I Was Shamed by My Doctor for Being Black

116. I agree. Standard dosage, uncontaminated drugs would likely decrease the OD

rate. We allow ppl to drink themselves to death, so why get all up in arms over other drugs? And it's very true that the acetominophen toxicity is the big problem!

The main thrust should be to regulate drugs to make them standard and safe, sell them at rates that compare to alcohol, and cut out all the middlemen who are making money off the trade (DEA, drug cartels, private prison corps., street dealers, mafias, local PDs, etc.). We should also put moderate "sin" taxes on them, as we do the recently legalized marijuana. Then we just let nature take its course. Nature was taking its course anyway; the least we can do is limit the damage to the actual users. And frankly, users will be in LESS danger if it's legal, IMO, and we will have eliminated God knows how much criminal activity and its attendant ills from society.
