not a matter of criminal law but of international law. If we have a problem with another county we can use sanctions or tariffs or even bombs to deal with them. If someone sells fentanyl inside our borders, and it's labeled properly, there is no crime. If someone sells fentanyl when it's labeled heroin, we have a problem. The main issue here is that people don't want fentanyl, they want heroin. If they could buy pure cheap heroin at the pharmacy there would be no demand for fentanyl. People don't usually want to die, the OD's are accidental from street drugs with zero quality control. If someone want's to die, they'll find a way and it's on them, it doesn't injure others. It sounds cold blooded, but the government can't stop me from having morphine in my survival kit because someone may kill themselves with it or use it recreationally.
Things aren't criminal, behavior is.
Yes, as their second job.
offer public services.
If something is declared dangerous by a government agency, and it is put in food without being labeled then we have as case. We can have a criminal trial if we have a claimant with standing, Then the prosecution will have to prove TO A JURY the substance was in fact dangerous and it was added knowingly and surreptitiously. Then, and only then, can we deprive someone of their liberty by jailing them, because both elements of a crime were proved in a court of competent jurisdiction. This then creates precedent but if a new case happens it will have to be proved to a new jury, who can follow precedent or not.
