I don't want anyone other than me to determine what is essential to me and I don't want others to determine which liberties are essential. Id consider opiates to be a detriment to society as a whole but removing individual liberties for the betterment of society is what commies do.
O don't get me wrong, I find it very unwelcome and I'm perfectly fine with treating it as such from a social and cultural perspective. I just don't support the federal government determining what substances provide or don't provide value. Opiates do have a useful function as pain management if used and prescribed responsibly but I don't want the federal government to criminalize something that is a danger to an individual, especially to do so subjectively.
I'm fully supportive of localities enacting policies around it or states if they want. And sure, I get that is difficult to implement at that point but such is the nature of liberty.
Also, I mean I don't really support anyone choosing to use opiates recreationally but it's also the principle of it. If the federal government gets to control opiates, then where do we draw the line with what substances they do get to control?
I suppose you'd consider 'heroin' an essential liberty eh bud?

I guess we all have a line somewhere. I don’t think there’s any value to heroin in a society. So I’m not too bothered about it being unwelcome.
The problem comes with government determining what is our isn't detrimental to society. If they can ban heroine, they can also ban HCQ.
When they banned alcohol, they had to do it through a constitutional amendment. What had changed since then?
Sure that’s easy to say but I’ve never seen someone suck dick for HCQ or a bottle of beer. You ever sucked dick for on of those?

Not downvoting you, but that's what freedom looks like.
Did you know that every little drug store in the US sold heroin and cocaine over the counter up until the 20s?
Little old ladies would buy it and put it in their coffee.
Opiate addiction was very well known too, but the people understood freedom and responsibility.
You could also buy a machinegun from the Sears catalog until 1934.
ATF should be a convenience store - not an agency.
No? Never would touch the stuff myself. I'm open to persuasion from both sides.
That’s because you’re an idiot.
No I just don't have knowledge in the area. So are you against heroin prohibition or for?
