I have no problem with legal weed; I have always supported it. I am opposed to legalizing highly addictive drugs like fentanyl, meth, heroin, etc. I was working the road during the Oxy years, and a lot of the kids who got hooked did so because it was a prescription drug, and thus, they thought it couldn't hurt you like sticking a dirty needle in your arm. Kids thought it was a party drug. So many of them were lost forever, despite their parent's best efforts to help them. Many of them later turned to heroin when beans (street slang for Oxy) got too pricy, and if they're still alive, now smoke blues (fentanyl pills) off of foil. I'm afraid that when we legalize or even decriminalize these drugs, people see it as the government and society giving their stamp of approval. Also, the vast, vast majority of street-level crimes, car prowls, vehicle thefts, robbery, burglary, theft, mail theft, even ID theft, and organized retail theft are committed by people in support of their drug habits. The economic cost of the opioid crisis in Washington State alone has been $9.19B, according to government statistics. There has to be a better way than just throwing up our hands. As I mentioned, I hope this CA program succeeds and serves as a model for other states.
So, this is a race between a guy who volunteered for the military, choosing to honorably serve his country, and a well-past-her-prime skank who should be institutionalized in a straight jacket. She is completely insane, and has such a winning personality!
