Zactly....
The war on drugs, of course, was a result of prohibition's repeal. FDR's administration felt it would be overly cruel to send those valuable federal employees out in a private sector suffering massive unemployment at the time, so a new opportunity was created. And with it, state soverignity was ursurped.
Have you noticed that you can read two week old articles on FR now and can peruse the entire site daily postings in an hour or so.
There was a time you couldn’t begin to read everything on FR, I wonder why that is so now?

The 2016 purge!
Most of the conservatives never came back, but the clowns filled the vacuum.
Yup, a few rich liberals can smoke dope and make a ton of money, but the 90+% that have to work for someone else are borderline unemployable.
They don't want to arrest the dealer silly, the Pharmacist is competition.
Pot is not addictive.
I agree. I have little time for these habitual control freaks who want to control everything Americans do. Just like the deranged Democrat control freaks. If someone is in pain, give them what they need for cripes sake.
Well your wife is clearly a dangerous criminal.☺
Are ya sure ya wouldn't want to leave it up to all these Democrat like control freaks to decide how much pain your wife should endure?
No I suspect you are choosing to believe without evidence. It has been proven with extensive evidence the government has lied about gun related deaths. It has been proven with extensive evidence the government has lied about alcohol related deaths. It has been proven the government has lied about crimes commited by illegal immigrants. This pattern of lies, deception, cooking numbers, bogus numbers and just ouright making shit up is so rampant any reasonable person would be immediately suspect of goverment reporting of opioid deaths. This is why I asked. Where are you getting these numbers? What is the source of this data? If the source is traced to government then its simply not credible.
A nurse told me about an individual that ate too much edibles and would pass out and then wake up and think they were dead. Is that Psychotic? Lots of pot users have paranoid episodes. Is that Psychotic? I am not that much of a skeptic but I do not that it is completely harmless like many addicts are.
do you understand the difference between an anecdote passed along by an uneducated layman and research with defined terms and confirmed results? Apparently you don’t; but you make gross generalizations and pose as someone who knows what they re talking about.
Pot does not cause psychosis and it is not addictive.
So do people on opioids. By the way I was on hydrocodone for years. I don’t like the way I felt. Now I take prescription strength ibuprofen. I’m more alert and residual pain level is lower.
“Opioids were involved in 42,249 overdose deaths in 2016 (66.4% of all drug overdose deaths).The numbers have gone up since then too”
So what. I am that guy. So what. Because one person poops his pants the whole world should wear diapers? Who cares. If people choose to destroy their meaningless lives the rest are to be denied adequate pain management or must suffer awful pain? If they choose to destroy their lives, let them.
There is an oral addiction that even cigarette smokers have.

Search is your friend. But I suspect you will find things wrong with Webmed also. Are you high?
“Never heard of death by marijuana overdose”
Already documented in Colorado, several now.”
Wow. Several. Several people died choking on food today. People die walking into traffic texting. No one is immortal and no one lives forever. It is impossible to mitigate the risks and choices of living.
“Now that I have chronic pain I understand. No one cares.”
The VA called and told me there is a nationwide shortage of morphine so they are cutting me off.
The VA prescribed me opioids years ago. After a few days I stopped it myself. Felt like crap and I told them to never prescribe that crap for me again. I will deal with the pain and have for almost 20 years.
I take prescription strength naproxen when needed myself.
“Already documented in Colorado, several now.”
Fake news. You can’t trust the media just because they’re saying something you want to believe.
Vaping instead of smoking greatly reduces, perhaps even eliminates, dangers of the toxic and carcinogenic compounds that are released through combustion. In the case of vaping, temperatures used are kept below the level needed for combustion.
