It seems like marketing mostly. Maybe I'm just too old to understand all these crazy kids these days, but I don't see the appeal in drinking my meals. I really don't think this is going to work out.

You are correct. I forgot about our friends across the pond. I believe I read heroin was supposed to be a less addictive alternative of morphine. I don't know much about opioids, I wonder what the breakdown in pricing is between commer

Ask and you shall receive. "Ohio's deal requires the state to maintain a 90% occupancy rate, but Janes said that provision remains in effect for 18 months — not 20 years — before it can be renegotiated. As part of the deal, Ohio p

Maybe. Maybe not. If any of those things did happen I most likely wouldn't be thinking logically, so I'm not sure how much weight my opinion should carry. My thought process right now is that it does absolutely no good treating pr

Going to prison shouldn't be about punishment. It should be about rehabilitation.

Or private prisons that have minimum guaranteed occupancy rates with the State. What the hell.

To be honest, I don't know. This is an interesting problem. I do know that a lot of people get hooked on Oxycotin and then turn to heroin for a variety of reasons. Though if heroin was legal it could be manufactured in a sterile enviro

You're welcome. I agree. Since the dawn of time humans have wanted to alter their consciousness. Glenn Greenwald has a great paper about drug decriminalization in Portugal. Lots of shocking graphs and statistics. The digital version is

Because the U.S. government secretly loves to profit off of both the direct selling/transportation/etc of drugs and the prison industrial complex. I recommend you read the following for more details and proof: The Politics of Hero

After hearing all of this stuff, I feel like the television show The Wire was either way ahead of its time or had really great law enforcement consultants. I'm leaning toward the latter.

The operative word being "generally". Political limitations are worthless. If they have the capability, they will abuse it. We already know they don't care about the constitution and that they have secret interpretations of l
