   You should withdraw from this conversation Todd. It’s getting kinda of embarrassing for you.

   Au contraire Paul Emery. I think it is you who is making a fool of himself in your defending drug dealers.

   Okay Todd I’m going to ask this question. Does anyone else contributing to or reading this blog support Todd’s view that anyone convicted of selling marijuana to a minor should be executed by a firing squad?

   Breast milk is the ultimate gateway drug.
   If High Fructose Corn Syrup is a drug, that would make Fructose a drug. Think again.
   A century of drug wars has led supposedly strict Constitutional defenders to wanting to shoot people making whoopie that was an American birthright before the 20th century grew Government like Topsy. For shame.
   For what it’s worth, there isn’t anyone better behaved than a junkie who’s gotten their fix and there are little old ladies who have been on morphine for years under a doctor’s care. The problem with drugs aren’t the drugs, but addictive personalities and the drug subcultures driven to violence not by the drugs but by the laws against the drugs that mean the drug user can’t call the police for protection without risking jail.
   No need to shoot users if they provide drugs to minors, even if they actually knew the recipient was a minor. Long prison sentences await many offenses against children, they remain sufficient… if we allow drug subcultures exist out in the open rather than in the shadows. I want the junkie to be able to call the cops if some sociopath is trying to break into their home.
   Personally, I think the only drugs that should be against Federal law to possess without strict controls are any antibiotics that aren’t already all but useless due to overuse, and antiangiogenics like Thalidomide that lead to severe and heartbreaking birth defects if pregnant women are exposed to it. I’ve purchased Thalidomide and the controls are formidable.

   Personally, I think this discussion completely overlooked something that our government paid for regarding the drug contamination of our children through public schools. It paid public schools $420 per student (forced) put on Ritalin (or Aderal). It’s a form of Meth. That’s why some parents who used Meth used their kids prescription. I know adults who were started on their terrible path of addiction seeking relief that began this way. Most of the violent youthful school shooters have this history. The Wall Street Journal did a fantastic article covering it years ago, along with many television documentaries showing what public schools were doing (with these drugs) mostly to boys who are naturally rambunctious, rather than disciplining them. These are natural leaders. I witnessed our local school putting pressure on one family who refused to let them do this to their son. The school ignored (the dumb parents) them until they brought their lawyer along to the meeting. Then all heads turned towards the smart lawyer who asked them, “How are his grades?” Their reply was that the grades were okay. So according to law, he didn’t qualify for drugging and the school didn’t get any extra funding for him. During the process some teachers whispered to the parents to stick by their decision. Whispered? I think this is because union workers are afraid to say anything that might cause them personal trouble earning a living. Needless to say the targeted boy grew into a wonderful dynamic, hard working, creative young man….rather than a drug addict. When you look around our towns at all the problems with drug related criminal activity think about what may have been the cause. Our taxes promoting Meth use?
