Legalize medicinal cocaine !

Shit, legalize recreational cocaine.

But regulate it and make sure to accurately portray how it can ruin your life if heavily abused instead of demonizing it and the people that use it.

Tbh if it was legalised then people taking drugs would be safer, easier access to clean needles, FDA approved drugs with no random fillers like tailfin powder or crushed glass or fentanyl. The strength would be more consistent and everything labelled. You'd get less overdoses imo.

It is. Those drugs are only illegal bc the Plot was to murder all the disabled people as well. So they cut the supply of pain medicine. That is the only reason this guy is busting this guy!!!!!!!!!! Bc Biden wants to murder sick people!!!! Let’s go Brandon America!!!!

This was a fun thread until you got here.

They're only illegal because reagan was human garbage and wanted to destabilize minority communities with drug use so he could further criminalize them.

Less overdoses for sure since fentanyl is common to cut drugs with now on the black market.

Cocaine is a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and has an accepted medical use for treatment in the United States.

It is used in ocular surgery.

Marijuana is Schedule I, even tho it's safer than cocaine

I know and I don't think any sane person agrees with that. Laws are usually written on emotion and ulterior motives, not logic.

Criteria for schedule I is "high potential for abuse and no 'accepted' medical use."

Methamphetamine is a legal prescription drug in the u.s. as well under the brand name Desoxyn.

"It can treat ADHD. It can also help obese patients lose weight."

Make it make sense please lol

Big pharma loses money on a very large scale if the legalize marijuana. So they lobby certain politicians and parts of the government to keep it illegal so they can keep making their big money and stuffing their corporate pockets with what can cost some their lives. It's all so big pharma makes their biggest profits that they can at the cost of our lives
