Of course, your use of brain-addled is as presumptious as the rest of the OP, or purely for kicks me referring to your wife as a slut. You don’t know if I do drugs (I don’t) and I have no idea just how much of your local community your wife entertains, but hey - why let judgement be suspended till we know what we’re talking about.
So let’s try again. Your claim that all responsibility for drug deaths and the drug industry are down to users is inherently stupid. Why then should you let off the politicians who created the whole WOD fiasco, and try to blame people who are really just trying to get high, as people have tried to do through the ages? You look at a worldwide industry, generating trillions, ruthlessly exploited by governments and criminals, and you somehow manage to decide that this is created by the end user?
Let me give you one recent example of how governments control this industry. Afghanistan is the worlds leading producer of Opium. With the recent change in governement, the US and Europe had an ideal opportunity to bring this supply to an end, for as little as a $200 grant per farmer - a tiny sum compared to the estimated $40 billion spent in the war there. Instead, nothing was done, in fact any action to curtail Opium production was actively opposed. Here’s a fairly short summary for you
So once again, please try to explain why you dismiss the most obvious argument for reducing the criminal nature of the drug side - legalize it, and kill off the black market and violence that surround it.
Ah sod it, who am I kidding. You like to attribute blame for complex issues on a nice easy target, just so you can claim some vacuous moral superiority to others. The fact that your smug bullshit does nothing to solve problems, and thus perpetuates them, is of no interest to you - why try to make things better, when the current mess lets opinionated little runts like you feel good about themselves for no reason.
