Multiple Victims in Nova Scotia Shooting

[revelations]

The legalization of MJ has no doubt, saved untold millions of $$$ in needless criminality offenses and police work. This is not rocket science.

As far as the framework for distribution - the government (again) managed to fuck it up, yes, in many provinces.

With the legalization of marijuana in Canada having gone so incredibly well and delivering on all its promises (on or ahead of schedule), I can really appreciate how the appetite to legalize more drugs is increasing.

Legalize is the wrong word. Decriminalized is what should be done with petty drug charges. We don't need the government selling heroin, but we also don't need to be wasting resources locking up some dealer who will be replaced by another guy no more than 5 minutes after the arrest.

So just turn a blind eye and hope the problem goes away?

That's the dismissive and simplistic kind of comment that only someone who works in law enforcement could make.

Today on beyond, I found out that you need to be a cop to think that simply ignoring substance use/abuse is not a solution to the problem of addictions

Just look at the Utopian city called Seattle as a perfect example of how turning a blind eye to the problem of addiction and how it affects entire communities.



Also, in the comment I quoted, he states "petty drug charges" but then mentions locking up drug dealers. Those are 2 vastly different things.

No, legalize it - tax it, regulate it, privatize it.

Educate users about drugs, setup facilities for users and treatment (paid by tax dollars) and for those who prefer to shoot up in back alleys.

Yes its unicorns and fairies ..... ie. not perfect, but far better than the waste of tax payer dollars thats been going on for decades and zombies walking around the major cities.

See the point of legalization really is the opposite of turning a blind eye it's acknowledging that substance use is a public health issue not a criminal or moral issue. Once we do that we can take the roughly $ 3 billion a year spent in Canada on the epic failure of the war on drugs and spend it on actually helping the societies most vulnerable people.

The trouble of course with the Seattle problem is it's half measures with out the health support, as well as the part where the whole country has unloaded their homeless and poverty problems on the west coast.

Thread about a killing spree in Nova Scotia quickly leads to a discussion of homelessness in Seattle.

Beyond - where not the same country and not the same coast come together.

You continue to reiterate that you don't actually understand that conversation and that's ok. On a related note, I think Vin Diesel would like to speak with you.
