Looks like the US is going to have a huge doctor shortage in the very near future then...

Since the biggest drug peddlers are the doctors that get kickbacks from pharma companies.

The Supreme Court has shot down the death penalty for rape (1977) and child rape (2008). The general trend, and some of the "dicta" (non-binding language that indicates the direction of the Court's philosophy) is that the death penalty for anything other than premeditated murder is unConstitutional.

That, of course, will never stop Trumputin's tweetstorms.
Time to elect better judges.

My first thought as well. I have to check if any of my investments include Big Pharma.

The only answer to the drug problem is decriminalization of all.

IN Portugal etc where it was done 10 years ago, the drug problem, and associated crimes & prostitution have dropped by more than 50% along with police, legal, and jail costs.

This will never happen on this continent. Toomuch money being made by lawyers, expanding police debts and jails.

Drugs in America is a problem, there just isn,t enough of them. hashahasjhahajhajhas

Like his other ideas, it's based on zero evidence and won't work.

Zero evidence seems to work on you with great regularity.
Just surrender the point punk
are you for real?

Well the thing is to start with the ILLEGAL STUFF FIRST CLIFFY, which it appears is OK by you.

You're expecting Trump to actually make a coherent statement. That's not going to happen.

You wouldn't recognize it if it did. You never had before.

You hate that he has black employment at record levels because YOU actually HATE THEM ( they are just political cannon balls to you leftii) and wish they were ALL aborted ( You have it at better then half the black pregnancies in New York at least, right?).

Democrats and liebarrels, the parties of slavery.

I found his statement to be quite coherent! He's going to crack down on the illegal trafficking of street drugs. I didn't hear anything about executing pharmacists. That's how ugly rumours get started!

No it is true in Canada although possibly to a lesser extent. Don't expect the medical association to admit it. Most prevalent is the over prescribing of anti depressants and pain killers.

Would you decriminalize the stealing that goes along with it as well? :lol:

That almost takes care of itself when drugs are legal. The other part is mandatory treatment for addicts. DRugs are more or less free but you have to go to rehab to get them. Pretty much kills the black market and most of the crime that goes with it.

What should be done for people who are trying to live with excruciating pain? I know, speaking for myself I find it very difficult to sit by and watch a person suffer and while mental suffering might not be quite so obvious I wouldn't think of pretending for a minute that it's any more bearable.

Cannabis is a safe pain killer and is non addictive. Psilocybin is known to rewire the brain and help with PTSD, depression and many other mental health problems. There are many natural remedies that are not addictive and destructive. But Big Pharma invaded Afghanistan to reestablish the poppy industry that the Taliban had put a stop to. They have invested too much money into making opioids and don't care about the human cost of doing business.

What do the professional medics have to say about this? You talk about non addictive! Everyone is addicted to certain things and everyone is a little different in that matter. I think you might be going out on a limb to think that cannabis is for everyone. It's already been established that it's detrimental to young people. I'm in full agreement in prescribing it to everyone it works for
but that doesn't mean EVERYONE.

Is there some mutant gene on the loose that makes Trumpites blind in both eyes? Do your own research. As for foil hats, Trumpites are the ones wearing them and they hang down over their eyes. I gave you three examples and you still refuse to see. Go see your optometrist.

I did, all I found was info saying "claims", "alleged", "investigations which found no evidence of any conspiracy","unproven sources"...on and on.

As I said, show some examples based on solid evidence or at least provide a credible link if you don't want to be taken as any more of a joke than you already are.

How about executing users? As I said a completely coherent statement is beyond him.
