I was a narcotics investigator, I agree the war on drugs is not working. But legalising meth, fentanyl and heroin is not going to help either. I don’t know what the solution is. Regulated or not meth is a terrible, destructive drugHow would regulated methamphetamine be worse than unregulated?
Regulating them along with providing more treatment centers might mitigate the harm.I was a narcotics investigator, I agree the war on drugs is not working.

Unless something like meth becomes readily available, regulation isn't going to amount to a hill of beans. Here they are cracking down on the distribution of legal controlled substances containing opioids because of all the harm they cause, and folks think stuff that's ten times worse should be as available as beer and cigarettes.Have you ever seen anyone in the throes of dt?
How would regulated methamphetamine be worse than unregulated?
Anyone who knew what is contained in meth would never suggest that it be made legal and available. It's simply poison:Unless something like meth becomes readily available, regulation isn't going to amount to beans.

I'd be interested in hearing how you think the mechanics of that would work.Regulating them along with providing more treatment centers might mitigate the harm.
You keep misrepresenting the arguments being used to a nonsensical degree. To what end I have no idea, as it's plainly obvious and simply detracts from any points you try to make.Unless something like meth becomes readily available, regulation isn't going to amount to beans.

People have to want to go to treatment, Most people hooked on meth are not interested in going to rehab. They’re just interested in getting more meth.Regulating them along with providing more treatment centers might mitigate the harm.

Or a high school.Only to those connected to the drug underground.
Yes, it is different and more dangerous. No one knows what they're getting or at what dosages/purity.That's different than having it available at Walgreens.
Are they? Do more people in the US die from alcohol than from illegal opioids?That sure doesn't explain why people are dying far more from " legal controlled substances" like alcohol.

I would have thought the death rate for opiods would be a lot higher. But checking some figures and running the maths, there's not much in it. 75 deaths per 100,000 users for opiods and 62 for alcohol.88,000 versus 44,800 for alcohol deaths versus opioid deaths. So yes, alcohol is killing more people.

Excessive drinking can kill you more than some drugs like opioids or fentanyl. Learn about alcohol addiction and what treatment options Caron offers.www.caron.org
Do you know even one person who uses meth? Yes there is a shortage of rehab facilities. Making drugs even more available is going to exacerbate that problem. I’ve long felt that drugs should be decriminalised but there are unforeseen consequences that could make the problem even worseDo you know most people?
You should know that there are far more people wanting treatment than beds available, particularly without insurance.
My original assertion in a nutshell was a lot of people who vote democrat want hard drugs to become an ordinary commodity. Which you're confirming. So there's no reason for me to argue with you.Meth is readily available.
