Donald Trump

Demand drives the drug trade, and Americans have an insatiable appetite. Why is that?

Because drugs are fun

I work for the State of Utah in a department that deals with a lot of drug addicts, and their lives do not appear to be fun at all. It doesn't seem that the fun is worth it. Then again, I have never gotten any kind of fun buzz from pain pills or alcohol (perhaps because I have never used very much of either), so I don't see the appeal and have no idea what I'm talking about. Not that this will stop me.

You are catching most of them after they have gone way down the rabbit hole or have hit rock bottom. That is different.

Perhaps, but I've learned since working here that a large percentage of crime is committed because of drugs - either under the influence or because money is needed to buy them. And I still don't see the appeal.

The War on Drugs is a failure. It's time to try something new. Decriminalization is a start.

I think we should start by decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of all drugs. We should allow for the legal sale of pot, mushrooms, and mdma. Legalizing the manufacture and sale of those 3 would really put it to the cartels making it harder for them to do business and satisfy most people.

Opiates, meth, cocaine, and other junkie drugs are scary but again we don't want cartels to control the situation. I think we will learn enough lessons from a first round of legalization and decriminalization to help us better address even these drugs.
 
If you don't understand the appeal of drugs, then I feel bad for you that you never lived with an open-enough heart to try them without the heaps and heaps of shame. Just to try them. Not all of them, if you're afraid. I haven't tried heroin or crack. But I've tried some, and they expanded my views on humanity and nature. Not all in some hippy-pure-love way; there were some dark reflections, too, but those were worth it.

The appeal for many drugs is goddamn obvious.

I will just have to take your word for it. I prefer legal activity at this stage of my life. Okay, who are we kidding? At any stage of my life. Being a stick-in-the-mud has served me rather well. But I appreciate what you are saying.

did I say that anything I did was illegal? Do you know where these experiences transpired? And, regardless, why should someone else's law have such access to my or your private experience? That's scarier that drugs, braugh.

I didn't comment on your experiences, just my own.

Partying is fun. Drugs and alcohol are fun when partying. Partying too much (like daily) is not so fun. (Though when I was in my early 20's I was partying almost daily).

Basically if you can limit your partying (drugs and alcohol) somewhat and you don't get addicted to things easily (I don't) then it's fun as hell.

You feel me right CL?

P.S. I never did heroin, pcp, or ecstasy so I have no comment on that ish.
Done everything else though and never had any problems with addiction of any drugs or alcohol.

DT is a blowhard nothing. He thinks if he ran healthcare he could manage it more economically. TrumpCare, we'd call it, too. He doesn't even understand the concept of limited constitutional government. But hey, he's a fake populist who can get away with big talk with a feel-good air. He's the only man big enough to blow off criticisms of his wish to deport criminal illegals. Obama would say the same thing for two votes, if he needed them, and the Press would chime right in. I guess there's a lot of folks who would vote for any man big enough to have his own Strip resort with his name on the tower.

Opinions change, I guess...

I always joke that we should invade and add another 31 states. Well, half joke.

I'd gladly do a three-way trade.
Our northeastern states (but we keep our franchise player (NYC) to Canada.
Canada trades Alberta to Mexico for Baja.
Then Canada gives the U.S. Baja for the northeast (sans NYC).
