As long as politicians continue to push for decriminalization -- starting with pot -- the message sent is that recreational drug use is OK.
This story and the heroin epidemic in middle America are the inevitable result.
Decriminalization works splendidly well when it is part of a harm reduction policy with small amounts of whatever drug.
Disagree. Decriminalization of pot has led to heroin issues. When the tone is set that it's all OK, people take more steps. Human nature.
Drug use is not as inevitable as lefties insist. But the more accepted it is, the more inevitable it becomes.
