Had a disagreement with my wife over Trumps “controversial” statement regarding giving drug dealers the death penalty.

She brings up things like kids that sold marijuana don’t deserve said death penalty.

I believe there should be a gradation, but a serious threat of punishment should be there in order to discourage kids from getting into the business in the first place. Thing is, selling drugs is almost like a drug of its own, since easy money gained from preying on people’s weaknesses is hard to turn away, especially once some connections are made.

I personally believe that we should also include medical professionals into the conversation as well. How many people died from the opioid crisis? How many people were held accountable for that? Why are we focusing just on the “street” drug dealers and ignoring the corporate ones?

Nowadays, so many doctors are inept and just functionally act as pill pushers rather than actual doctors. How much suffering and death could be linked to this? Instead of telling people to get their health, diet, lifestyle, or choices in control, they just provide you with an “easy button” with side effects.

arbitrarily

Correct.

decide

They should be able to. For example (((weed))) is in no way "just a natural plant". That claim is like saying you ould be fine ingesting ricin, arcenic, lava etc.

Do you need the government to tell you not to ingest ricin? Do you need the government to tell you not to inject heroin? Are you an alcoholic because the government gives you permission to buy booze?

No, they shouldn’t be able to. The role of a central government is to protect its citizens from outside threats, not to decide what its citizens should be allowed to eat or drink

No. I don't, but others clearly do. As is evidenced by suplex and theodore kent chosing to be dependent on alcohol to the point it damages their life in some significant way (their admittance). As have others. then we have the (((opioid epidemic))) that was targeted at White Americans. Government intervention isn't bad there and should have happened. As it should happen with (((cigarettes))), (((alcohol))) and (((weed))).

Those two things are exactly the same thing if you weren't being dishonest. The government isn't (yet) deciding what you should eat, just what you shouldn't. Don't (((move the goalposts))) as you post to change the context. Your idea that the government has no part in preemptively making extremely dangerous chemicals and jewish forms of ingestible subversion illegal is... well it's jewish.

And yes I fully understand the argument of not wanting a (((big government))). Protecting citizens from judaism is not big government.

No. I don't, but others clearly do.

Wow, you’re right, meth heads totally don’t exist ever since the government said they weren’t allowed to do meth.

Drug laws are nothing more than revenue generation for the state. Doesn’t get much more jewish than that
