      That’s what happens when a corrupt FDA allows the corrupt big pharma companies to pump our whole nation full of ‘non addictive’ opioids that have destroyed tens of millions of lives and continue to kill hundreds of thousands of people every year.

      I’m against the ‘war on drugs’ but this isn’t a policy of the war on drugs…this is blatant corruption from the institution we’re supposed to trust most, and pushed by the most corrupt organizations in our nation, that bring in tens of billions in profits while avoiding the slap on the wrist fines.

        Agreed.

        Without a thriving black market for drugs fentanyl wouldn’t be anywhere as big of an issue as it is. So I think it’s both.

        Obviously not. I’m pointing out that the war on drugs is an objective failure. Prohibition never works and only makes drugs more dangerous.

        It’s been nearly 50 years and drugs are still around, more potent than ever, more dangerous than ever. We are no closer to getting rid of them now than when the war started, all while pissing away our tax dollars into the wind.

        Prohibition didn’t work on alcohol, why would it work with the rest?
