Today the gov gave his state of the state address. In it, he talked about legislation he supported to get cold meds off of shelves.
OK -- meth is bad.
Cold medicine is off the shelves.
How does that help when Mexican meth is half as expensive as locally made?
Good god.Has the aging generation of free love and pot forgotten?
Demand drives sales -- not supply.
Emerging medical theory on meth use is that it's like anything else -- self medication for anxiety and depression.
It doesn't help when the gov joins other politicians around the country and acts like this is a supply issue.
What happens if reducing the supply actually works? We actually stop 60%, no say 70, no say 85% of the meth supply?
Will that stop the use? Or will tweakers steal even more stuff to pay for the higher cost of a less available commodity. (Someone out there must know a Republican to explain supply and demand.)
Prohibition didn't work in the 30's. It didn't work for pot in the 70's. It won't work now. Ever.
Let's focus on the reasons people are taking drugs and alcohol.
rant concluded, thanks for your time.
