By the way, if you read the document just so you know, T Boone Pickens is indeed Jewish. In a few days I'll post some documents showing how Yakuza linked figures potentially* own a 20% share in Boston Dynamics.
Execute drug importers and consider it an act of war ofn behalf of the source countries. Life in jail for individuals caught with more than 3 individual doses on them. That would probably be effective.
No safety net requires a competent and educated population. It doesn't work when you have a weaponized culture (media) that intentionally tries to influence people into acting against their best interests. The sheep are easily brainwashed and are at peak levels of retardation right now and even though they're retarded sheep, they are still our sheep. You should consider the possibility that the qualities you're describing only exist as a small portion of the population. The vast majority of people are essentially sheep by defacto. It's genetically ingrained in them. Not everybody has the capacity to be smart and think for themselves. This is why we need safety nets. That doesn't mean we throw free money at people either. I'm just saying we need systems that protect the sheep. Historically speaking, the sheep were to be protected because they are a resource. They are human capitol. That's why we're supposed to protect the sheep as best as possible. They are a valuable resource.
In Canada the black market for pot is still thriving. Literally 1/3 the price and double or triple the quality. They'll also deliver and front you some if you're broke unlike the dispensary. You can also see what you're getting before you buy and return it if you're unhappy. The legal market can't compete.
It's no different than black market cigarettes that are produced on the native reserves here. Legal tobacco has not had a negative effect on the black market tobacco trade. People will always seek the cheapest of any product, and due the taxes and regulations people will always find these products cheapest on the black market.
The only thing legalizing pot has accomplished here in Canada is a reduction in price. Black market pot is a lot cheaper now. It simply made pot cheaper and more accessible to everybody. It didn't eliminate the black market at all. It just made the illegal producers have to cut their prices. There's still massive profits to be had though. If the government makes it too cheap then there won't be a legal market for it because it won't be profitable. If the government drives the price down too much it will collapse their own business model. The only thing the black market producers have to do is undercut legal prices by a small margin. Basically what I'm saying is that if it's profitable for the government to grow and sell than it will also be profitable for black market producers to grow it too.
I understand the underlying reasoning, but I don't agree with it. I don't think it effectively destigmatizes anything. Opiate addiction has been at endemic levels for decades now. It's a common thing. People have been exposed to it for long enough. Addiction will always be perceived as a form of weakness no matter what, and so you can only destigmatize it to a certain extent.
If anything decriminalization will result in ease of access to the general public. You'll simply have more fentanyl in circulation with basically no risk premium attached to procuring it. It will be cheaper and more potent and more abundant. More people will use it because more people will have easier access to it. It'll also be cheaper due to the reduced risk premium so drug users will be able to consume more of the substance due to the lower cost barrier. More people will use fentanyl and therefore more people will die from fentanyl. There's a direct correlation between the amount of people using fentanyl and the amount of people dying from fentanyl.
Even if decriminalization did benefit existing fentanyl users, that benefit would be drastically outweighed by the harm caused to non pre-existing fentanyl users.
That's why we have lawyers and due process. The reason why they're decriminalizing it is because they say they want to save lives. They claim that regulated access to illicit substances will make them safer. They claim cocaine will become more pure as it'll contain no impurities or unsafe additives, etc... What happens when we apply this logic to the fentanyl though? Increased potency? So more deaths?
I don't understand how they can claim that access to cleaner and more potent drugs is "safer" though. How will access to more potent forms of fentanyl reduce the amount of people overdosing from fentanyl? Keeping in mind that the entire motivation behind decriminalization was the vast surge in fentanyl related deaths. Basically their solution to people dying from fentanyl is to give them access to more potent forms of it.
Not to mention how the cost of fentanyl will decrease along with the risk premium associated with transporting and selling it. All they've done is create the conditions to give users access to cheaper and more potent fentanyl.
Their solution to people dying from fentanyl is to give them more fentanyl that is more powerful lol.
Look how ridiculous their obviously flawed logic is.
" We can make drug use a social or health issue, not a criminal one. We can also limit the harmful effects of drug use by increasing access to a regulated supply of currently illegal drugs, which would help limit the toxic drugs in circulation and prevent overdoses."
The vast majority of overdoses are resulting from fentanyl use. How would a "regulated" supply of cleaner, more pure and more potent fentanyl reduce overdoses? It will have the adverse effect. More people will die, not less.

It says it won't lead to an increased use... which is essentially the same as decreased use.
