[@electrolytics]

Not useful in any stretch? Really? So using law enforcement to intercept large quantities of smuggled drugs isn't useful? Arresting dealers who are caught dealing dangerous drugs that are poisoning cities isn't useful? And how about treatment for drug addicts, how is that working out? 10% success rate? You don't actually know anything about law enforcement or the ways in which drugs affect a society, you're just repeating what a bunch of progressive liberals, drug users and convicts have been spouting out.

[@DCxSkateboarding]

@@electrolytics Yes, this is not useful. Cracking down on non-violent crimes does nothing but hurt communities. Especially when cracking down hasn't fixed any f****** problems. The best option is to let the people that want to use them use them in a safe manner. The only people that can make the decision for someone to stop drugs is the individual themselves. Better than not die from it and get it safely.

Drug taxes could be used for Drug education & options to health care for any issues related to emotional problems that some might find relief from in drugs. Regulation must keep monopolies out. Reventing ting a massive monopoly, just as Adolf Coors or the Budwiser dynasty have done with beer. All adults should be able to procure any drug the so desire in pharmaceutically measured doses that are 100% pure with no adulterants, the highest quality available in a high variety of types. If adult chemists wanted to make a drug for persons use they should have legal access to ALL the precursors, glassware and ish to make their own drugs(Grow Cannabis-Mushrooms-Opium-Ephedra-Coca-

So we are made to believe that the drug problem really wasn't major until the 1970s. But I've seen films on this channel all the way back to the 1950s. So you're telling me that this is something that has been going on for almost a century? Maybe it's not the drugs that's the problem maybe it's the people that don't understand why people use drugs that's the problem. Maybe it's the way they are viewed that's the problem. And maybe it's the way we treat people who use drugs that's the problem.

[@t8r507]

What a variety people had access to back then. You had to have a drug thesaurus to remember them all. Now there's barely 4 or 5 different varieties and they are making it hard for people who legitimately need pain management to even have access to these remaining varieties. Oh, they'll write you scripts for xyzal or linisopral, or geogoogue, or one of the 10 new varieties they cook up and have a commercial for every year like clockwork. They'll hand you that like candy and not give 2 hoots in hell but you ask for a decent pain med and watch a doctor go straight through the goddamn roof! But when their loved ones sprain an ankle or stubs a toe oh it's top tier schedule 2 all the way for them.

[@_RobBanks]

They are taught to not typically prescribe any medication a patient acts for outright and directly , say by name. but I know what you're saying and where you are coming from. I've never heard of any one of those three drugs, xyzal, liniosopral, and geogoogue. Are they anti-depressants? Those drugs are extremely strong and potentially dangerous. But the worst part is that the patient doesn't discover this until its too late, and trying to come off or down. Also, was the variety an actual variety in different classes? Or was it a variety of the same class, like opiates for example. From codeine all the way up to Carfentanil. Tramadol > Demerol > Codeine > Hydrocodone > Oxycodone > Hydromorphone > Oxymorphone > Fentanyl > Carfentanil (and my personal favorite) Truckfentanyl.

[@user-sh2mk8ew4c]

My grandfather told me about him and the guys he worked with taking Benzedrine in the late 1940’s. What he described is the same as what crystal meth does today. I mean what’s the difference in staying up 3 to 4 days on Benzedrine vs. 2022 Crystal Meth?

[@teethgrinder83]

@@samusvikerness661 to be fair fentanyl has been approved for use in the medical field since 1968, not long after this film was made so it's not so much that the drug is new, it's more that smugglers didn't really see the point in adding fentanyl to heroin until relatively recently. As for meth, that's pretty much what they're talking about in this movie, the biggest difference is the lack of legislation now means instead of proper dosage and safely made pills being diverted and then abused like in this movie meth now is made illegally for easier and faster route of administration (smoking and injection) compared to pills, in the end it's not far off the same chemical structure though I think-a bit like how crack and cocaine are the same except crack is made for smoking making it hit much harder and faster. I guess it goes to show how making drugs outright illegal instead of controlling them just makes drugs far far more dangerous

[@teethgrinder83]

The sleeping pills they are talking about in this movie (barbiturates) were FAR more dangerous than the sleeping pills you get now (benzodiazepines) though. Overdose of barbiturates is much easier which is why they have been pretty much replaced all over the world in the medical field (meaning also illegally diverted pills) by benzos and "z-drugs" like zopiclone

I found out there's a feeling like that to the sleeping pills i was using to actually sleep while going through a bout of insomnia and i got frustrated when i was having a rough time getting to sleep on the usual 1 pill so i took like 10, didn't sleep but instead had a rougher version of what smoking indica is like. If i want the feeling it gave, and a better version of it at that, I'll just smoke pot like usual. The "uppers", on the other hand, i was prescribed adderal once upon a time and it was absolutely awful. I quit taking them pretty quick. No similarity to sativas, which tend to make me horny. Lmao. All in all, pills are overrated. Pot has been proved to have medicinal benefits on top of the drug benefits, including being an anti-carcinogen. And on top of that, one who doesn't want to have the effects of THC can find CBD pot with the medicinal benefits intact. So just smoke pot tbh.

Drugs affect everyone differently. In fact, some people are much more prone to addiction than others. I have been prescribed amphetamines for almost two decades. They have been extremely beneficial for me and basically changed my life for the better. It's unfortunate that the small minority who abuse useful medication have made it extremely difficult for those of us who would benefit from these substances to receive help for the conditions that these drugs were designed for. The same goes for painkillers such as opiates. At 57 years old, I've done physical labor since I was 13 years old. I have numerous aches and pains, some of which I have learned to work around and others that hinder my abilities daily. I've been prescribed opiates in the past and they were very helpful. Nowadays, however, the actions of people who never bothered to learn self control have taken away my ability to live and work comfortably. I've lived my entire life the right way, as I was taught, yet I cannot get the comfort, at 57 years old, that I feel I deserve. There's a point when a person who has difficulty refraining from misuse and abuse to get some sort of medical help but if that person does not accept the help they should suffer consequences. Unfortunately in today's society, those who truly need the benefits of these drugs are the one who suffer the consequences of the actions of others. Laws and restrictions of any kind should not be created and used against those who benefit from anything just because someone, somewhere doesn't follow the rules. This is true with EVERY law or restriction. We have a God given right to our pursuit of happiness. No government has the right to deny us of anything that we determine to be beneficial to our own well being.

I agree with you on THC. But all medicine affects people differently. When I took a sleeping 1 was enough. Never took more. Never needed more. But I got off them.

@MACABRE L.A. Perhaps if you went with a strong Indica strain, such as Afghani or Northern Lights, you would not experience such overwhelming paranoia. That paranoid feeling is usually associated with Sativa strains. The Indica vs Sativa thing is something that can make a world of difference for people who believe that cannabis isn't right for them. And since Indica strains tend to work on the body, and Sativa's work on the mind, your digestive issues would also most benefit from Indica strains as well. I personally wont go near any Sativa strain.
