I doubt the Mexican traffickers want their customer base dying off. There is no profit at killing them off with one hit. I know my response sounded cold and callous. Should we mourn much over people who are choosing to act illegally and thus risking their lives?

“Legalizing it would create a new set of problems.

Would you want to own a store selling heroin, and have to worry about addicts breaking into the store at night to get their fix.”

How would that be different from owning a liquor store?

“I like the sound of it, but it doesn’t seem that good for repeat business. “

“Is the world worse off with fewer people who would actually inject themselves with heroin?”

1. Doing drugs shouldn’t give you an automatic death sentence
2. but looks like many Mexican drugs dealers got their MBAs online

Oh, I sure did.

It amazes me that Jim Rob tolerates these liberals on his site.

Libertarians waive the US flag and proudly support the WOT, but waive the white flag on the WOD.

They are pro-life, but also pro-porn.

Many are flat out moral deadbeats.

They would be DEAD before they could pull the needle out of their arm.

Read the article again. You missed the "some" part.

Answer the question. Oh, but you can't.

LOL!

Because I don't know the precise number of employers who are addicts, that means you win?

OK. Whatever. Do your happy dance. You've entirely missed the point.

Actually, if I understand the logic, once word of these deaths gets around on the street, it serves as a very powerful advertisement for this particular brand heroin. Users figure (1) I can cut it myself and save, or (2) my system can tolerate the higher dose, and I'll get higher for less. Anyway, I've heard of this happening before for that reason.

heroin addiction is seems to be spreading quickly, it is only one step from oxy to heroin. I hear that some people are switching back and forth, smoking the junk, and that it has been causing a very bad pneumonia that can kill.

It’s better than law enforcement because an instant death sentence might make a whole lot more kids think twice...

Well done indeed.

Agreed. I always thought that heroin was one of the worst soul-killing drugs.

But in this case, it sounds like this is a self-eliminating problem.

If heroin users are killing themselves off, I'd say that's more of a problem for the Sanitation Department, than the Police Department.

Two things.

1. So? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I don't do drugs because I like having my brain function as it should. If you do the recreational pharmacology thing, expect no sympathy from the likes of me if you roast your frontal cortex into oblivion.

2. This wouldn't be going on if we decriminalized drugs. Yes, people would undoubtedly do stupid stuff and end up dead and bloated in a pool of their own vomit. But it wouldn't be because some illegal drug dealer hit them with a "hot shot". Just like we no longer have to worry about wood alcohol being used to make a jar of whiskey go further.

Now watch the Drug Warriors and other various Nanny Stater's use this to champion more of the failed policies that got us where we are today...

“Libertarians waive the US flag and proudly support the WOT, but waive the white flag on the WOD.”

You forgot the WOP, or War on Poverty. Just because someone calls it war should we support it?
