i am for better tactics in the war/ maintenance function: healthcare, not prisons, for example
however, we can't even control oxycodone distribution and abuse, and that's a completely artificial substance for healthcare
and you really think the market for meth will be controlled if we regulate it and tax it?
nevermind that this is a substance that does grave medical harm to people. you want us to freely sell such a substance?
no
we treat people for addiction rather than throwing them in prison, yes
but we also still crack down on the supply and demand. we don't regulate and tax a highly addictive and medically harmful substance: more people will simply be addicted and damaged, and society is not going to subsidize and tolerate this tragedy
we're going to do our best to make sure you don't get meth. and if you still get it, we'll treat you
we're not going to make it easier to get meth. that simply means easier medical harm and addiction
you say it is already easy to get meth? so this means we should make it even more easy?
