So it would be manufactured by bristol myers squibb or pfizer and would be kept where the cigarettes are in the store that would collect the state and federal "FUN" excise taxes out of it......
But then where would all of those unemployed DEA agents go off to work at??the FUN division over at the IRS.
Whenever someone tells YOU that your not allowed to do something?..that is like I said not going to endanger anyone but yourself??.there is another extra added thrill of doing something taboo?..or maybe illegal??SHIT IT?S THE COPS!!!! FUCK!!!!
You see it on the first ?real? reality show????????.Fox?s COPS??.just how many people do the crazy shit they do??its fucking life??.but its all about making shit legal that weeds out the seedy and or shady elements of an industry.

for sure if you legalize all drugs it will get rid of most dealers almost immediately because, like you say, big companies will step in and make the drugs and they will be more controlled and "safer", if that is possible, because the meth you buy will be made in a lab, not in some guy's barn on a hotplate.
There will be little use for drug dealers because you can go to local store and buy it. Still, for me, meth is so freaking dangerous that I think legalizing it would be playing with fire. With weed the only person you can really hurt is yourself (unless you drive while high). It is cheap, you smoke some, eat a few twinkies and go to sleep. With meth you are up for four straight days and wired out of your skull and as soon as the immediate high wears off you want more.
I know a woman that was married, had two kids and a job and was a good person. Someone I thought was a trustworthy person and someone I thought was a good parent and wife. She went to a weekend get away with some friends. One of her friends brought a friend with her who had some weed. this woman had smoked some grass before so she was game. The trouble was it had some meth in it. Still she got high as hell and loved it. The next day she decided to try just straight meth. Her friend's friend did it and seemed fine so she figured there was no real harm in it. 6 months later she had lost 50lbs (and she was only about 130 to start with) and looked like a zombie. She lost a couple of teeth, lost her job, got divorced, but before the divorce she drained every cent out of their savings account and was ordered by the court to stay away from her ex and her kids. She ended up getting caught trying to pass bad checks and was convicted of a few counts of identity theft. She only did the full drug twice that weekend and said that every minute after that weekend she craved it and had to have more. It is ugly shit. Maybe if legalized it would be less addictive and less powerful, but it is just one of those things that you can't do socially. If you try it once or twice the odds are you will be hooked and it is downhill fast from there. To me meth can harm a lot more people than just the person using it. Forget that person's family. The meth head almost always ends up turning to crime to get money. If we stopped wasting time trying to get our hands on pot dealers and people selling coke or ecstasy and stuff like that they could focus on the meth and maybe get a handle on it.
I live in a part of the country that has a real meth problem. I have two friends that work construction and both of them often haul materials to job sites. Both get stopped 2-3 times a month by the cops who want to find out about the load they are carrying and make sure that it is legit. The reason they do this is because the tweakers will go to job sites and steal anything that is metal then sell it to the recycle plants to get dope money. It is an epidemic around her construction companies have to hire night security just to keep the tweakers out of their job sites. |
