opoids for deppression, worked great for me when i was on them before. its the drug war thats prohibiting everyone from getting proper treatment. some people can do opoid treatment and some can't, but either way it should be a desician that big brother stays out of. honestly please write your statesman about stopping this war on prescription drugs. its hurting us all.
id rather see 1 person treated properly and 3 junkies who want to use than 0 people treated propely and 1 junky. (the other 2 junkys are alcoholics instead)stopping illict drug use is a novel utopian idea kinda like communism and world peace. its not ever going to happen with drugs being illegal the black market is 2 strong. i grew up in downtown cleveland in the midst of a crack epidemic. (that is now worse even with this "new" stronger plice "crackdown") 49 homicides last year! all "drug related"...."drug related"? like high on crack killed someone you didnt like???
no "drug related" like "black market" related, a black market created by prohibition. the profits are so high and they get higher when police crackdown more. the profits are so high these days that we will always have a black market. and the higher the "crackdown" the more corrupted and violent the market becomes. i dont know how far towards legalization we need, i just dont know. but i do know that there is a middle road between what we have and legalization that we as the people NEED drasticly. a solution that is in agreement to the constatution that promotes liberty and puts a stop to gastapo like police. iv been a victim to gastapo like police, police that serch you because you look like a drug addict . police that take your prescription medicine and dont give it back until your docter calls the station (beacuse your a drug addict and forged the script???). a government that locks you up for being part of a black market they diretly are responsable for. a black market people with drug problems must use if they want to get high and will use because you will NEVER stop someone who belives they "need" to get high.anyway im srry for this rant but i just lost a friend a couple nights ago. he was an 18 year old man who would have been a damn good carpanter but he was murdered. the police called it "drug realated" and added it to the cleveland homicide statistics. He was murdered in a drive by shooting. the murderers were rival gangs competeing for which streets they were going to push drugs on. and now he is a statistic that the federal government will use to show everyone how bad drugs are and why they need to be illegal, even though his deathy is a direct result of the black market created by prohibition.
