I wonder how they got that sample. Phone calls, or survey outside a weed shop?
Have not fact checked, but seems in line with what I've read.
Is this a joke? It's probably not even fucking true first of all. And also, there are many more factors that play into drug issues in the states, one of which being its proximity to Mexico.
When you think about it, if a person leads to the path of drugs and gets prosecuted he can no longer get a decent job, which leads to crime. If it's decriminalized the person can get treated through rehab instead of being prosecuted. The person than can continue on to living a normal life and contributing to society. Instead of looking at these people as criminals they look at them as health/medical issue and how they should treat them instead of putting them in a cage and having to deal with it themselves. Portugal led this path.
Originally posted by Ulic Qel-Droma ill have to agree. .. kinda. sometimes i get a hardon over her, but then i'm like *no i shouldnt.. this is wrong, she's not up to my standards*. but i guess my dick has it's own set of rules.
The problem with that strategy is if people aren't ready to quit they aren't going to quit. That also perpetuates the problem of the system throwing good money after bad by spending money to try and rehabilitate those who won't accept it, rehab isn't cheap.
I think it's good in theory but cost out versus reward it just isn't there. In my experience the best way to help someone is by not helping them at all. If you turn your back on them give them no avenue to turn to either they'll come around or they won't but the choice is theirs and theirs only.

But in all seriousness, fuck junkies. I'm sick of society babying these plugs. Yeah your life sucks but so does every Dick and Harry and their mothers. Except most aren't dumb enough to do stuff that'd end em on the spot and need a revival every second hour every day.

It's the life they chose, yes a burden to our tax dollars but its something we have to live with. I'd rather tax dollars be spent taking care of our own, rather than other countries who should be fending for themselves.
Is anyone else starting to think this crisis was started by the guberment to kill off junkies and to solve the homeless problem? Kinda like CIA and crack-cocaine in the 80s?
Didn't we already establish that it was started by developers who wanted the prime lands junkies are roosting on?

Why not ship them off to a remote island and air bite them some basic supplies each month. Every six months have docs go check on them. Those that no longer addicted can come back. Those that aren't stay on the island. If they die then so be it.

It *is* keeping the paramedics busy and driving spending.

Might as well monetize it. Survivors or Hunger Games?
Instead of helping out people like in that video (a Canadian citizen with 3 children) were more concerned with hosting them refugees in the Davie sandman at $300/night
People like that in addiction were at one time decent people, addictions hit all sorts of people and while I used to be moreso on the end of let them all die, it's a really sad state of affairs we're currently in

This cost over a 100K for the few weeks it was up.
refugees may cost us some money at first but they will become productive members of society and pay taxes. Junkies on the other hand will just continue to drain resources.
