  1. Invest in the development of medicinal psychotropics like psilocibin, and mescaline. Two substances that apparently Peter needs to use desperately in order to clear up his vision on illegal recreational molecules.

  2. Good thing we have the upstanding media like FOX to keep up calm. (irony alert for the neurally challenged)

  3.  @gomertube  You apparently know nothing about the issue.

  4.  @moonstruck336  It use to be in Coke, and available at drug stores, no problem though, because it was not yet illegal. You can still get prescriptions for it if you are in the power-elite.

  5. Coffee is a drug, and pure caffeine is much more toxic than pure cocaine, and just as addictive. I think I will go brew a cup.

  6. You are delusional, and misinformed.

  7. Everything he said about the cartels can be found in the Netflix series Narcos: Mexico, which is several years old.

  8.  @emceeboogieboots1608  Not to mention the fact that most are not likely to "indulge" more than very infrequently, unless micro-dosing. We have come a long way since Tim Leary was Nixon's most dangerous man. But not nearly far enough.

  9.  @Ahhhhhhchoo  Yeah, nothing could go wrong there.

  10.  @StephenGillie  Or sugar, or coffee.

  11.  @swankydanky8025  Sure: I have a very big bucket. It goes all the way from table sugar, to peyote, to opium, etc. etc. Even includes such esoteric legends as obadriene, levo dromirane, and quaaludes. Bet you won't find those at your friendly neighborhood dispensary, or dealer. In the bucket that that bucket is in, I include social media, words in general, sports, you know, anything that that throws those neuropeptides into the breach, but is not directly survival related.

  12.  @Defective1313  You have a "personal responsibility" equation? You are delusional. The only reason crime springs up around drugs, is because they are illegal, and anything that is prohibited by law becomes very profitable to deal in and is by definition a "criminal activity". You are correct, it isn't the substances, it is the laws, and I never said anything else. I personally would rather live next door to a junkie that has a steady free supply, than a tweeker in search of some fast-cash.

  13.  @maxwellblackwell5045  Yeah, however neither psilocybin nor mescaline are synthetic drugs -- einstein. Here's a clue for you: just because something can be synthesized does not mean it is not a naturally occurring substance.

  14. Just like the old money in New York did when the opium trade to China that established their family fortunes was shut down.

  15. Exactly, and smuggling people across the border. On the hierarchy of harm, amphetamines, including cocaine are at the top.

  16. Best way to counter opioid addiction, other than actually helping people by decriminalization and free heroin in a clinical setting with offers of treatment is -- STOP REVIVING PEOPLE WHO OD! It's just a money scam by emergency med companies. The users don't care, why should we spent millions and millions of dollars reviving the same users day after day, when all they want to do is die in pleasure.

  17. You wouldn't need to "take care" of drug users, just stop reviving people who have OD for the second time, and they will take care of themselves -- on the opoids. On cocaine, they will get sick of it, within hours of having as much as they want cheap.

  18. It may not have occurred to you that even though China has the death penalty it has not stopped the smuggling or use of drugs einstein.

  19. And Pizza parlors are fronts for the Mafia's drug business. -- and baby eating democrats that meet in nonexistent basements.

  20.  @HKim0072  If it was legal it would be cheap and not worth stealing.
