I like arguing and it fills up time. Very little politics spills over to my real life. Too many more important things to think about.
Weed should be legal and all inmates who were charged with non violent weed related crimes should be released immediately.
GEEZIS. God bless her parents for listening to that.
Federal govt should legalize and tax the shit out of it, rather than letting all the states make the money.
Nothing brings the people together like some good old stinky weed

It should be legal everywhere so shitty, backwards states like Alabama can’t take an 18 month old away from its parents and into foster care because they were traveling with weed in their car and the dad had a methadone prescription. And certainly so they can’t charge people with ‘felony chemical endangerment’ because they had weed in the trunk and the dad smelled like weed.
The weed part I will agree with. Methadone, not so much. Most people are put on it to get them off heroin, but it's also an opioid and said to be even more addictive than heroin.
It's also used for pain. Some of my wife's clients have never touched heroin.
This reads two ways. Those are gross tits, or gross, tits.
I know that. I didn't say it was used exclusively to wean people off heroin. It's still a dangerous drug. An old friend I went to HS with robbed a methadone clinic (for the drug, not money) years ago. Cops caught up to him and committed suicide in the car.
A couple months back one of her clients was robbed just outside of the clinic. He didn't get away as cops were there in no time.
Some of the clients have to dose right there, but after a while, they get weekly supply and even later monthly.
The fact that there are clinics to begin with baffles me. They very likely do more harm than good. Now we are to the point where states are offering safe places for people to shoot up, with doctors on site to administer life-saving measures if needed. WTF is going on in this country? We just cater to it now.
Really is becoming ass backwards. And fast. The people that put themselves in bad situations get rewarded, and the folks that work hard without bothering a soul, do not.
I was just referencing a specific recent case. In their home state, the couple would have been told to go on their way; no arrest, no ticket, nothing. In Alabama they get their child taken away and not even placed with family members living in the state. And they get hit with a felony charge.
I don’t always get commas right, but I made sure to that time
They’re going to do it anyway. The drain on the healthcare system is more costly when they have emergency room visits and get hepatitis and HIV from dirty needles. Cheaper to have clinics and supply clean needles.
First responders (police, fire, EMS) also spend a ton of time and money responding to overdose calls, which takes critical resources away from people when actual emergencies are occurring. There are plenty of people out there that have been revived with Narcan from overdosing multiple times. We just keep saving their lives and putting them back on the street to continue doing it, until they pass out at the wheel again and kill an innocent family.
One requirement for my wife's clients is ability show they're a productive member of society. It's a very strict process to keep average drug user from just scoring. There are some that use insurance to pay for visits (have to have a masters to treat them), and others who pay out of pocket for services (bachelors), both have to be state licensed.
They are trying to live a better quality of life. One of her patients is a 70+ year old man using for pain obviously.
It's far from a drug den of ppl shooting up. It's highly monitored. They can't even have hand lotion in their offices.

That’s a big reason why I’m in favor of legalizing a lot of drugs so they can be regulated and taxed. Most overdoses are accidental. They meant to do heroin, they didn’t mean to do THAT much heroin. Legalize it, standardize it, heavily regulate it, move money away from penalizing use and put it into education, rehab, medicine.
There isn’t strong evidence that legalizing drugs increases drug use appreciably, so I don’t think that will be an issue.
