ahh understood. My apologies @riverman. it read to me like you were saying if we remove the sources it would lower the costs.
I don't necessarily agree with legalizing all drugs, but do agree we need better resources to help addicts kick the habit and then preventative measures to better educate the youth to avoid them turning to drugs for answers to their problems. Some of this is on the parents and some of it is providing parents with these tools to optimally arm them, to deal with the issues and find other solutions with their kids.

getting kids involved in sports and music at an early age has proven to be largely successful in this. I was very saddened to hear my old high school no longer has a music program and had dropped a few sports programs. The continual decrease in funding these programs like debate clubs, fully funded sports programs and music programs, i think, directly correlates to the youth getting involved in the wrong things after school.

I do believe these programs must be instilled first, prior to removing the source of drugs or it would be putting the cart before the horse and would likely backfire, much like the legalization of possession of small amounts of drugs somewhat backfired on Portland recently.

I think we are generally on the same page. :cheers:

I don't think anybody is suggesting legalizing all drugs. They would still be restricted to prescriptions by medical professionals.

But you make sure everyone has the access to medical professionals for the treatment they need for any drug dependency issues that may arise.

Removing the source of illegal drugs simply isn't an option. It's not possible.
 
Sounds like tonight at the state of the union speech Biden is going to announce a temporary seaport in Gaza for humanitarian aid ran by the US military

I like it
 
When media keep saying Biden is old what they really mean is he's boring. And he is. How many best sellers have been written about Biden? He is the person who every day goes to work and gets the job done whether a bus driver or president, then goes home. He hasn't been found liable for rape or massive business fraud. He isn't facing 91 indictments. He doesn't say outrageous things, boast of his greatness, insult others or demand groveling loyalty. He's boring.
You know that Chinese curse, may you live in interesting times?
I want government to be boring.
This is the choice. A boring functionary or an unpredictable mob boss.
Vote boring isn't much of a campaign slogan but I don't want to live in fear of what the president might do next.
 
Most medical personal I've talked to on either side believe Biden will be on some type of medication to help him try to stay clear and focused. Many people with varying types of ailments take these types of prescriptions for just such public or media events. Michael J Fox used to do something similar for temporary effect when he would still make media appearances for a time but obviously struggled with his Parkinson's. It's not even that uncommon. There are certain medications that can 'prop one up' for a bit from a cognitive, but they are temporary.

Yeah, we all thought he'd fumble when debating Bernie in the debate years ago and he came out alert and energetic. He was definitely on some enhancing drugs then.

How many people in the medical field did you talk to about this?

Biden's age was evident, but he was sharp and clear most of the time, other than a few slips, which seemed to be due to his stutter rather than memory impairment. There were a few times when he was interrupted by hecklers or republican members of the house and senate, but he handled those moments well.

It was a strong performance. He must have been on meds right?
 
Joe was blunt and to the point....I'm sure he was caffeinated ..y'know, that drug that makes you alert and more focused! He said it all and won every stare down with the GOP side of the aisle. Common sense beats nonsense every time. People will poke at his speech impediment but he has a pretty quick auto correct for his linguistic gaffes.
 
Biden did better than I expected..
A well written, but at times misleading speach.

As someone that dislikes both Trump and Biden. Biden scored points about 50% of the time, and was delusional the other times.

As of now, deciding on Trump or Biden, is like deciding if you want aids or cancer. Both are bad, very bad. The world will be a far more dangerous place to live with either of them,
 
Joe did a decent job tonight.
It's amazing how many really old people are in congress.
Terms limits!

I take propranolol before any performance to stop my hands from shaking. It works. Why are there bad connotations for taking medication? If Joe took meds tonight, good for him.
