Drug reform is needed yes, and highly regulated drug markets would be safer. But I don't feel comfortable having big pharma selling highly addictive drugs for recreational use think of the opioid epidemic on steroids.
It sucks but honestly it'd overall be for the best to legalize anything someone wants to take. You can still be drug tested at your work so not like everyone would be doing it anyways.
My brother tried opiates for the 1st time, due to the health care system thinking he already was a drug addict ( due to a car accident and subsequent back problems ), and died by himself, in his apartment, due to fentanyl. But hey the system is working... right?
Buddy, better not say those things online. They can track you and find your friend. They won't, probably. Mental outlaw is not popular and known to talk about drugs. But better be smarter the next time.
Treating drug addiction as a criminal issue rather than a medical has hurt more than helped the father of modern policing August Vollmer knew this. We just waiting for some MBA to find a way to make money of of this
@@papakamirneron2514 thats the thing, alcohol is high in the body harm and social harm relative to many drugs we deem 'evil', the numbers where its a problem individually are small relatively, so we apply a tax, we pay a mini insurance to cover that chance we are that small % to ease the burden where problems arise, alcohol is not everyone friend tho, but something else might be, those something else have the same scenario in terms of risk at a base level, but elevated due to its criminalized status, so why? the solution is obvious, and you will never beat human nature, and humans enjoy drugs, they have for a long long time, as do many animals.
yeah, same with Cheeze Pizza. Back in the vietnam war, it was legal in the usa but not soviet union. I wished we were still the good guys. Public Law 95-225 is veit cong
Theres gotta be a limit just look at Vancouver Canada and tell me harm reduction works. It shouldnt be a criminal offense but it should not be encouraged either
Idk if people know this, but Dark Web Markets can be used for much more than selling drugs. You can sell anything, tax free, without regulation and fully anonymous, assuming you have great opsec.
This kind of tech actually allows illegal stuff to be traded. And yes, because it is anonymous, minor can get access to this just like the other said on another comments. I don't know what to feel.
i live in a country where medical marijuana is very hard to get even if you have cancer so alot people just get their medicine from darkweb. it's a literal life saver to them.
and Cheeze Pizza is hard to get. Back when martin luther king jr gave his "I have a dream" speech, Cheeze Pizza was legal in the usa but not in the soviet union. I wished we were still the good guys like back then
Yep, I was ripped away from one of the last tar connects around here and was forced to either take Methadone or Fentanyl... I don't like Fentanyl so I'm screwed with Methadone while I slowly die from my immune system and Traumatic Brain Injuries.
I don't know about the US but a massive drawback here is that marketplace prices are sometimes hundreds of times higher than pharmacy prices for prescription drugs
@ The market price actually doesn't seem to be a big variable here in the US, although it can be sometimes. The price is a little bit over but sometimes it's under too. What seems to do more to the price here is competition with other medicines and drugs.
@ I believe the US has some of the highest prescription drug prices in the world though so black market prices are probably comparable and therefore don't seem overly high. And with imported/smuggled prescription drugs from Mexico and South America I can see black market prices sometimes being lower. But I don't really know much about US pricing
you’d probably have more luck on the surface web tbh, in usa u can also just buy every single component on ebay individually and download or design the lower
this is true, but as someone who lives in a legal state, i have seen people from halfway across the country come and buy pounds of weed, i think we both know what they are doing with 90% of that, the black market for it may not be smaller, but the supply points around legal states for sure changes.
@@ginomctony6773 BTW, I agree with legalization (the Portugal model), but abuse reduction can't be the goal (akin to alcohol), it's simply decriminalization and regulation of quality of product. I have to buy black market MILK because I can't buy that kind in the store. We could go to jail just for buying milk from farmers.
William F. Buckley used to describe the math of prohibition like this: The tougher the drugs, the stronger the dose, i.e. Laudanum vs. Fentanyl and this was 40 years before Fentanyl. Coke went from energy drink to crack, pot went from leafy stuff to synthetic etc. Winning the war on drugs has killed more people than the old school well tolerated forms of drugs - well done.
When California banned 🚫 .50 BMG rifles leading manufacturer Barrett just made a new cartridge based off the old 50BMG called 416. As a new caliber it was not banned and used the exact same rifle platform. The 416 Barrett fires a round longer faster and harder than the 50BMG. The ban spawned a new more powerful rifle that was 100% CA legal.
Well said. ThomasSowell, our great philosopher, often talks about how political ideas sound good, but they often end up with unintended consequences. Just as you said, making drugs illegal caused criminals to synthesize the drugs into more powerful compact forms for transportation and bulk(doses) sales to limit their exposure to arrest.
ask anyone on the street (avg person) if they'd take it, given the opportunity, and they will almost certainly (honestly) say no. My point is that education should come before control.
Lol, meth is already sold freely to those who really want it This is not an argument against anything, it is the same bullshit socialists say about guns in my country
No one is supporting over the counter sales of meth. They are supporting its sale through health care centers that can actually keep track of the addicts and provide the help they desperately need. Do you actually think regular people are going to say "let's all try it, this looks fun"?
Oregon's experiment with decriminalizing hard drugs didn't go so well. Portland is overrun with homeless junkies. Also looking at things like Purdue Pharmaceutical I fear our pharma companies wouldn't care if they were killing people if it was legal. I might be in favor of having a policy of dropping possession charges if someone agreed to enter a drug cessation program and monitoring but I just don't think our social services are functional enough to make legalization work.
decriminalizing drugs doesn't change a thing and is not what mentaloutlaw was advocating for. He more so discussed drugs being completely legal and regulated so you can actually get real stuff and know what you're doing. You clearly didn't understand his point.
most people who know a lot about drug addiction issues and help affected people agree with kenny on this making things illegal will not snap them out of existance, they'll just have no regulations
my mother is dead because her crack was laced with fentanyl and crack heads usually dont carry narcan unfortunately.. 😢 we need drug reform. my mother would still be here if she could have had access to clean drugs. i know that is a very sad statement but she was never going to stop. the least that could happen is these people get a better supply.
Yeah - i honestly think all drugs should be legalised and regulated. However i think people should take a safety class on said drug classification before they can purchase it. I also agree with making mental health treatment and rehabilitation much more easily accessible and destigmatized - that way people will be less inclined to abuse drugs in the first place and those who do form addictions can get help. Sorry about your mother 😔
All intoxicants are bad for the society, including alcohol. Those who sell d__gs are not your buddies, They don't care about if your addiction destroys your family, just like gambling operators. Both are fi__thy industries.
Same with McDonald's. Same with all fast food. Same with hormone transgender "therapy". Same with tanning beds. You can apply this logic to so much. People should have the right to choose what they do with their own body
Drugs are bad, but this guy didn't deserve such a sentence indeed. He did enough time. Kids eventually copy the behavior of adults around them, just because there's tons of junk food and alcohol and cigarettes are bad, that doesn't mean that drugs are harmless and they should be legal. There are places where all drugs are decriminalized and you can see what happens there.
@ I'm not familiar with the whole story, but I'm expecting a lot of hate. My views on harmful substances are considered conservative by 2025 standards. Medical marijuana should only be used by those in need, not by kids who want to get high because they are dopamine poisoned and can't find happiness in being productive.
This is somewhat close to what Portugal implemented since the 90s. You're never arrested for possesion, only for dealing. And they even have center where people can go to get seringes and tools to use their drugs in a safe space. This has been the most successful drug policy ever, and one of the main reasons other countries started decriminalization.
Yet another reason for free healthcare (tax-founded). It gives a strong financial motive for improving public health. People who live long healthy lives pay more tax into the system than they require in return from healthcare. They are also happier and more productive at work.
Not exactly the vast majority of drug transactions are and always have been hand to hand. He did open the good door to greatly reduce black market violence If users had stopped buying hand to hand. Even then there would have been violence among the narcos.
I'm sorry, but your perspective is an idealistic one. Just look at the Opium wars and how the Chinese were bordering on societal and military collapse until they stopped the flow of opium from British India. Maybe you think I'm wrong, and maybe I think you're wrong, but drugs are bad for everyone, m'kay.
Ross helped make the world a better place. Adults who want to put things in their own bodies is their choice in life. Anything someone can do to minimize the violence and harm around that market is a good person, IMO. I'm a libertarian AnCap, but I'm very thankful to president Trump for doing what he did here. Even if you want to argue Trump did it for the wrong reason, a good deed is a good deed at the end of the day.
5:10 I don't really agree with that, i had friends buying stuff from the dark web for like half the price (compared to the streets) and flipping it, in highschool, it's really not hard to get into
I wonder how different the situation is compared to countries in, of course, Europe? Not EU as a whole, but individual countries. Especially the Scandinavian ones! I know that most have great rehabilitation programs to get people back into society after they have been caught, and there are places where you can do _these things_ without getting in way of others (like ruining public bathrooms). I do see how what you said about _the things_ would be better, if they were legal and regulated and such. And the hypocrisy that fast food and other less healthy substances aren't regulated like _those things_ are. Those are some good viewpoints that more people could learn in Europe!
The problem with decriminalizing drug use and sale is that drug crime is a way to arrest people that the US government is not in favour of. Once people are incarcerated, they can be used for extremely cheap labour by big companies, massively profiting the prison industrial complex
The problem with decriminalizing drug sale is that you're incentivizing an industry that makes money based on accruing the most number of addicts and destroys their mind and soul if they don't have perfect discipline. The fast food industry is terrible, the gambling industry is bad and the pharma industry in the US is tragic. Adding drugs into the mix so that the government can collect taxes from scumbags in corporate offices strategizing on how to get the maximum number of heroin sales is a terrible idea.
@@rashid8646 you're making ludicrous claims and cherry picking a hardcore drug. the industry will always be there, it can be in the hands of cartels and other criminals or it can be in the hands of corporations who at the very least cannot levy private armies. at the very least it can be taxed, and some people can be helped. you propose its a problem but the problem you actually propose is that some people will become addicts, which happens in any situation. make the best of the world instead of pretending its something else
@ Decriminalization does not mean you get to buy heroin at Walmart. It means that drug USE is not actively criminalized and you get to decide what you do with your own body, with clinical providers being able to provide care more easily and provide clean supplies to reduce death risk in addicts. There is no incentivization anywhere. People are already using drugs anyway even though they are highly illegal. We might as well ensure that people can be safe. I should also mention that ads for PRESCRIPTION drugs are legal in the US, which directly incentivizes people to seek that medication out which is sometimes highly addictive (Oxycontin). Also, legalizing some drugs for prescription to help addicts would be infinitely better than criminalizing them and sending them to the streets to get stuff cut with fentanyl or even stronger drugs. More than 100.000 people in the US die of overdoses every year, a lot of the time due to cut stuff. This shouldn’t continue to happen. You also missed my point that in the US drug criminalization is used to provide cheap labour. Criminalization of addiction does not help ANYONE but the upper class and the prison industrial complex. Drug enforcement is also not done equally, as lower-class people are more likely to get arrested for use compared to the upper class. Drug criminalization clearly does not work and we need a better approach.
I think it's also important not to stop your train of thought at the government Huge reasone why it is shit, is because it's controlled by corporations
His main 2 points were : "you should be able to take (harmful thing) if you choose to" which is fine and dandy if drug users had a record of being a peaceful bunch who definitely would never let their drug use make them dangerous to other members of society. And "drugs is bad but burgers is also bad" which is a lame point because aside from the fact that one is way more PROPORTIOANLLY dangerous than the other, fast food eaters typically won't stab you in the middle of an empty parking lot at 2 am for a mcdouble. He really just needs to stick to teaching kids how to use git and pip
@@Bloom_HD and we ban people from using something of their own accord because some people cause harm? Ban alcohol because rteds start fights and assault women? With proper education of safe usage and programs to help people it works. A lot of what happens with methheads is a behavioral thing. They have problems and treat them with drugs because we have terrible mental health resources in this country and put little effort into combating homelessness. People taking drugs en masse is a symptom of society being sick, banning them is just treating the symptom and not fixing the cause.
@dobred2476Sugar is a literal component of food/drinks or just food (I know that eating straight up Sugar is a Bad thing, but at least You can consume it to gain energy in your body), i think the line can be draw If the thing You are considering are a part of nutrition or medical treatment (another subtopic). The things that are not an escencial of your body should be normally regulated like cigarretes, alcohol, weed, shrooms, etc. And in My personal take, the hard drugs should be highly regulated like guns and dosificated.

Also lost a brother to heroin. His body sat in his car in a grocery store parking lot for three days before anyone realized he was gone. We needed safe testing and accessibility decades ago.
People who influence the government are making money off of the high prices for drug sales. If they legalized it prices would become moderate, and since you could just mail it from one country to the next, the Norco traffickers would lose their gig. There's no money in legalization. Just like there's no money in helping the homeless.😊
Should stop at MDMA, Shrooms, Weed, those levels of drugs. Anything deeper than those you're trying to die. I know too many doing kratom and coke and it's just sad.
Kratom is more harmful than MDMA? More addictive, maybe. Way less harmful, MDMA is worse for you in regular use than methamphetamine is and has higher risk of death from single use. Overheating and dehydration is horrible.
Kratom doesn’t lead to bad decision making and brutal debt like coke does. Many people trying to kick heroin use kratom with varying degrees of success. It’s healthier than methadone.
This could be a Fed. who's trying to look reasonable and mask his agenda, but his real agenda is to malign kratom as if it were dangerous and addictive. He's trying to get us to associate kratom (which breaks drug addictions) with cocaine. Learn to look for the little manipulation tricks.
I’ve been saying what you’re saying in this video for 10 years I agree with you 100%. public health would get better as well as putting the cartels out of business who are becoming as powerful as countries.
This is why we should legalize use and harshly punish abuse, just like we do with alcohol. You can get shitfaced but public intoxication is a crime, DUI is a crime, there are different crimes where if done while intoxicated it can increase the penalty, that's what we should be doing, not just handing out free crack and say "Go get 'em fellas"
The way they implement harm reduction is hardly harm reduction at all. It was more blanket decriminalization with no plan for harm reduction. Harm reduction can be successful if implemented correctly but the cities don't actually care about harm reduction and just care about pandering.
@@ImperiumLibertasAlways the same with those policies. Harm reduction? No, you're increasing harm, to your innocent citizens who had nothing to do with the damn drugs.
Legalising hard drugs is just as bad as criminalising them, what's really needed is to remove the underlying issues that bring people to use hard drugs in the first place through social reforms, like social safety nets, universal housing, liveable wages, free counseling and help (but that would be "cOmMuNiSm", so it's anyone guess when such reforms will be implemented, if ever)
I think if you see the hard core gangs that make money off of drugs and human trafficking wrapped up in it you'd see the value in legalizing. Companies can drug test so that people arent using meth or whatever.
@@highimwolf Legalizing is not going to solve the problem. Finding a way to lower demand is the only way that truly works. Poland used this trick and it worked excellently for them.
@@highimwolf the vast majority of drug addicts aren't using because they want to, but because they're in extreme pain, be it physical or mental, that makes life unbearable without those drugs, and the only way to treat that pain effectively is through social reforms. Hard drugs like fentanyl or heroin should never be legal for anything outside of the medical field, and even then they should be heavily regulated (just look at what happened with the opioid epidemic, that was completely legal and yet ruined millions of people's lives)
Kek. The usual commie BS. Guess what? ppl who have material wealth take drugs as well. >free counseling and help I always say I'll take a coupon for the brothel instead when they offer me that garbage. You know nothing about addiction or 'underlying issues'.

Here one corrupt company has monopolized the industry. Not only that their Diacetylmorphine sucks and smh off w/ it, it costs nearly 4000€. It's bullshit. Doctors are either corrupt or have a giant ego. I can make Heroin the natural way and make it way cheaper. I would sell it @ production costs if anything else is covered. I even made Estra and found different substances to fix butchered transitions. Universal healthcare+overregulation are the problem not the solution! >to treat that pain effectively is through social reforms That's the greatest BS I ever heard. If you've mental problems, you've gotta learn to live w/ them if you're not to far gone. Physical pain can be alleviated w/ different substances. Just give ppl the choice, help to self help etc Otherwise feck off. Your 'social reforms' will only create more welfare recipients who in turn produce more corrupt beaurocrats. The corporate welfare is already collapsing as we speak.
Great pardon! Power to the People. A single point this video didn't discuss: the dude was arrested for running a platform / marketplace, not actually buying it selling any illegal substance.
While I don't agree with the obesity comparison, I do agree with the drug regulation ideas shared. They should be decriminalized and given a healthy medium to people who struggle with such issues, help as well. It's heart breaking to see people fall into any form of abuse.
I think that the dark net makes it much easier for kids to get their hands on the stuff. For the same reasons you mentioned, on the street you would need to know someone, and you run a high chance of being robbed because you are a kid. You can figure out how to get onto markets from a single YT video. So this makes it easier than finding a street connect and much less risky.

as you'll soon realize, I am no expert, but I have a question. Considering the highly addictive nature of social media, alcohol and other things - wouldn't allowing people to freely consume heroin and meth be absolutely disastrous? I get the pros for lifting these prohibitions that you brought up. But what are the cons?
Libertarians think that most people know what's best for them when in fact they will destroy their own bodies for pleasure. Reminds me of the delusion of democracy.
What about what happened when they allow drugs to be legal in Portland? That kind of changed my stance on the whole legalize it thing with regard to hard drugs anyway... There's probably some sort of gray area I'm missing so anyone with insight, you're welcome to inform me...
Portland decriminalized drugs which is not the same as legalizing them, 1: under decriminalization the drugs still come from the black market which makes them dangerous because users don’t really know what they are taking, 2: Portland decriminalized drugs without increasing harm reduction services (which is what Portugal did successfully, Portugal’s decriminalization of drugs was also more successful than Portland because hard drugs like heroin in Portugal’s illicit drug trade were less toxic than what we currently have in the U.S (Fentanyl analogs, Nitazenes, Benzo-dope or Xylazine) so not having a regulated supply was less of a problem.
Also Portland had a hotline people could call to get treatment and with that their fine waived. It had 10 callers a month, making the staff cost 7k usd per call. And it didn't last long enough in Portland considering everything. And Portugal had harm reduction facilities that were built in the 90s if I remember correctly.
@@Blitz-po1lp omg thank you. You are the first person in this comment section that actually understands that decriminalization is not at all the same as them actually being legal and regulated.
Even as someone who has no interest in "chemical entertainment" that is "higher on the hardness scale" than "green plant matter"... I also think everything should be legal and just heavily regulated. I think the only difference we'd see is that a lot of the people using up healthcare resources for overdoses would no longer be overdosing and the people who might have died would just overdose.
I strongly disagree with the points made in this video. Drugs isn't just a public health issue, it's illegal because the 'average' person is a lot more likely to get addicted to it, and the impact of drugs is a lot worse than that of alcohol or nicotine (e.g. you are not stimulating a productive country by having people take drugs). Therefore it is not only logical but necessary that a government protects it's citizens from harm (just look at the videos of drug addicts in streets). Regulated drugs wouldn't solve anything.
Yeah but that's just you pretending to know what's best for people. I personally don't think that doing Meth is good for you, nor to drink coffee every day. But who am I to tell you what to do with your body, as long as you are not actively and directly hurting anyone else? With that old and lame "it's just to protect you" argument, government can advance and start prohibiting things and even do censorship. The line should be drawn at square 0, otherwise Uncle Sam would get in it deeper and deeper. Government as an organization has really no incentive to apply laissez-faire policies. If they have more control, they get more money, and they can claim victories if they get to improve any metric, thus staying in power. YOU are responsible for your well-being, not the government. YOU are responsible of taking good decisions, not the government.
Every time the government regulates something they just make it worse. Like work times got shorter and shorter, until the government "helped" and now we are stuck on the 40 h work week.
Before government regulations, work hours were often very long, especially during the Industrial Revolution when many factory workers, including kids, worked 12 to 16 hours a day, six days a week. Labor unions started pushing for shorter hours, leading to the first laws like the Adamson Act in 1916, which set an eight-hour workday for railroad workers. After that the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 established the 40-hour workweek for many jobs.

You say that like it's a gotcha but legitimately why not. Most drug crimes are petty possession in puritan redneck states and progressive lib states all the same. Let them to their family cause unless they were part of organized violent crime they aren't the problem. Not to mentioned the last thing you wrote is completely false
The main reason why drugs are illegal, as I see it, is that drugs are dangerous in more than just the OD way. A single use of a strong drug is enough to make a person addicted for life, never to recover, or at least without external help. And the cost of that addiction more often than not ends up destroying families. You don't see people stealing and robbing to afford more alcohol. And you can't even tell the strength of the drug from smell or appearance. Moreover, illegal markets might not want you to die, but they sure as hell want you to get forever addicted.
I do see people robbing and stealing for alcohol, and I see more lives being ruined by alcohol than by street drugs. The only difference between tobacco, alcohol, weed (some places) and even sugar and caffeine is that those 5 are now taxable whereas coke, meth etc are not taxable yet. The gov doesnt have control of the means of production so they don't like that they can't profit off it. People don't wake up one day and say, "Hey I feel like slamming a line", people only really get addicted to drugs when they don't like their own lives, so its going to happen no matter what. People with good lives don't feel the same need to keep doing a drug after doing it once, it's people with shiт lives and addictive personalities that can't let go, and as long as some people dont like their lives, the cycle will continue. All the war on drugs does is make them resort to more dangerous ways of getting what they want. Pharma companies are funding the opiod crisis just like the dealers, only difference is they're allowed to do it legally

well big pharma is already selling highly addictive drugs that are not supposed to be used for recreational use but in fact they do
They slick do already.. all the low painkillers and stuff are just low dosage meth or heroine
remember kids, dont do drugs, even if it becomes "legal"
Drugs are bad, mmk?
I will stop doing drugs when they become legal
ill let the drugs do me instead

Some drugs have a really high benefit compared to risks for some people tho.

Treating drug addiction as a criminal issue rather than a medical has hurt more than helped the father of modern policing August Vollmer knew this. We just waiting for some MBA to find a way to make money of of this
I think it’s a monetary issue: legalise it’s sale in controlled settings and impose a large “you are a burden on the health system” tax on it.
@@papakamirneron2514 thats the thing, alcohol is high in the body harm and social harm relative to many drugs we deem 'evil', the numbers where its a problem individually are small relatively, so we apply a tax, we pay a mini insurance to cover that chance we are that small % to ease the burden where problems arise, alcohol is not everyone friend tho, but something else might be, those something else have the same scenario in terms of risk at a base level, but elevated due to its criminalized status, so why? the solution is obvious, and you will never beat human nature, and humans enjoy drugs, they have for a long long time, as do many animals.

Drug markets help a lot when disorders are treated like a joke. Also with it even being fairly safe once you're knowledgeable about things

This is so true
I don't know about the US but a massive drawback here is that marketplace prices are sometimes hundreds of times higher than pharmacy prices for prescription drugs
@ The market price actually doesn't seem to be a big variable here in the US, although it can be sometimes. The price is a little bit over but sometimes it's under too. What seems to do more to the price here is competition with other medicines and drugs.
@ I believe the US has some of the highest prescription drug prices in the world though so black market prices are probably comparable and therefore don't seem overly high. And with imported/smuggled prescription drugs from Mexico and South America I can see black market prices sometimes being lower. But I don't really know much about US pricing
I really don't know why there are several sites to sell drugs there, but almost none to sell guns... makes me wonder...
Guns are much harder to smuggle compared to drugs. Not everyone has American gun laws and a lot of the dark Web traffic comes europe
you’d probably have more luck on the surface web tbh, in usa u can also just buy every single component on ebay individually and download or design the lower
probably because its quite easy to print a lower and buy all the other parts for it online.
Same things with vaccines passes during COVID. Suddenly all these sites took a hard moral stance against that.
The whole concept glows top to bottom.
I think a lot of this has to do with how much they glow. Drugs keep the population compliant, guns help unrest.
We have legalized marijuana , but the black market for weed is no smaller. People who can't legally buy weed still black market.
it's not legalized everywhere, and where it is, the only people that can't legally buy it are kids and maybe felons
That's cause there's still a lot of restrictions on it. It's probably irrelevant discussion cause trump would never legalize any of it anyways
this is true, but as someone who lives in a legal state, i have seen people from halfway across the country come and buy pounds of weed, i think we both know what they are doing with 90% of that, the black market for it may not be smaller, but the supply points around legal states for sure changes.
@@ginomctony6773 BTW, I agree with legalization (the Portugal model), but abuse reduction can't be the goal (akin to alcohol), it's simply decriminalization and regulation of quality of product.

William F. Buckley used to describe the math of prohibition like this: The tougher the drugs, the stronger the dose, i.e. Laudanum vs. Fentanyl and this was 40 years before Fentanyl. Coke went from energy drink to crack, pot went from leafy stuff to synthetic etc. Winning the war on drugs has killed more people than the old school well tolerated forms of drugs - well done.
it's a war on consciousness. if you can clearly and critically think, you are less likely to get oppressed and manipulated.
When California banned 🚫 .50 BMG rifles leading manufacturer Barrett just made a new cartridge based off the old 50BMG called 416. As a new caliber it was not banned and used the exact same rifle platform. The 416 Barrett fires a round longer faster and harder than the 50BMG. The ban spawned a new more powerful rifle that was 100% CA legal.

Well said. ThomasSowell, our great philosopher, often talks about how political ideas sound good, but they often end up with unintended consequences.

No one is supporting over the counter sales of meth. They are supporting its sale through health care centers that can actually keep track of the addicts and provide the help they desperately need. Do you actually think regular people are going to say "let's all try it, this looks fun"?
The problem is that when you're high, you can't be responsible with your usage. And some drugs are just flat-out dangerous in any amount.
Oregon's experiment with decriminalizing hard drugs didn't go so well. Portland is overrun with homeless junkies. Also looking at things like Purdue Pharmaceutical I fear our pharma companies wouldn't care if they were killing people if it was legal. I might be in favor of having a policy of dropping possession charges if someone agreed to enter a drug cessation program and monitoring but I just don't think our social services are functional enough to make legalization work.
It sounds like you figured out the solution yourself. Reform social services.
These people were already a problem before decriminalization.

Drugs are bad, but this guy didn't deserve such a sentence indeed. He did enough time. Kids eventually copy the behavior of adults around them, just because there's tons of junk food and alcohol and cigarettes are bad, that doesn't mean that drugs are harmless and they should be legal. There are places where all drugs are decriminalized and you can see what happens there.
what places are you referring to specifically?
This the same person that also tried sending hits to people who he thought was a threat to his illegal market.
@rmi6794Places like Portugal or the Netherlands
Drugs are the best
@ I'm not familiar with the whole story, but I'm expecting a lot of hate. My views on harmful substances are considered conservative by 2025 standards. Medical marijuana should only be used by those in need, not by kids who want to get high because they are dopamine poisoned and can't find happiness in being productive.
This is somewhat close to what Portugal implemented since the 90s. You're never arrested for possesion, only for dealing. And they even have center where people can go to get seringes and tools to use their drugs in a safe space. This has been the most successful drug policy ever, and one of the main reasons other countries started decriminalization.
Huh. Well, that's a start. Good for Portugal
In Portugal, if you have a “dealer quantity”, usually very low (like one or two doses max), you’ll get arrested regardless.
Why does drug decriminalization work, and why is it made into a joke in the US?
When it's alcohol I'm allowed to be a scientist. When it's psychedelics I'm not. Excellent argument.
Thank you for clearing up your stance on the matter
Yet another reason for free healthcare (tax-founded). It gives a strong financial motive for improving public health. People who live long healthy lives pay more tax into the system than they require in return from healthcare. They are also happier and more productive at work.
This man single handedly took violent crime out of the black market with SR. People don’t realize this.
Not exactly the vast majority of drug transactions are and always have been hand to hand. He did open the good door to greatly reduce black market violence If users had stopped buying hand to hand. Even then there would have been violence among the narcos.
Besides the hits he allegedly made. The violence is still somewhere but it's no longer localised, much like how slave labour was globalised.

The problem with decriminalizing drug use and sale is that drug crime is a way to arrest people that the US government is not in favour of. Once people are incarcerated, they can be used for extremely cheap labour by big companies, massively profiting the prison industrial complex
The problem with decriminalizing drug sale is that you're incentivizing an industry that makes money based on accruing the most number of addicts and destroys their mind and soul if they don't have perfect discipline. The fast food industry is terrible, the gambling industry is bad and the pharma industry in the US is tragic. Adding drugs into the mix so that the government can collect taxes from scumbags in corporate offices strategizing on how to get the maximum number of heroin sales is a terrible idea.
@@rashid8646 you're making ludicrous claims and cherry picking a hardcore drug. the industry will always be there, it can be in the hands of cartels and other criminals or it can be in the hands of corporations who at the very least cannot levy private armies. at the very least it can be taxed, and some people can be helped. you propose its a problem but the problem you actually propose is that some people will become addicts, which happens in any situation. make the best of the world instead of pretending its something else
@ Decriminalization does not mean you get to buy heroin at Walmart. It means that drug USE is not actively criminalized and you get to decide what you do with your own body, with clinical providers being able to provide care more easily and provide clean supplies to reduce death risk in addicts.
There is no incentivization anywhere. People are already using drugs anyway even though they are highly illegal. We might as well ensure that people can be safe. I should also mention that ads for PRESCRIPTION drugs are legal in the US, which directly incentivizes people to seek that medication out which is sometimes highly addictive (Oxycontin).
Also, legalizing some drugs for prescription to help addicts would be infinitely better than criminalizing them and sending them to the streets to get stuff cut with fentanyl or even stronger drugs. More than 100.000 people in the US die of overdoses every year, a lot of the time due to cut stuff. This shouldn’t continue to happen.
You also missed my point that in the US drug criminalization is used to provide cheap labour. Criminalization of addiction does not help ANYONE but the upper class and the prison industrial complex. Drug enforcement is also not done equally, as lower-class people are more likely to get arrested for use compared to the upper class. Drug criminalization clearly does not work and we need a better approach.
your opinion on this issue is perfect, the governments love money from prisons and military
I think it's also important not to stop your train of thought at the government

His main 2 points were :
"you should be able to take (harmful thing) if you choose to" which is fine and dandy if drug users had a record of being a peaceful bunch who definitely would never let their drug use make them dangerous to other members of society.
And "drugs is bad but burgers is also bad" which is a lame point because aside from the fact that one is way more PROPORTIOANLLY dangerous than the other, fast food eaters typically won't stab you in the middle of an empty parking lot at 2 am for a mcdouble.

With proper education of safe usage and programs to help people it works. A lot of what happens with methheads is a behavioral thing. They have problems and treat them with drugs because we have terrible mental health resources in this country and put little effort into combating homelessness. People taking drugs en masse is a symptom of society being sick, banning them is just treating the symptom and not fixing the cause.
@dobred2476Sugar is a literal component of food/drinks or just food (I know that eating straight up Sugar is a Bad thing, but at least You can consume it to gain energy in your body), i think the line can be draw If the thing You are considering are a part of nutrition or medical treatment (another subtopic). The things that are not an escencial of your body should be normally regulated like cigarretes, alcohol, weed, shrooms, etc. And in My personal take, the hard drugs should be highly regulated like guns and dosificated.

Should stop at MDMA, Shrooms, Weed, those levels of drugs. Anything deeper than those you're trying to die. I know too many doing kratom and coke and it's just sad.
kratom is legal in a lot of places though even MDMA and shrooms aren't. It depends on the person I guess.
And this is why drug warriors win, you only want legal drugs that fit within your taste
Kratom is more harmful than MDMA? More addictive, maybe. Way less harmful, MDMA is worse for you in regular use than methamphetamine is and has higher risk of death from single use. Overheating and dehydration is horrible.
Kratom doesn’t lead to bad decision making and brutal debt like coke does. Many people trying to kick heroin use kratom with varying degrees of success. It’s healthier than methadone.
This could be a Fed. who's trying to look reasonable and mask his agenda, but his real agenda is to malign kratom as if it were dangerous and addictive. He's trying to get us to associate kratom (which breaks drug addictions) with cocaine. Learn to look for the little manipulation tricks.

One look at cities where "harm reduction" was tried tells me all i need to know
100 hundred ffffin percent dude
This is why we should legalize use and harshly punish abuse, just like we do with alcohol. You can get shitfaced but public intoxication is a crime, DUI is a crime, there are different crimes where if done while intoxicated it can increase the penalty, that's what we should be doing, not just handing out free crack and say "Go get 'em fellas"
The way they implement harm reduction is hardly harm reduction at all. It was more blanket decriminalization with no plan for harm reduction. Harm reduction can be successful if implemented correctly but the cities don't actually care about harm reduction and just care about pandering.
Don’t they successfully help heг0ine addicts, by giving them small doses in Sweden? Maybe there are some other measures too
@@ImperiumLibertasAlways the same with those policies. Harm reduction? No, you're increasing harm, to your innocent citizens who had nothing to do with the damn drugs.

Legalising hard drugs is just as bad as criminalising them, what's really needed is to remove the underlying issues that bring people to use hard drugs in the first place through social reforms, like social safety nets, universal housing, liveable wages, free counseling and help (but that would be "cOmMuNiSm", so it's anyone guess when such reforms will be implemented, if ever)
I think if you see the hard core gangs that make money off of drugs and human trafficking wrapped up in it you'd see the value in legalizing. Companies can drug test so that people arent using meth or whatever.

The cons is that addicts will increase to astounding amounts and there's going to be more overdoses and accidents.
What about what happened when they allow drugs to be legal in Portland? That kind of changed my stance on the whole legalize it thing with regard to hard drugs anyway... There's probably some sort of gray area I'm missing so anyone with insight, you're welcome to inform me...
Portland decriminalized drugs which is not the same as legalizing them, 1: under decriminalization the drugs still come from the black market which makes them dangerous because users don’t really know what they are taking, 2: Portland decriminalized drugs without increasing harm reduction services (which is what Portugal did successfully, Portugal’s decriminalization of drugs was also more successful than Portland because hard drugs like heroin in Portugal’s illicit drug trade were less toxic than what we currently have in the U.S (Fentanyl analogs, Nitazenes, Benzo-dope or Xylazine) so not having a regulated supply was less of a problem.
Also Portland had a hotline people could call to get treatment and with that their fine waived. It had 10 callers a month, making the staff cost 7k usd per call.
And it didn't last long enough in Portland considering everything. And Portugal had harm reduction facilities that were built in the 90s if I remember correctly.

Even as someone who has no interest in "chemical entertainment" that is "higher on the hardness scale" than "green plant matter"... I also think everything should be legal and just heavily regulated. I think the only difference we'd see is that a lot of the people using up healthcare resources for overdoses would no longer be overdosing and the people who might have died would just overdose.
I strongly disagree with the points made in this video. Drugs isn't just a public health issue, it's illegal because the 'average' person is a lot more likely to get addicted to it, and the impact of drugs is a lot worse than that of alcohol or nicotine (e.g. you are not stimulating a productive country by having people take drugs). Therefore it is not only logical but necessary that a government protects it's citizens from harm (just look at the videos of drug addicts in streets). Regulated drugs wouldn't solve anything.
if impact of LSD, shrooms and MDMA is a lot worse than that of nicotine and alcohol then Trump is Jesus Christ incarnated
Yeah but that's just you pretending to know what's best for people. I personally don't think that doing Meth is good for you, nor to drink coffee every day. But who am I to tell you what to do with your body, as long as you are not actively and directly hurting anyone else? With that old and lame "it's just to protect you" argument, government can advance and start prohibiting things and even do censorship. The line should be drawn at square 0, otherwise Uncle Sam would get in it deeper and deeper. Government as an organization has really no incentive to apply laissez-faire policies. If they have more control, they get more money, and they can claim victories if they get to improve any metric, thus staying in power. YOU are responsible for your well-being, not the government. YOU are responsible of taking good decisions, not the government.
People out here really act like the Iranian Contra never happened. Short term memories
Every time the government regulates something they just make it worse. Like work times got shorter and shorter, until the government "helped" and now we are stuck on the 40 h work week.
Before government regulations, work hours were often very long, especially during the Industrial Revolution when many factory workers, including kids, worked 12 to 16 hours a day, six days a week. Labor unions started pushing for shorter hours, leading to the first laws like the Adamson Act in 1916, which set an eight-hour workday for railroad workers. After that the Fair Labor Standards Act in 1938 established the 40-hour workweek for many jobs.
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Trump is just an example of real world government and the world is just now seeing it

Ross ulbricht ran a website for the most part, if you can't understand why he doesn't belong behind bars anymore than I can't help you. Same with most prisoners
Was there a compelling reason he was released or did trump just feel like it
@xj3nr he did it for the support of the libertarians I think. I don't think he gives a fuck. You see how every libertarian outfit is immediately cheering they bin hoping for this for a while and one of them must of bin able to sell it to him somehow. That's the story imo
@xj3nr there's a compelling reason if u wanna be a popular politician but "compelling" Is very subjective. Lots of ppl feel he was made an example of and it was an easy win with libertarians who have bin asking for his pardon for ages now. Because I'm their eyes he just set up like a Facebook marketplace that u can sell almost anything but stuff like CP and a couple other things were bamned
Stalin was just running a government bro, don't hate.
Im am 100% for legalization but I'm also 100% for ending fabricated poverty.
Too many industries are allowed to literally end peoples economic lives and its legal.
So why not free all dr ug related cases then?? There's people doing way more time for way less crime, this dude tried to unalive people.
The hits were never real, and it could be argued that he was manipulated and extorted into that situation
no he didn't. Multiple sources have confirmed ross was not operating the DPR account. Even the "victim" of a hit said it wasn't ross. Get your facts straight
You say that like it's a gotcha but legitimately why not. Most drug crimes are petty possession in puritan redneck states and progressive lib states all the same. Let them to their family cause unless they were part of organized violent crime they aren't the problem. Not to mentioned the last thing you wrote is completely false
problem with decriminalizing drugs is that not a lot of people have self control
sounds like a reason to ban fast food and sugar
End the failed war on (some) drugs!
That thumbnail is an absolute cancer 💀
1 view, bro fell off
The main reason why drugs are illegal, as I see it, is that drugs are dangerous in more than just the OD way. A single use of a strong drug is enough to make a person addicted for life, never to recover, or at least without external help. And the cost of that addiction more often than not ends up destroying families. You don't see people stealing and robbing to afford more alcohol. And you can't even tell the strength of the drug from smell or appearance. Moreover, illegal markets might not want you to die, but they sure as hell want you to get forever addicted.
I do see people robbing and stealing for alcohol, and I see more lives being ruined by alcohol than by street drugs. The only difference between tobacco, alcohol, weed (some places) and even sugar and caffeine is that those 5 are now taxable whereas coke, meth etc are not taxable yet. The gov doesnt have control of the means of production so they don't like that they can't profit off it. People don't wake up one day and say, "Hey I feel like slamming a line", people only really get addicted to drugs when they don't like their own lives, so its going to happen no matter what. People with good lives don't feel the same need to keep doing a drug after doing it once, it's people with shiт lives and addictive personalities that can't let go, and as long as some people dont like their lives, the cycle will continue. All the war on drugs does is make them resort to more dangerous ways of getting what they want. Pharma companies are funding the opiod crisis just like the dealers, only difference is they're allowed to do it legally
NO IT IS NOT.
People do not get addicted for life trying something once. That is crazy.
people don't rob places for alcohol because it's legally available and regulated in the same way drugs should be.
@@KingcoleIIV Someone is on drugs.
If it's not obvious, I'm not talking about stuff like Weed. You don't need an illegal market on the dark web to get it.

Thanks for the video.
I'm Chinese and I want to ask one question: tf is DRUG REFORM????
many people don't want to live in a society where people are taking hard drugs.
