This story alone is reason enough to seriously start working on a program and schedule for:
- legalizing drugs and
- selling them in a controlled environment,
- taxed and
- accompanied by a heavy investment in related education in schools nationwide
...instead of throwing billions at killing our most basic rights.

- mapt 13y agoWe already have "related education" mandated as curricula in several different grades in every school system in the country. It's not uncommonly ridiculous propaganda, with blatant urban legends dramatized for your FUD, which is widely rejected by the student body. What we need is a non-criminalized mental health system that actually functions (addiction neural wiring being a subset of mental illnesses that can be acquired through the victim's actions), and a poverty / diminished capacity safety net that tries to redress problems in the way of marginalized people rejoining civil society. Essentially everything else would self-resolve after legalization.
