The number two drug was, you guessed it, Vicodin. What will happen if they ban both these drugs? Americans don't have health insurance and now they are required to be in pain because Big Pharma wants to make drug cocktails rather than just the opioids. The experts that are working on this problem don't live in the real world and you can bet they all have their stash if things go dry.

We need to grow up as a species. We need to realize that we don't need to have a society of "animals", and all we need to achieve that is to value science and education. Dump religion. Superstition feeds into instinctual impulses which are part of our animalistic origins, but we have the ability to override that with will, but only if we don't encourage the distraction of instinct via superstition. Dump money. It's based on a premise that resources are scarce, that we can't have things we want if we don't have something someone else wants. The premise of ownership of resources by a single person is unnatural and destructive and rooted in our ancestry, not in anything prescient to the current technological world we live in today. If we lose the incentives to abuse by removing the desire to acquire (born of the illusion of limited resources and compounded by placing value on a person as a person by what they "own") we would solve 90% of ALL of our problems in an instant. www [dot] thevenusproject [dot] com When profit drives action, humans are allowed to suffer and die by the millions, if not billions.

I don't overuse it and I don't sell it to kids and by the way other folks who use it and are willing to admit it are also good, responsible citizens. And also, pot gives me a headache. Nothing is perfect for all people all of the time.
