This guy is talking from experience of dealing with people from all walks of life and taking a step back from the blue line to think about how can we really help each other and society as a whole. I think that’s what you both have in common, going through the meat grinder from opposites end of the spectrum and both coming to the same conclusion.

Then half (1/2 ounce), an Oz (1 ounce), Quarter K or '9 bar' (1/4 Kilogram = 9 Ounce), Half K (1/2 Kilogram = 18 Ounce) & 'A K' or 1 K (1 Kilogram = 36 Ounce).

@FEWGEE1 4 года назад

County lines is the best example of how drug dealing has evolved into something far more brutal over time. The town I live in, all of the dealers used to be local addicts. There are no longer any local addicts that sell drugs, (heroin and crack) unless they're doing the leg work for a county lines gang. For which they're paid less than half of the minimum wage.

@notsosecretsnacker5218 3 года назад

Why profit and followers of Jacob Joseph Frank... Why drug reform is so slow is that there are 'elements' out there that don't want to be exposed from the 'healing' of drug users exposing the crimes done to them growing up...

@katiekane5247 4 года назад

@@GThu1 it's long been obvious to me that the idea of "harm reduction" as the basis of the drug wars in the US is ludicrous. Cannabis has zero recorded deaths yet lives are ruined & families torn apart over prosecution. I also think that much of the meth use here is self medicating ADHD, it's how I started. It's also the fastest way to combat depression. Not that I don't see the harm in it, I do but once I could obtain prescribed amphetamines, my desire for meth was gone. Many folks I know have turned to heroin after being cut off of needed pain meds. I'd like to see the U.S. try the methods used in Portugal, treating drug abuse as a medical, not a criminal problem. I'm an old hippy for Bernie, his plan to deschedule cannabis & expunge the records of those arrested is huge. Healthcare for everyone is sorely needed here. I've been clean longer than I was an addict now but my body has really suffered from working sick & dirty meth..
