Trump Makes Yuge Deal w China to Reclassify Fentanyl Variations

[dannno]

Some things about fentanyl you probably didn't know.

It turns out that it has been illegal to export fentanyl from China, but under their laws chemists were able to make slight variations to the molecular structure that did not fall under the law. They were able to legally export them across the globe.

No more. China has changed their laws so that it is no longer legal to export fentanyl or their variations.

It probably won't disappear, but at least it will be a lot less common.





Now, I'm not fan of the war on drugs at all. But I think it is sadistic and destructive to make relatively safe drugs illegal while legalizing or making it easier to obtain more dangerous and deadly drugs.

Scott Adams and I are both medical cannabis users.

I can't speak for him, but I think fentanyl should be legal in a more free society. But.. why would anybody do fentanyl if they had access to pure, unadulterated heroin? And many of those people might choose a safer alternative such as opium if it were legal. And yet many more would find that cannabis is sufficient.

So fentanyl likely wouldn't even exist in a free market.

Overall I have to say this is a positive move. It also shows that China is starting to be very cooperative and that Trump's negotiations are moving in a positive direction. It will probably save a lot of lives.

I don't know dannno. My sibling was destroyed by heroin. Alive and well now, thank god, but the carnage it caused on my family was devastating and we are not the same family anymore and probably never will be. I hate this drug like I hate the devil. But at the end of the day our government coerced another government to kill exporters of fentanyl. Not exactly "ending the war on drugs" as we all would like to see. I agree with your hypothetical that if everything were legalized people could buy commercial heroin/opium/whatever and not blindly kill themselves. These are very tough decisions.

Scott Adams is wonderful, btw. He was on Tom Woods's podcast last week too.

Blaming the drug is akin to blaming guns.

Sure it's less painful but sometimes reality sucks.

So... It's the "as long as we have government-created problems, we need more government" argument. You forgot, "at least it's better than Hillary!"

Apparently it's a lot like the situation with tariffs. We have to have more so we can get less. Trump logic.

With immigration...
With spending...
With military build ups...
With sanctions...
With bombings...

Basically, anything you want government to stop doing, the government needs to do MORE of it so that it can do less.

Think of it more like tptb have been sadistically supplying deadly drugs to the population for decades while making it difficult to obtain safer drugs, and Trump is trying to reverse that. Before it was crack and heroin, and when they weren't satisfied they moved to fentanyl. Trump is trying to legalize herb, and stamp out fentanyl. If you know anything, that really isn't that bad, in fact it is positive. Like I said, fentanyl would never exist in the free market.

There is no spin.. Fentanyl would not exist in a free market. It is the product of the war on drugs, and it is one of the deadliest things we have seen. Not the fake deadly, like what they said in the 30s about cannabis. Even crack and heroin, in pure un-adulterated form are not inherently deadly - they have to be abused. Fentanyl, but nature, is extremely deadly and there is no good use for it and it would not exist in the free market. It is sadistic and destructive to allow crap like that to flourish while making safer drugs illegal and difficult to obtain.

I'm just using my brain.

Read your post again.

You're saying that it wouldn't exist in a free market. And then you say that it's destructive to "allow" those drugs to flourish. Ok, then why not use the free market???! Why call for MOAR government?! Because the Orange Idol is doing it??

Seems like your brain is damaged if that's your logic.

We don't have a free market..

We should have a free market and legalize all drugs - after which fentanyl would not exist.

It would be like making candy illegal in an elementary school, then saying that candy with arsenic in it is ok. Then handing it out to kids. That is dumb. Legalize candy.. but don't legalize giving kids arsenic. You're essentially saying that you think candy with arsenic would exist in a free market.. it wouldn't.

Just use your brain.

No he isn't. He didn't say anything even remotely resembling that. He didn't intimate it, hint at it, or allow it might ever be true.

He agreed with you that the $#@! wouldn't exist in a free market, then suggested a free market would be a better cure for it than Orange Man's War on Drugs.

You hallucinated the rest.

[dannno]

Some of you wankers don't get it.

What if the government made all food illegal, except for poisonous foods? Then the government started producing and handing out poisonous foods to the population?

If I said they should be prevented from handing out poisonous foods in that situation, would you say people should have the freedom to buy and sell poisonous foods that are going to kill them?

Of course they should have that freedom, in a free market, but there isn't really a market for poisonous foods from a human consumption standpoint when regular food is available. So from a human consumption standpoint, those foods wouldn't exist in a free market. They only exist because the government is producing them and handing them out, and they are only demanded because regular food is illegal by those very same people. These are evil people, and this is their plan. And you are willing to undergo self-destruction because they tricked you into doing something absolutely retarded because you are mindlessly clinging to an ideology.

Well that is interesting, because I've said like 20 times that the free market would be a better cure than the war on drugs. So I guess we agree. But as long as drugs are illegal, making fentanyl legal and allowing it to flourish is retarded.

As long as we have a welfare state, we need MOAR government to stop immigration.
As long as the government is doing so many things, we need to increase government spending.
As long as we have blowback, we need a bigger military.
As long as other countries tax their citizens, we need to raise our tariffs.
As long as terrorists are walking free, we need to bomb them.
As long as government is involved in Health Care, we need MOAR government to manage it better...

Oh, and it's better than Hillary. Like I said earlier:

So... It's the "as long as we have government-created problems, we need more government" argument. You forgot, "at least it's better than Hillary!"
