It’ll work only if they kill the corporate drug pushers too. Make it public so all the families of people killed by their pills can watch.
Far more people are dying on Rx drugs than all illegal drugs combined. Big pharma seems invisible to lawmakers as 18-wheelers full of addictive narcotics are sold in poor neighborhoods and paid for with our tax dollars.

This will be misused just like Civil Asset Forfeiture has been misued. C.A.F. Was orginally invented to help stop piracy on the high seas by taking away the stolen goods from pirates. Now it is being abused by government to take money from people on questionable charges. If we introduce capital punishment for “drug dealers” how many physicians and pharmacists will be targeted. What about a neighbor who gives some extra painkillers the hospital prescribed to him to a friend? Who, exactly, gets defined as a “drug dealer”. Will this become another slippery slope towards tyranny?
Perhaps a better solution is that drug dealers have to consume all the drugs they’re caught with, excluding prescription medications. If a drug is not dangerous, the person will live. If the drug is dangerous, like meth or crack, chances are the person will overdose.
Are the Pharma Companies and their pushers the doctors eligible for this too?
That could be the title of an indie film and/or PSA.
Correct.

None, I expect - there's no money in it.
It’s time to end the war on drugs and America’s young people.
The solution is a solution of a drug in a large enough volume of liquid so a person can not overdose accidently.
The color of the solution should vary based on the amount of drug in solution.
Yellow might be a strength where an opiate naïve person could not overdose drinking all they can swallow as fast as their stomach can take in liquid.
Orange might indicate a strength dangerous for an opiate naïve person.
Red would indicate a strength lethal for an opiate-naïve person.
As the color becomes darker, the strength would be greater.
You would have to get a blood opiate test from a hospital to buy anything other than a yellow solution. This hospital test would have to be furnished by the hospital along with your address and copy of government ID to your drug supplier in order for the drug supplier to legally supply you.
You might get up to 45 two-liter bottles of solution delivered to your residence a month.
An FDA tracking system would have to be used by drug suppliers.
I wouldn't be unhappy if medical professionals who irresponsibly prescribe medications that kill people because of addiction they cause get the same fate.
If they're prescribed responsibly, it won't be a problem. Responsible use and monitoring won't cause addiction.
Have a rocket docket for drug dealers.
“Warehousing prisoners for decades makes no sense to me.”
It does to cops. Cops don’t want to die in shootouts with lawbreakers lacking an incentive not to fight to the death.
Lex talionis. I like it.
It’s extremely difficult to get a prescription for chronic pain. It’s not ten years ago. I’ve had a degenerative disc from an epidural since I was 27 when I had my firstborn and my liver is going to go out from all the ibuprofen I have to take.
“He expanded his heroin prescription programme from a dozen people to more than 400.
“The first people to notice an effect were the local police. Inspector Michael Lofts studied 142 heroin and cocaine addicts in the area, and he found there was a 93 per cent drop in theft and burglary. ‘You could see them transform in front of your own eyes,’ Lofts told a newspaper, amazed. ‘They came in in outrageous condition, stealing daily to pay for illegal drugs; and became, most of them, very amiable, reasonable law-abiding people.’ He said elsewhere: ‘Since the clinics opened, the street heroin dealer has slowly but surely abandoned the streets of Warrington and Widnes.’”

Agreed.
I, at one time (to my shame & disgrace) worked 4 Big Pharma almost five years...
In Building # 1 they manufactured only liquids, especially liquid methadone.
I was just speechless when I discovered that the junkies had three flavor choices!
I would have made it taste like rotten horseshit if I were in charge!...
When the number of cops killed by dealers goes up ten-fold, guess which Constitutional Amendment the government will want to kill off.
Keep your cool and your guns.
Drug criminalization is a subsidy program for law enforcement and criminals - paid for by everybody else, in money and blood.
Agree 100%.....put ‘em down!
I live in a "middle class" condo complex in an upper middle class suburb.There was a guy living directly below me who was clearly dealing *something*.I went to the police station a number of times to complain.Each time I mentioned his name it was obvious that the cop recognized it (it's a pretty small town).
A couple of years later I read that the DEA arrested him in a nearby town....for heroin trafficking.I volunteer to testify at his trial but was told I wasn't needed (I think he plead guilty). He just finished 2 years at Club Fed. (I looked him up on bop.gov).
Don’t we wish! More fake news trying to get the snowflakes up in arms.
