I'm pro legalization of marijuana and Open to hallucinogenics like psilocybin in controlled therapy environments.
That being said we absolutely need to have some type of enforcement against hardcore narcotics like fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and meth.
I just don't believe these solution for the addicts is jail/prison.
If you want to live in a society where people are doing fentanyl and meth on the streets virtually legally I would invite you to go spend some time in San Francisco, LA or Seattle. I don't think you hold that position for very long after that.
I think the DEA should be focused on preventing those drugs from coming into our country and any manufacturing thereof within our country.
CAN anyone explain WHY THIS NATION STILL HAS BUREAU OF TOBACCO AND FIREARMS????? This has been around for centuries and needs to be gone!!!!!!!!
IF we look VERY CLOSELY AT THE US GOVERNMENT, I would make bet that there are "similar" depts that are there to make it "look" like they belong in government!!!!! Time to start stripping the unions out of government and stripping the government of "duplicate" offices!!!!!!
That's simple, it's idolatry. If you don't worship God, you worship something. Drug addiction is just one of the many things people try to substitute a relationship with God with.
Think that's the truth and you're fucking retarded. I've been working with faith-based rehabilitation programs in prison ministries for almost 20 years.
Heroin:
High overdose risk, especially with fentanyl contamination
Rapid addiction trajectory
Profound physical and psychological grip
Alcohol:
Extremely harmful at population scale
Slower path to physical dependence
Socially normalized, which increases broad harm
In sheer addiction velocity and compulsive reinforcement, heroin is generally more aggressive and more rapidly enslaving.
In total societal damage due to availability and normalization, alcohol arguably affects more people overall.
These are different axes.
Pretending they are identical because both can wreck a human being is like arguing that falling off a ladder is the same as stepping in front of a freight train because both involve gravity.
Yes, both are dangerous.
No, they are not biologically equivalent.
And serious discussions deserve more than slogan-level thinking.

The answer is simple: Destroy the ATF!!
The question in my mind is what are the societal conditions which drive people to these destructive chemicals?

Alcohol is as dangerous as heroin, makes no sense playing favorites.

I'm an ex opiate addict, the only 2 drugs I now that have ever killed people are opiates... and alcohol.
Try again retard.
I'm a Christian. Jesus's first miracle was turning water into wine.
Alcohol, when used in moderation without becoming a drunkard (which is idolatry), is a gift from God.
You're trying so hard to straw-man and it's not gonna work on anyone with an IQ higher than room temp.
PS - nicotine and stimulants kill hundreds of thousands of people per year. Cigarettes kill more people than alcohol and opiates combined dumbfuck
