Re: Another bombshell
"With Crystal Meth labs they had to have massive amounts of OTC drugs to cut and manufacture, those were taken off the OTC and made limited in quantity all was Right with the liberals.
Then The Cartels step forward, Meth is ever increasing in availability EVERYWHERE. "
So how is the war on drugs going, Cooter ?
If " Meth is ever increasing in availability EVERYWHERE.", Where exactly does the buck stop, now, on that count, Cooter ?
Do you think that having a good working relationship with the Nations from where they, the Cartels, operate from to fight the war on drugs might be a good idea ?
Oh, wait,

Not using, I agree, but selling meth should be a jailable offence

For how long? It's difficult to see what is so wrong with selling something to an adult that they want to buy that the seller should go to prison for a long time. As long as that thing being sold doesn't result in mass casualties.

Re: Another bombshell
But it does end in destroyed lives. There are quite a few people around here who are cot cases because of it.

Re: Another bombshell
It is poison and even I don't consider heroin poison. Manufactured bath tub drugs are the worst as in bath salts as well or sniffing gasoline or glue. You gotta have some boundaries in society, it can't be a free for all that isn't freedom or liberty.

You have a point but I still wouldn't give long prison sentences to those who sell it. They do not force people to use it. People need to know how dangerous and destructive it is so that the market for it will not be a thriving one.
And it should be legal so that illegal dealers can't poison people with contaminants.

Not hardly. And I've actually changed my view a little on that point. It isn't all that difficult to see how selling something dangerous is wrong even when people want to buy it. But I still place a lot of the responsibility for its misuse on those who want it and buy it.
That's true even when the thing doesn't result in mass casualties. All it has to do is harm one person.
The problem is that lots of things which are legal to sell can result in great harm to people just like meth. And we don't send those sellers to prison. If we want equality under the law we can't single out the meth dealers as long as their product isn't contaminated and doesn't simply poison people.

Re: Another bombshell
We do and we can and the product is poison as so is sniffing gas and glue. Why do some people get the impression that if I want to I can, it doesn't work that way, although there is always a group who wants it but ones wants are not others and no you cannot "have it all."
