>>1166885>promote the use of drugsThis is exactly what the war on drugs accomplishes.
Drugs being expensive creates and incentive for the poor, problem users and addicts, spreading addiction because they need customers to sell to in order to pay for their own habits. When i was a teen there were dealers that hung around our walk home because they were desperate to get a few kids hooked so they could middle them drugs in order to pay for their own. Even if drugs weren't legalized, but methadone and other replacement drugs were more available, the incentive to do this would be far less because they could treat their withdrawals without needing thousands of dollars a month to do so. Doctors have no incentive to give these pills because there is such a stigma amongst doctors and they can make money doing normal stuff.. the only doctors that will treat addicts are usually sleazeballs that have some other blemish on their records and they always ask for cash only and charge 400 dollars a visit.
KRATOM IS ALREADY LEGAL AND WE DO NOT SEE SIGNIFICANT NEW CASES OF ADDICTION BECAUSE OF IT. At the very least things like methadone which don't get addicts high but just relieve their withdrawals need to be more available.
It's not ethical to tell people what they can put into their own bodies and to intervene in the markets that sell medications. The prescription business is a monopoly and a racket and that's another huge reason drugs are illegal because doctors don't want to lose the power of prescription. Don't you think that you should be able to prep for emergencies? If you really want to be prepared in case there is some kind of disaster or emergency shouldn't you want to stockpile medications like antibiotics and morphine which would save lives in case shtf?
