TIME TO GET TOUGH ON DRUGS

RE: international Overdose Prevention Day

Whoever came up with this idea? Must be some bureaucrat with nothing
else to do. Having a bunch of people talking about this will not
prevent some person from overdosing on their preferred drugs.

What is needed is the type of advertisement now used regarding using
your phone while driving. Show the results of drug use. Those already
addicted won't pay any attention but it might help keep others from
starting.

And the police must start serious raiding of suspected illegal drug
labs and the courts must start pronouncing serious sentencing of those
found guilty. It is time we quit mollycoddling drug users and criminal
drug makers.
