Oh, I know this, they speak Portuguese and eat linguica. Seriously though, they’re humans and have the same addiction problems as we do. Why is everything countered with American exceptionalism whenever topics like this arise? We’re never going to get better if we don’t change and get over ourselves.

APD lake patrol rescues 4 women in a boat hanging over the edge of Longhorn Dam a few days ago. Goes in the “goodly” column.

Let’s go for the trifecta. By intervening a homicide is potentially averted. At minimum they prevented a situation escalating. I think your expectation of omniscience and the ability to prevent crime before it occurs is a bit misguided. Their presence alone can be a deterrent, but I guess we don’t want them out looking for shit to stir up, so I guess they’re just supposed to wait to be called, and then get accused of being reactionary?

Hilarious that SFB chimes in with the real world experience of shatter. Guess that criminal sociology degree didn’t cover functioning members of society using substances.
I also suppose that CS degree didn’t cover Portugal’s successes or Switzerland’s wildly successful heroin administration program. https://www.tni.org/files/publicatio...04-killias.pdf For the ADD cops: Switzerland drastically reduced opioid overdoses and related crimes by offering heroin to users in supervised settings. Guess you can be a heroin user and a functioning member of society if you know the amount you’re getting. It s our shitty system with whatever random amount of fentanyl laced shit that our American users get that fucks them up so bad. But cops can’t see past the shit stained walls to think about the larger picture (nor can many politicians either).

Police behaving goodly
I don’t have any expectations or illusions about the police, for the most part they’re a constant source of disappointment when taken as a whole.
I think you illustrate my point though, cops aren’t preventing crime, l don’t expect them to. Intervention of a crime in progress isn’t really prevention and often leads to worse outcomes.

Shit would get real in a hurry if we treated Type 2 diabetics like heroin users and they had to buy insulin on the black market. They made their own bed with their shitty lifestyle choices, so fuck 'em, right? 40% of lung transplants are performed for end-stage emphysema in former smokers (at a collective costs of tens of millions of dollars which we all pay for through insurance premiums and Medicare), and a substantial portion of those people start smoking again after their transplant (https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/35/6/1411)! You can proper-fuck your life a thousand different ways and society will try help you even if you don't deserve it, but get addicted to a drug that isn't alcohol or nicoteine and you're an unsaveable degenerate.
The idea that the War on Drugs was ever about personal or public health is hilarious.
Dab/shatter are legal in all states where recreational weed is legal and they aren't killing people there. Haven't heard shit about spice in quite a while, and weed being illegal was the only reason it was ever popular at all. Heroin addiction would be a manageable medical condition if it were legal (see: Switzerland). Most opioid ODs these days are from fentanyl, anyway.
It's interesting that psychedelics didn't make your list either time you posted it.
Carl Hart? He was macro-dosing, not microdosing, and he's far from one-in-a-million (he uses meth and cocaine, too). At most, one-third of people who try heroin become addicted (https://www.livescience.com/62701-od...ependency.html) and that is probably biased high since many of those people were already addicted to prescription opioids. I've been prescribed shit tons of opioids in my life and don't even particularly like them. My wife hates them. I'd bet everything I own that if I had ready access to pharma-grade heroin I could use occasionally and not ruin my life.

Not being a drag on society isn’t good enough for you? They also have to “thrive”?

People say this all the time. The answer is complicated and personal and I think, despite how much I’ve done it here in the past, writing some giant highly personal rundown of all my life circumstances on this forum seems like one of those “fool me once, shame on you” kinda deals.
Suffice it to say, there are real, complicated reasons why picking up and moving is just trading one set of problems for another, at best. Trust me, a place like this at age 25 and I’d be driving away, right now, steering with my knees so I could use both middle fingers. Might even hit cruise and give the middle toe.

I don’t fully understand this either, and I live here. If you want to better appreciate BLM and associated points of view, it’s worth thinking about this right here. IAS is a nice, genuine guy who just doesn’t quite fold smoothly into whatever vision this community has set for itself, for whatever reason, even though on paper he fits into all sorts of good molds. It doesn’t help that he’s physically imposing.
It’s definitely a weird town, and if I didn’t have an ex wife who I shared custody of kids with who went to local schools I’d be looking for a way out.focus.

im not sure hilarious is the right word
dudes a solid mag i offered and still would mount his spats or work on his gear any different than another mag with another vocation
before we moved our neighbors was fbi and a great guy. we watched their dog when they were on vacation
bit discerning though that the 5 0 could think its different thc
ya can eat the gummies, smoke flower outta a miller high life can, vape it in a pax, dab live resins outta a high dollar device, shit ya can probs boof the pots enemas these days
but at no point does your thc consumption ever become sumthins other than thc consumption and these concentrates aint being made by the evil drug cartels smuggled here and packaged.
and yeah i like to be in command of our back yard spread

What, that it was a just a legal weed alternative, or that it was genuinely "popular" at all? I'll certainly concede the latter point. It's also a gross oversimplification to label all synthetic cannabinoids (of which there are hundreds) as "spice" and decry them equally. Many of the ones sold in headshops were indeed shitty chemicals that no one should ingest (and many "spice" blends also contained other undisclosed psychoactive chemicals and plants), but there are others that are at least as safe as THC and are reported to have great highs.

No one ever gnawed on a strangers face while naked while high on weed
I have no idea what spice is. But that shit makes Florida people go cannibal
Maybe it’s the CBD cannibalanoids in the spice?

Are you confusing spice with bath salts?

He seems to be. Further, the role of "bath salts" in the Miami Cannibal Attack and some other violent incidents is speculative and was not confirmed by toxicology results. Regardless, they're another drug whose only reason for existence was to skirt drug laws.

Credit where credit is due:
I watched a man standing outside a party surrounded by NYPD last night, the man was shouting at them, “They’re doing illegal drugs in there!” An officer replied, “You’re just mad you got kicked out of the party, go home.”
