Bandit2398 It is factual information that opioids were regulated by most of the pre industrialized and comparitively modern countries for that long.
There are many legends about famous poets and the uber classes flaunting their ability to use throughout their entire life, but the average citizen didn't even know those things existed. Opium dens existed along most asiatic routes for half a thousand years and they were legal in the wealthiest countrys, Turkey for example, a long time.
Which goes a long way in explaining why Turkey went from being the richest Country on the planet to one of the third world countries rapidly.
When Turkey realized it's mistake they cracked down hard on all drugs. Even hashish. Interestingly they knew better than to take the addicts off the street but sentenced smugglers and sellers to life without parole.
Still do, matter of fact. In Saudi it's the chop. Don't tell me I don't have my facts in order, youngster.
Coca cola, before it came in bottles was a closely guarded trade secret energy restorative prescription you only obtained from a pharmacist.
Just as codiene cough syrup when I was a small boy, something that you could obtain from a professional pharmacist.
The laws were that only licensed pharmacists could peddle it and you had to sign a request for it in his book. They were given the authority to prescribe back then.
They are no longer permitted to prescribe drug concoctions that are scheduled.
Though it's been said widely that when mass production of coca cola, pepsi cola, etc began it still contained trace amounts though I was never able to verify that rumor.
Neither was I able to verify that camel smokes were loaded up with opium. Another unlikely rumor.
There are criminal statutes and there are civil ordinances. A criminal statute is a crime. A civil ordinance is a social demerit. It means nothing to someone that doesn't care if he is denied a city service or can't buy a fishing license because a fine didn't get paid.
Decriminality is legality. Polyester suited sharks call this legal speak. Do not tell me that decriming a criminal act isn't legalizing. You should be aware of the fact that even though traffic laws have state statutes on the books, there are no arrests made for moving violations. The state allows it's cities and counties to enforce and regulate but there is no prison time for any number of traffic "phopahs" even though, yes, these are actually criminal offenses. Of such low grade that the maximum penalty is revoking the driving privilege. As someone who knows that about half the drivers in large cities don't hold driver's licenses (another fact you aren't aware of) they don't care and apparently there isn't enough jails to house them all. (Thank the democrats for never bothering to consider what happens when you don't enforce a law.)
Oh but they won't decriminalize driving without a license. Because they can't impose nosebleed fines on those of us who usuall abide by the laws as much as we can, then get caught when we are in a hurry.
Claiming that someone who is an opioid addict is not mentally destabilized and represents a danger to himself and society sounds to me like it would only be from someone already damaged in some way.
After all. It is factually illegal right now to be buying, holding, or selling those things if you are not a physician. It isn't a difficult law to abide by. Nobody NEEDS street drugs. And those who claim they do should go about it the legal way if they actually do NEED them. But thats too much to ask of someone isn't it. Obey the law. Don't pollute your brain so bad that you can't think clearly. And make all kinds of stupid claims about it being "good for society" and "a neccesity for the addict."
That legalizing and decriminalizing is semantic horse manure, and people dying, society destroying dangerous drugs are no big thing. Because look how well Hunter Biden, the full blown crack head, and other ones making 6 figures (along with every other wealthy familys loser rotten crooked kids) do.
And you say that I'm spreading "disinformation" because the drugs you worship are your own god.
Yeah ryightttte. So dumb. I sure hope that there aren't too many like you. The decent families in this country are gonna want to send you and your addict buddies to the chamber once they see what a horror, if unleashed, it would become.
