So I had a thought while I was in the shower (where I often do my best thinking)
Much of the argument is that drug users are "scum" "welfare dirtbags" or some such or that using drugs is some sort of moral failing or they are simply weak people.
Are people who drink scum? Do they have a moral failing? More people die from alcohol use than any illegal drug. (and alcohol is a drug of course) Alcohol is by far one of the most addictive drugs used in the US and it is the only one that you can die from the withdrawals. How about smokers? Are they scum? Tobacco killis a magnitude more people than all illegal drugs combined. What makes them different? Well, a law. Someone wrote on paper that these were OK but the others were not.
Opium, Heroin, Cocaine, and even pot for that matter all used to not only be legal but sold in countless goods and concoctions. Were the people who used them then scum? Or did they only become scum when a group of guys got together and wrote it on some paper that it was wrong to use them?
Much of the attitude towards drug users is due to the fact that they are defacto criminals by the act of consuming a drug.
Most people, somewhere around 97%, can use a drug and not become addicted. The 3% that become addicts (which includes alcoholics who have the same predisposition due to brain chemistry) will likely be addicts no matter what the law says.
My argument is not for a "drug utopia" Its for taking the money out of the drug trade and ending the drug war. I dont want drugs in my town anymore than the next guy but I would much rather have safe, regulated drugs bought at a corner store than stuff that is killing people run by cartels and gangs that users had to steal to pay for.
Drugs are not going away, No "war" will make a dent in the supply as long as there is money to be made. Much better to take the money out of it, regulate and control it.
I may have a weird view on this due to my two jobs. I'm a full time LEO and I work at a bar part time. At the bar, I see many of the same people come in and enjoy some beverages and go home. As an LEO, I see drug addicts on the brink of death and/or covered in sores and abscesses. I couldn't tell you whether drugs are more addictive than booze, but I see far more functioning people who drink than those who use synthetic drugs. I do agree that organic substances may not be real addictive though.
Sure, call me an a@@hole. Jaded. Whatever you like. The fact is bad behavior becomes a problem when people can't leave me or my property alone. That...is a natural law. You vs me. So my truck, house, property, neighborhoods property, all come before any feelings whatsoever regarding why or how a person became an addict. Don't care.

Fentanyl and heroin are both opiates. both should be wiped out with narcan. they mix with crack or coke or crank to get a speedball.The whole Fentanyl thing is going to lead to increase pressure on EMS services as always. My son is a paramedic and with this Chinese Fentanyl that is coming it, the crack heads are mixing up these speed balls. Fentanyl and heroin is the choice right now. Try and get that ultimate high right between the barbituate downer heroin and the upper Fentanyl.
He says that when they do these and then they f up the dosage, they never know what way the crack head went to far with. Too much Fentanyl or too much horse?? So he does a best guess and tries Versed (sp ??) to counter act the Fentanyl. That wipes out the Fentanyl and then the crack head goes into heroin overdose. So he hits them with Narcan and that puts them back on the Fentanyl overdose. In order to manage it they have to hit them with paralytics, intubate them and head for the hospital and let them figure it out.
Fish and game...I'm telling ya. If we also tag the known crackheads then your son can just skip the people struggling in the gene pool.The whole Fentanyl thing is going to lead to increase pressure on EMS services as always.

your brain is probably fine, retaining mostly valuable information ... I just watch too much discovery channel. My brain is full of useless facts and movie lines, leaving little room for useful info.Yeah, that is what is was. We were well into some Pendelton when we were talking about it and his 30 year old brain works at lot better than my 59 year old one.
Never saw much of that back in my EMT days and had about zero training on overdoses.
As a father I can't go there with you.
