America the beautiful...

The report also showed that the year's 64,070 drug fatalities outnumbered:

  • The 35,092 motor vehicle deaths in 2015.
  • AIDS-related deaths in the worst year of the AIDS crisis, when 50,628 people died in 1995.
  • The peak year for homicides in the U.S., when 24,703 people were murdered in 1991.
  • Suicides, which have been rising in the U.S. for nearly 30 years and totaled 44,193 in 2015.

Hang in there Kelly Anne Conway is on the case.
 
She helped beat the unbeatable one maybe her assistance here could help as well.


Keep hating hater.

You could have picked any other clown to represent the liar-in-chief and the same stupid people would have voted the same way.
 
Speaking of Vietnam, if you get a chance to visit one of the travelling memorials, do it, I got to see the Wall That Heals last night and highly recommend it.
 
If it wasn't for abortion, drugs, and murder our population would be about 125,000,000 more than it actually is. There have been 54,000,000 abortions since Roe v Wade. Factor in the kids those babies would have had by now, those aborted between 1973 and 2000, and that's about 70,000,000 missing Americans from abortion alone.

Point is that while I don't think abortion is acceptable, it has probably extended our country's economic viability. The same goes for those who self select out of life through their lifestyle choices or suicide. I feel,bad about people who OD or commit suicide and even those that decide selling drugs and gangbanging are good ideas, just like I feel for the aborted babies that never had a chance at life, but if none of that existed we would have a quality of life similar to what people had in the 1930s IMO.
 
People would argue that pot is a gateway drug to the stuff that actually causes OD's.

And they would be wrong. If there is a "gateway drug", it is booze.

All the weed I smoked, I never sat there toking on a J and thought, "You know what would be awesome? Sticking a needle in my arm."

Speak for yourself. I've had friends that started with weed and thought they would expand their horizons a little moving on to other dangerous illegal substance choices - not just heroine, but other stuff that does require it to be injected or smoked.

Speak for myself, yet you also post something anecdotal...Also, for fvcks sake what is up with people spelling it "heroine", like we are taking about Daenerys Targaryen?

Did they also drink alcohol and view pornography?
 
Right now it seems up to the states to decide. I don't know how interested the current administration is in ending legal marijuana.
1. Do you need me to rephrase the question for you?
2. Federal law trumps (no pun) state law.
