Where's your source on his early death,  or his causing the deaths of others?   Wouldn't a conservative say that people are responsible for their own choices? 

Illegal drugs means supplies more likely to be laced with dangerous additives,  which increases risks of OD.   Heroin,  for example, on the black market, is now increasingly laced with fentanyl,  which has caused more OD.   It can be argued that his approach,  based on his expertise in neuroscience and pleasure seeking behaviors,  could reduce deaths and help addicts take more control of their habits.

KC,

I hope you don't take this as a discourtesy, and none is intended....but what was your basis for assuming the professor would die early or would cause the deaths of others?  I've waited three days for a reply, hoping you had some kind of case to make, some evidence for your assertions.  What about my point made in the second part of my previous post -- could decriminalization help addicts and lead to reduced death?

No offense, but you seem to have a habit of saying something provocative and highly judgmental, then mysteriously vanish when asked to account in some way for your opinion or its basis.

This approach would seem to run contrary to the purpose of a message board devoted to issues of law and politics.

Metformin 750mg has had an extension of its recall from one manufacturer. If you can't find it, let me know.

Say NO to drugs...weed is now legal...crazy idea.
Drugs ruin brains, bodies, personalities, *everyone* knows it.
Drugs also make your teeth go black and fall out.
Drugs turn pretty girls into not so pretty girls with distorted, sore-riddled faces.
Drugs turn handsome men into not so handsome men with distorted, sore-riddled faces.
Toothless people with distorted, sore-riddled faces, ruined brains and bodies, mental illness problems and no personality will find it difficult to gain employment, housing and love.

Tell that to the people for whom pot is making daily life possible.

"Crazy."

Medical marijuana is different.

What's gained by locking up pot smokers or giving them criminal records?

Medical marijuana is different.

Nothing.

Should be prosecuted for driving pot/drug-impaired though, same as with alcohol.

If people are going to use drugs, then they need to stick to pot, and wine, and to wake up there is coffee.

The hard drugs are all bad, the heroin, and cocaine, and fentanyl, and oxycontin, meth, etc, are all bad. Our enemies are getting our people addicted to heroin, and then they control them.

My hometown was ruined by meth. Now the people are all screwed up, with bad teeth. And they built a prison right in the middle of my hometown and they filled the prison full of people who were stupid enough to get involved with drugs.

I would rather have a movie studio, and a new university and medical school, instead of a prison, and would rather have the people be doctors and scientists instead of drug addicts and convicts.

Here in Anaheim our enemies are giving heroin to our people. Our people just need to say NO, and we need to warn the parents and grandparents, and groups such a Kiwanis can help. We need to save our people from the horrors of drug addiction.

Yes, Bambu, just say NO to drugs. But if you are going to do something, stick to wine, weed, and coffee.

Salute,

Tony V.

25 years ago in Santa Ana, California, they had several successful programs to get the youth away from drugs, and away from crime, and they got involved with the gangs like with Homeboy Industries. They got the Youth into Boxing, and they opened gyms where the Youth could train. And they taught the Youth how to start and run honest businesses and how to be successful entrepreneurs, etc.

I was taken to a 99 Cent store in Santa Ana that was owned by a gang named "F Troop" and the gang owned and operated the store. The guys all have nick-names instead of real names, and the manager was named "Sniper." Sniper, and his gang F Troop, were running a successful 99 Cent store in Santa Ana with help from the Priests and others. Santa Ana has proven that the Youth will embrace an honest job if given the opportunity and attention and training and help.

Instead of dealing illegal drugs, or instead of committing other crimes, our Youth can be given help and training and they can succeed in America, and groups like Homeboy Industries and others can help.

Salute,

Tony V.
