Meth could be mostly wiped out (none / 0) (#34)

by the cold medicine companies if they wanted to.

There is a book written by a father of a meth addict, and I wish I had more detail right now, but some ingredient in cold medicines doens't really do much for us and they could just stop making it. If they did, no one could make meth in their home with easy to obtain stuff.

I say, let emergency room workers decide what should be illegal. they see the effects and none of them see any pot overdoses or pot-fueled violence (not counting dealers shooting at each other)

Any push to reduce (5.00 / 1) (#37)

the number of people we incarcerate, sadly, would probably need to be paired with the creation of jobs, because you'd always get the reaction from some that it would mean less prison guard jobs.  Pretty sad that we have to lock each other up so we have something to do.  So many other 'jobs' in this country that need to be done, we just have to put the resources behind them.
