So let me get this straight - all drugs, of any kind, would be legal to manufacture and sell? Would there be liability for the manufacturer/retailers if people died?

Depending on how they were advertised, if it's called for, sure.

If you overdose on sleeping pills right now, can you successfully sue the pill company? I don't see how it would be any different if street drugs were as legal as all the shit people can buy over the counter or with an easily gained prescription.

Those kind of pills all go through FDA testing to ensure they are safe if used correctly. Are you saying that heroin, fentanyl, LSD, Ecstasy, and all the various designer drugs that currently pop up almost weekly would have to go through FDA testing to ensure they're safe if used correctly.

If they were to be sold at retail, probably.

Or they could be considered like alcohol, which is another dangerous, addictive substance that I can walk into just about any grocery store in America and buy with zero hassle.

All you're saying is that the FDA exists to protect these companies from lawsuits if people die taking their products. And that's true. If you want real safety regulations, let the companies do their own testing and be responsible for the results.

With drugs like heroin people often overdose or die when their drugs are cut with other things or when the purity varies with no real way to verify the potency.

At least with some legitimacy and oversight these risks can be generally removed but heroin is still heroin.

I thought Wonder Woman was great but I don't think I have a physiological or psychological need for it.

I mean, would you try heroin if it were legal? I sure as hell wouldn't. I wouldn't try meth either. I could get either of those right now if I wanted, but I have no real desire to branch out from weed and alcohol, with the occasional dabble with cocaine and molly. I'd probably try mushrooms too, although I have had opportunities in the past to do so and opted not to.

The fact is, if people want to get addicted to something, they will regardless of legality. Hell, most can go to their doctor and get prescribed a dangerous, addictive substance if they want to.

That wasn't my point. There are some illegal drugs that are inherently dangerous. There is no "safe" dose. My point was if testing is required, or if there is legal liability, then the costs of the "legal" drugs are going to be substantially higher. Some drugs may not be sold at all due to the risk. Crack, heroin, LSD, ecstasy, bath salts, meth, etc..

So, you will still see a thriving blackmarket and related crime.

It would be much more accessible. Lots of people would try it. The barrier to entry to heroin seems necessary. Yea I would have tried it when I was younger. I don't know where to find heroin and I live in the filth.

Getting prescribed meds isn't as easy as you'd think. There is a total of 1 doctor in San Diego taking new patients that prescribe Adderall. If Adderall was sold in stores, good luck. I have civilians hit me up all the time for it.

I thought this thread couldn't get worse, but now we have to explain why saying "Chinaman" isn't allowed? Open racism against asians is one of the most disappointing and shameful aspects of the modern west. From TV shows to comedians to joe six-pack at the bar. Whites will only make black jokes behind closed doors, but it is still open season in public on asians. And before anyone starts with "Asians are racist against foreigners in Asia"...that's whataboutism, it has nothing to do with Americans of Asian descent, and America is supposed to be about a free and harmonious muticultural society.

This thread serves no real purpose anymore.

censorship is the tool of the oppressive but you seemed to intentionally ignore the10 post previous to yours talking about music

Id much rather se someone calling someone a chinaman than see some blowhard try to censor them.

Chinaman (female variant: Chinawoman[citation needed]) is a potentially contentious English language term that denotes a Chinese man or person, or as a Chinese national, or, in some cases, an indiscriminate term for a person native to geographical East Asia or of perceived East Asian race. Although the term has no negative connotations in older dictionaries,[1][2] and the usage of such parallel compound terms as Englishman, Frenchman and Irishman[3] remain unobjectionable,[4] the term Chinaman is noted as offensive by modern dictionaries and is no longer the preferred nomenclature. Its derogatory connotations evolved from its use in pejorative contexts regarding the Chinese and other Asians. While usage of the term Chinaman is nowadays strongly discouraged by Asian American organizations,[5][6][7][8] the term has been used by English speakers of Chinese descent and others, without offensive intent,[5][8] and has also been used as a self-referential archetype by authors and artists of Asian descent.[9]


context is still important

Getting prescribed meds incredibly easy. Just because it's difficult to get addy doesn't mean you cant get something incredibly similar.

I got codeine in college whenever I went to the campus doctor. Heck, I can walk into a urgentcare and get high dose painmeds with little issue.

I am more familiar with Adderall than I wish I was. You can't get anything truly comparable. Vyvanse is bullshit and it's the closest there is. Addy just is not easy to get. I wouldn't know a single person that I could hit up for some but I know a couple handfuls of people I could sell to

I'm the exact opposite :celb (13):

Sadly, I just always know where I can get pain meds and who I can get them from. Luckily, I've got a decent amount of people here in Arizona who've really pushed me to stop taking them. Different thread.
