Addiction and rehab are a crazy example how much the US is different then other first world countries. I battled with addiction ten years ago. I'm not from the US. Went to my doctor and got send to the hospital, spent three weeks in detox, a year in rehab and another year in some assisted living program. So over two years treatment in total. Cost me 30 bucks, I think, as a surcharge for the stay in the hospital and that was that. Even got social Security payments the whole time which enabled me to live a fairly regular life besides beeing in those institutions.
Way better solution then getting some cheap heroin copy from a gas station...
If both were legal you could educate people about them way better. Give your fellow men some more credit.
If someone who has been informed about the dangers of a drug decides to take it its neither your business nor mine. If someone wants to go free climbing or drove a motorcycle we don't say anything against that either.
Tanks rolling down the street is a good keyword. What's your militarys take on all this? Are they more likely to defend democracy or are they already mostly lead by magas? How likely is them kicking out the government and taking over?
