It is completely simple and nothing else is compatible with individual rights and liberty.
So maybe what people need (to avoid government interference) is simply a list of all drugs and their primary, secondary, and side-effects listed with a percentage of the people (and population size to present a good picture) affected by that effect. If you've got a background in pharmacology, I'm sure that you could classify and categorize similar drugs so that the site could suggest drugs for specific sets of symptoms or diagnoses based on the various risks of those effects and their severity. If you're truly entrepreneurial, maybe you could then tie that in to spot prices at local pharmacies for those drugs. I think the ones we have to be especially careful of (besides the obvious poisons) are the mind-altering drugs, however. Any drug which has a significant potential to affect reasoning should throw up huge red flags to the user. Another red flag should go up for any potentially addictive drug. And if both those flags go up, people should require a doctor's signature to obtain those drugs where the _doctor_ then becomes partially liable (legally) for the behavior of that individual while partaking of that substance.
researching their choices responsibly. . if they did,
we would be a hell of a lot better off !!! -- j

Until people are willing to accept responsibility for their actions, the notion of decriminalizing drugs is not only a pipe dream, its a disaster waiting to happen and why I can't support it.
been substantially worsened by drugs which are
common on the black market (they say). -- j

Week in and week out the illegal drug trade is responsible for many more deaths on a regular basis.
70's had DDT until Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring turned her into a greater mass murderer than Lyndon Johnson.
Cell phones, internet and personal computers were the main difference followed by UPS and Fedex - Amazon.com and world wide dropship marketing.
the national debt was 300 billion not 18 trillion.
It was also when the baby killers were protesting returning veterans instead of offing the little tykes themselves using late term abortion.
The antiwar crowd ALMOST got rid of the draft then for whatever reason quit.
Hamburgers were still 25 cents.
A new car was two thousand dollars or less.
One could buy a house on a fair size lot for under $20,000
Not much difference from today really. Just same old same old dressed in different clothes.
We had Nixon now we have Obama.
Of course my perspective starts in the 50's.
No cell phones.
No personal computers.
Lots lower population (less crowding, less traffic, maybe less stress)
No chemtrails.
No GMO foods.
No cable TV.
No internet.
70s had DDT.
70s had climate change (global cooling then ;^)
Coca Cola had sugar in it, not corn syrup.
Too many variables and not enough scientific method testing. ;^)
Give everyone free pot and munchies.
At $300 an ounce it's hardly free and we haven't added federal tax yet?
Same for twinkies and dingdongs. they all got elected to congress. That costs A LOT!
But
Making pot legal would drop the price to compete with liquor imo, not free but very affordable.
Munchies will probably skyrocket in production to respond to demand, and price settle about where it is now after the period of adjustment.
All taxes on them should be local, none federal.
Make the feds work to earn anything they need to spend. Provide a service that I want to buy, dammit, otherwise shut up and go away.
The point is nothing is free.Unless of course Obama issues an annual unearned income check to match the money in the current version. The one the taxpayers pay for while the moochers get a free ride. The concept is not limited to chevvies and beefsteak nor free housing. Nor is it a question of lower or higher pricing. Economics is economics. TANSTAAFToke. Someone, somewhere had to pony up the funds for someone else. For what is immaterial.
Not free. Just reasonable. And it will replace the demand for a lot of pharma drugs.
It will knock crime down by at least 50%, and those 'crazy' shooters at schools will just be mellow people flipping burgers unless its against company policy and they test for pot.
At present all drugs are illegal unless the government approves them as over the counter or for prescription use only.
As I recall in California the price for getting a physical and a prescription was $100 with same day service.
A home grow permit probably wouldn't cost that much more and would of course invite government inspection which means be careful how you word the initiative. Other than that two choices. IF we have a working constitution other than that your SOL. If we don't send Obama a campaign or retirement donation and ask for an executive order. Then the rest of us are SOL.
Roof came into its possession???
Is the writer saying that Roof had some drugs or that some drugs had Roof?
Does anyone competent teach these hacks to write or to read what is written before they publish it?
I've seen it in action when working with a national
organization. . makes folks get puffed up and stupid
in their writing. -- j
