RE: The Law Of Unintended Consequences: Trump's War On Opioids
When Trump took office I, like many other Americans, had great hopes that he would prove different than his predecessors. I, for one, am sadly disappointed
Add me to the list, but for different reasons; I expected legal war with the Deep State and The Left; draining the swamp.
I don't uses drogas, but the War on Drugs is an incredible violation of American rights and a stupendous waste of resources. So sad to see trump take this direction.

I don't use them because I enjoy it... without them, I'm bedridden and I am NOT going to spend the rest of my life unable to move! I expected more out of him for the reason you mentioned as well... this thing with N Korea showed his true colors to me. If the sanctions were relaxed and people could eat- you'd see a completely different world view there- maybe even a move toward democracy.
yup. I get that...but my point is that even if you were using for pleasure, it is not my business or anyone elses in the first place ;>
I'll dispute you about a detail on the norks...the norks are starving b'c of Fat Kim's distribution policy, not due to sanctions. Fat Kim is using hunger as a means of population control, as the Soviets did in the Holdomor
I'm certain you know more than I about NK... I don't watch news- basically it was an uneducated guess!
certainly a plausible one.
sanctions are usually a bad way to influence a State; the citizens suffer, not the rulers
so we usually use sanctions derpy derp!
I just look at sanctions as a prelude to war... they seem to accomplish nothing else!
