All the overweight obesit people around here total more deaths than drugs and alcohol together. What is being done to prevent that?
I do not support the low life pill heads but it is the truth.
I also agree.It costs 100,000$ per year to house 1 prisoner who was busted for a few joints. do the math.
I agree with you 100%
Jean – everyone knows that the sale of alcohol will never decrease the amount of illegal drugs sold, to suggest so is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. Also, alcohol is the cause of 10’s of thousands of deaths each year in this country thus dwarfing that amount by all other drugs combined. Legalizing all drugs would save the US billions every year, let innocent people walk free (because in my book if you’re not hurting anyone, its not a crime), generate billions in taxes and most importantly give the people back a basic human right: the right to ingest any substance into their god-given body. Please open your mind instead of following society’s creed and maybe you’ll feel like you’re actually critically thinking instead of just following.
I am glad that law enforcement is putting pressure on these low level dealers. They need to get to the main suppliers and mules that bring it in from other places. I am sure they will succeed. But for every arrest they make, one more new street dealer pops up. Or the next generation of family dealers takes over. I just wonder how the new alcohol laws will effect the prescription drug trade. Maybe in a few years the Commonwealth will engage in a study to see if there has been a decline in the usage and sale of drugs in the area after alcohol is allowed to be sold at the local stores in Corbin. Williamsburg is following suit as far as the law allowing drinks in the local restaurants, and probably in a few years allow it to be sold in the stores. Progress?
