I am sure a widescale decriminalization of hard drugs south of the US border will be applauded in Washington. It would solve a large part of the drug crime problems in these countries, while raining down industrial quantities of pharmaceutical grade heroin on the US streets.
- JamesBarney 8y agoI had a ex-friend(went to middle school with him) die recently from a drug overdose, and when I was talking with his parents on the way to the burial site his dad said that he could take him to any town in the U.S. and he could find heroin, get back to the hotel, and get high in under an hour. I don't think supply is limiting the amount of drugs that abusers are doing.

Overdose is the failure of dose management. Harm reduction is less profitable than addiction. Wars create jobs and huge profits. Collateral damage is the human cost. Success wasn't the goal.
