100% correct.


I heard on the radio news (NPR maybe?) that someone put in a bill to legalize weed in the USA. That would really help in cutting down arrests.

Ever watch Live PD? I haven't seen one arrest for less than an ounce of weed (unless they can't pass a sobriety test). They do get a citation in many cases. I don't think the cops care that much about a little weed any more. They'll bust you hard though for pills, meth, or heroin.

Though I think all drugs should be legal, it would be interesting to see what a fully legalized weed would do to the other black market drugs. I am willing to bet we would see significantly less heroin use (but it would take time).

Heroin increase is from crackdowns on pill mills. I don't think people who smoke weed are substituting heroin for it.

There's a reason interdiction teams sit facing the southbound side of the interstate and not the northbound side.

They don't care about stopping the drugs. They just want the money to buy more toys. A car full of drugs is worthless, a car full of cash buys more tacticool gear and MRAPs.

This, changes to the formula(s), and removal from the market are the main drivers as far as I can tell. I have a long-time friend that I catch up with every now and then who has been a pillhead the entire time I knew him (although I didn't know this the entire time). When the Oxycontin formula was first changed so that they would gel when you crush them up, the black market filled the gap with snortable heroine in rock form. Now that Opana ER is off the market, I guess he and his pillhead friends will be going back to it.

To some degree they are, though I don't know how strong the impact is. Weed tests for 30 days+. When I worked landscape, I worked with parolees. They didn't smoke weed because it'd ruin their piss tests, but they could get away with heroin unless they happened to smoke it the day before they got the call to produce urine.

It's also easier for a police officer to detect weed on your person, which means some margin of the population chooses heroin.

I've got cop buddies and they do get extremely pumped about cash no doubt. They get equally excited if they get a bunch of pills and stuff too. though.

The police say the home owner had a gun when he answered the door.

Guy I know is directly connected to that guy. He messaged me, furious and said the same thing the family friend did. Which was he was a great guy. Wrong house stories are always sad. I had the wrong house happen to me but the world didn't have folks calling cops and ambushing them because of their profession either so it was just a broken door and frame, which they replaced.
