What do you see as a rationale for making legalization dependent upon changing the payer paradigm?
It isn't the immediate direct cost I'm concerned with, although en masse, I'm sure it is considerable. It is the long term, "soft" costs that concern me. The "soft" costs, like murder, rape, robbery, etc etc etc.
Although, karen, you're a smart lady. I'm sure you know I'm not just talking about immediate costs. Somehow, it seems to me you want to discuss the matter, but don't want to do any leg work or mouth work to talk to the professionals I mentioned.
Don't listen to me. Listen to them. They have been on the battleground and have seen thousands of problems, and stories.
Drugs will have the same effects on people, whether or not they are legal or illegal. I know you will agree on that.
If drugs become legal, there will no doubt, be more of them, more readily available.
Just about anyone with the will, I guess, can make meth, or crystal meth, or LSD type drugs. Drug dealers aren't bringing those in currently, as far as I know.
Will those items become legal too? |
