How did we solve the crack epidemic of the 80s?

@TinyViolins we switched over to meth and heroin

@cherokeepatti If we're just replacing one drug for another, maybe legalizing pot would go a long way towards slashing the rates of overdose deaths

@TinyViolins they will eventually legalize it to tax it but it also has problems. The Chinese are running some of the grow centers here in Oklahoma and sponsoring Chinese for work entry permits and then abusing them and treating them like slaves. In one case they were forced to stay at their job 24 hours 7 days a week and ended up escaping after they got fed up and went to the police. In another case they weren’t being paid by the employer and they went and filed charges. Only 2 cases that I know of but I would bet that there are many more here.
