Do you think heroin should be legal to purchase just like weed? It’s a simple question. No need to obfuscate so much.

I already answered you, Troll.

I’m bored with your trolling. You didn’t get your “Aha!” so you’ve moved the goalposts; just like your earlier dishonesty in claiming you asked, when you did not.

Answer my questions.

Do you support the banning of Q-tips to prevent people from injuring themselves?

If not; Where do you draw the line on government interference into your personal choices?

Are you really so addled as to believe that making heroin (your choice of drug, not mine) legal will really create thousands of new heroin addicts?
Addicts are created by the pharmaceutical companies. I have a daughter who makes her living treating opioid addicts. 100% of her clients come to her with medical addictions, 0% street drugs.

Hell no, I do not support legalization of heroin for recreational use, nor do I support the outlawing of a naturally occurring plant. People are responsible for their choices. If we want smoking pot to be illegal, outlaw smoking pot... Outlawing the plant is just stupid.
It’s the exact same kind of stupid that asserts that outlawing guns prevents killings.

I support non-interference by the government in areas not specifically given to them in the U.S. constitution.

Let me explain some things to you that you’ve never been able to figure out for yourself:

Fentanyl, 50 times stronger than natural heroin is completely legal. It also accounts for a major portion of the overdoses attributed to heroin, as it is often mixed in to street drugs to increase their potency, this also renders the standard treatment for heroin overdose ineffective.
Fentanyl is legal because it provides profits to the US pharmaceutical industry, which uses that money to buy off politicians who then pass laws to their benefit.

In ALL CASES the legalization of pot within the states has come with a licensure scheme. Why? Because it makes money for politicians and their donors.

Can you imagine the damage unregulated marijuana and opium growing would cause to the CIA’s profitability? How would they be able to support their Afghanistan growing operations, and gun-running to the Mexican cartels? Legalize pot? Man, are you mad?

Your liberty is being controlled by politicians, to the exclusive benefit of politicians and the donor class. You fear pot growing in someones back yard because they told you to, not because it’s dangerous.

What they fear is individual liberty and personal responsibility.
