Allegedly.

Speedballing on both meth and Fentanyl? I'd like to know how much. Left over from last week or the last hour?

We could wonder whether he actually had the drugs on him or not as police like to plant things. Let's assume they are true. So fucking what? I used to do drugs responsibly and had a fuck tonne of fun. You can cross 3 of those out as "crimes" because of the ridiculous drug war.

The violence is much more concerning.

You don't know what his intentions were with his car. Maybe he was going to it to get more drugs - or to drop them off - or something completely different. Maybe he intended to drive or maybe not - but without knowing the amount and his intentions it's moot.

" and possibly kill your kid. "

Manufactured divisive racist fear porn bullshit.

Pretty much this. Drug prohibition is unamerican. If anything having to deal with those charges should earn him some sympathy.

And the claim that he is about to hit your kids is emotional manipulation bullshit.

Drugs rob you of your free will. They force you to stop doing what you love, and instead focus your life on obtaining more drugs. Nothing could be less American.

Weed is one thing, but jeez. There are some very dangerous drugs out there which were better off left undiscovered.

" Drugs rob you of your free will. They force you to stop doing what you love, and instead focus your life on obtaining more drugs. Nothing could be less American. "

That's not true.

Psychoactive drugs change your state of mind and perceptions. Not all bad. Chasing the good can be addictive and THEN if people can't control themselves then you have a problem. Most people aren't addictive. Further, Dr. Gabor Maté says that addictive people are running from something else and if they can address that then they can deal with the addiction.

Further evidence is Portugal where all drugs are decriminalized - and countless other nations where the "drug problem" is not remotely as severe as in the USA. There are MANY factors at play in the US - from Big Pharma to Cocaine Import Agency to Military Industrial Complex guarding poppy fields to Prison Industrial Complex to the socioeconomic and poverty pressures.

" There are some very dangerous drugs out there which were better off left undiscovered. "

Very true. So dangerous you might think they were weaponized.
