So after a day we get some flags and stars, no comments. Mike has gotten a lot of that. What do you say when some family has lost their kid over a
fentanyl overdose? He knows it.
Well if I was governor, I would relax the medical oversight when it comes to drugs of dependence. If good, clean drugs are getting through that aids
ones quality of life, great. If crap drugs are on the street that will seriously mess you up, bad.
I have family on heroin. When they start too young it is a mess. I can see where the government is coming from in trying to crack down on it. As they
get older it does help take those aging pains away and can continue to function if the dose is right. I am not surprised by the amount of doctors on
opiates with the trauma they go through and more easy access to these medications.
Once someone has this hook in them, it ain't coming out unless that individual wants it out. You can lock them up for as long as you want, on that
first day of freedom they will be back if they have not made that decision to stop. I get how a lot of police have to work in the gray zone on this
one. Turn a blind eye to a bit of smack, crack, ice, hash, whatever when there are more serious issues going on.
As for what this enterprise has become, deep in the black budget.
If covid has taught us anything, it is not a politicians place to get involved in broad spectrum medical issues. Each individual has their own issues
and is more the place for each case on its own merits. Taking a more Sweden approach to drug policy looks like one way out of this mess.
Prohibition on alcohol eventually fell. If we can find a world where we are not losing as many before their time, that is a good thing. The black
market is heavily invested and profitable with the status quo, they don't want to give that up.
But if we can hit this black market where it hurts them and get more professional advice, options and quality of drugs, it looks like one angle to
provide a better quality of life for all.
