While the sale of narcotics can and should be regulated, regulation does not mean
prohibition. Regulation must be within the spirit of regulation, or it becomes
prohibition outside the spirit of regulation, and therefore crime.

A few years ago doctors were screaming because one or
two oxycontin ODs would show up every week ... now it's
ten or twenty times as many herion/fenanyl cases.
What changed ? Well, in a celebrated self-righteous move
the FDA and other agencies moved to super-regulate the
availibility of factory opioids ... no more "hillbilly heroin" to
be handed out willy nilly. Why THAT would solve the
problem ! They'd all become good church-goin' bible-
thumpin' collection-plate-fillin' model citizens again !
Thank us on your knees for "doing something" !!!
Well .......... instead of turning left to go to the pharmacy
all those sinners turned right instead to where the heroin
dealers lived - and a new profitible industry was born,
one of vast proportions. Anybody with a 3-digit IQ
could have told 'em that would happen ... guess
self-righteousness lowers IQ scores eh ?
So now we've gone from the "Oxy annoyance" to the
'opioid CRISIS' ...
Think they're gonna change their approach and attitude ?
Nope. Not a chance. If anything they'll just use a bigger
hammer since the smaller one didn't yeild the expected
result. That's how Americans do things.
And our political leaders ... the puritans and bluenoses
and do-gooders and soccer-moms and bible-thumpers
and for-profit prisons and cop-stuff-makers put HUGE
amounts of money in their campaign war-chests ... so
they ain't gonna do dick. Most of them do have 3-digit
IQs but they're not on any mission to promote sanity ...
just on missions to increase their own wealth and power.
And that's that.
Want sanity ? Well, move to ... um ..................
