Rhonda, yeah, apparently not that many people said no. Just like Prohibition (War on Alcohol!) brought us a new class of “criminals”, from homegrown moonshiners to organized crime, the War on Drugs brings us what we have today. Regulation of alcohol did away with the black market and all the accompanying underground smuggling, murder, and organized crime in order to supply a demanding public, and regulation of drugs will do the same thing right now.

My Mom died a few years back and I was so angry with the doctor. Mom was in so much pain and dying and the doctor wouldn’t prescribe the medications she needed for pain management because he didn’t want to make her an addict. Dying people can’t get drugs and everyone else can. The world is totally nuts. We were able to get her a pain management doctor, but I swore if I had to go out and find a dealer, I would.

@Rhonda: Rhonda, I’m so sorry you and your mom had to go through that. I think that doctor has a masochistic streak about 5 miles wide. I’m sure he loves his job. I would do the same as you would.

@Rhonda: I had a high school junior tell me tonight at supper that he thought half the kids in his class smoked weed. Boys and girls. I’m not sure what should be done, but having that many people classified as criminals seems far out. BAM might be getting to me. Also I think anything should be done that can be done to help the dying with their pain. Anything.

@Rhonda: It sounds shocking, for sure, even to me. I watched that video of the guy in the cowboy hat here on Jossip, and the statistics he cites are truly mind blowing. He’s spent a lot of time working at keeping drugs out of the country and enforcing our drug laws and he has zero political agenda. That makes him a lot more credible to me.

I hope my mom was the exception rather than the rule. Hate to think of dying people not getting meds to ease their pain. Thats the least that can be done for them.
I’m with Bam also, making criminals out of everyone who has smoked pot is insane.
I have friends in California who grow their own, for medicinal purposes of course.
I don’t know if the pot usage bring that violent element with it or not. I’ve smoked weed before and just got sleepy.

@Rhonda: Actually the pot industry in the US was mellow and non-violent until it got to be illegal. That’s when the cartels got in the picture. It’s easier now to buy coke, crack, or meth than it is some good homegrown. That’s pretty messed up.

I watched that video and agree that guy doesn’t seem to have any agenda.
I can see both sides of the issues.
alcohol has caused so much grief, do we add fuel to the fire and then like that guy said its only making drug cartels more violent. so who knows, I don’t.
What do drug cartels do when you legalize their product?
For better or worse I think the government is going to legalize some drugs so they can TAX it. 🙂

Don’t worry, I read the way you meant it. He was a mean, awful doctor.
You think drugs should be legal? Probably be easier and cheaper than dealing with doctors.
There really are enough people dying on the streets from alcohol, I’m not sure we need to add high and whacked to that mix.
Otherwise if people would just stay home, noone would really care unless they beat their kids or something.
