If we were truly free, you could buy lollipops made of whatever drug you like.

Supposed to be used to treat cancer patients. But if you read the linked article, the company that made it sent sales reps to doctors' offices and illegally convinced doctors to prescribe it for much less serious conditions like headaches. It's literally drug dealing. Except if you are a drug dealer while being a rich corporate executive, you don't go to jail. Your company pays a fine and you keep stock options and year-end bonus.

Mhmm. Mhmm. Very sad. And which doctors' offices, specifically?

What normal folk hasn't sold a tiny bit of crack? But now, pharmaceutical companies and doctors are acting like.. drug dealers??? Unbelievable...

Anyhow, my solution is to LOCK THEM UP. Thank you.

You realize that the fentanyl in the opioid crisis is all illegally produced in China, right?

Revenge for the Opium Wars, I get it. America deserves this.

Of course not, these were almost all BLACK people we're talking about, the media coverage was completely different. The main points were A)GANGS OF NEGRO CRIMINALS HIGH ON CRACK WILL ROB YOU, RANDOM WHITE PERSON.

B) CRACK-ADDLED WOMEN ARE GIVING BIRTH TO CRACK BABIES WHICH WILL GROW INTO CRACK MONSTERS, DEVOID OF HUMANITY.

C)GHETTO WOMEN ARE TURNING INTO CRACK WHORES AND WILL SPREAD AIDS THAT WILL KILL YOU.

And D)THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN THEORY(look it up, I'm serious)

Any sort of careful, balanced coverage of crack cocaine's affects on inner-city life was few and far between, and there were nearly no sympathetic stories of addicts like you see with the opioid epidemic.

It's because of the accompanying violence. There's been a slight uptick in homicide in the past few years, but that's mostly been driven by spikes in cities like Baltimore.

You're also apparently ignorant of how black people have historically felt about drugs in their communities. (Hint: they don't like it.)

She's way more right than wrong, but I chuckled at some of the idealism.

It's important to temper idealism with realism, which can be hard to do with imperfect information behind the Great Firewall.

I don't think every drug would be able to be active orally like this unfortunately.

I'm no chemist though.

Probably right, but it's the principle.

The law should never attempt to shackle the mind. The pursuit of happiness includes mind-altering substances. Prohibition is un-American, imo.

Good news, guys. After 30 years of advocacy, concerned citizens have finally gotten the FDA to admit MDMA is a "breakthrough therapy" for conditions like PTSD. It could be approved for prescription as soon as 2021. The system works!
