Why not shame...

[ironglow]

  We have seen tobacco use has cut down over the last 20-30 years.  Much due to the realization of it's health effects, but also (I think) due to
   smokers being treated like pariahs.

  Why should not this work with the drug problem?  If advertisments, such as those run against smokers, were again propagated over
   the popular media..I think it would have some effect, and no matter how small are saved from it's clutches..is a great victory.

  I can still recall those commercials that showed and egg..then a fried egg..saying "this is your btrain"..then, "this is your brain on drugs"..

  THere was another radio ad that simply said.."why do you think they call it DOPE ?"  I thought they were effective, but they were discontinued.

  Shouldn't cost much to be presented as a "public service"..

I like the one where the cops are tackling a guy and the caption says “ nobody says they want to grow up to be a drug addict “

How about one saying: "Take drugs and help clean up the gene pool!"

  This is exactly what I mean guys! While I can feel sorry for those already hooked, ridiculing the user to a position of the village idiot, may justy keep
   some young folks thinking of  trying some dope...may just keep the,m from doing so.  In that case, it would be worth it !

  Perhaps if they showed the teeth of  aregular meth user, along with their scabby face..it may convince some.

  Perhaps some personal testimonies of some folks who went from a sports or theatrical star, only to lose their wife, kids job and respect  ?

  Whosoever we can keep from that pit, will be well worth it.

   The countries which harbor the cartels, rotten as they are,do have one trivialpoint, in that drugs are not being forced upon people...they gladly
     buy them..

  With any product, it is a matyter of.... supply vs demand !  We as a country should be doing just such a campaign, by  doing our best
    to cut the demand side..

I'm thinking a conviction for manufacture and distribution of illicit drugs should carry a death penalty.

I worked on a framing crew with a guy who lost his house, wife and everything he owned along with his dignity in florida. At the very least he would work to support his drug habit. Could not depend on him to show up on Monday’s until his bag of crack ran dry. I sometimes wonder if he’s still alive.
    Many construction workers are addicts but definitely not all…

  Wouldn't want the CDC to lie about something like that so they could keep the gravy train rolling along now would we??

So, overdose during bidet was higher then when Trump was in and dropped a bit to a still higher amount then at any time Trump was in office. Good grief, talk about subterfuge.

  Mule...you are a bit to observant and analytical..  You were not supposed to notice how the spike occurred during the Sleepy Joe years..

  You were only supposed to see the slight decline toward the end of the Biden regime...as it became obvious that MAGA may regain the Whitehouse.

[Lizard of Oz]

Can’t comprehend science and can’t read graphs, what a surprise! The Department of Education has surely failed you two! Maybe we should get rid of it.
Anyhow, back on track I took the liberty of highlighting the Trump years on the graph so you can truly be observant and analytical. Have at it bros!

Trump was out in 2021 maroon…

Trump was out in 2021 maroon…

Probably explains why the highlighted area ends at 2021.

The highlighted area should end at 2020, which would be the end of 2020, not the end of 2021.  But, of course you already know that.

“Come on man, you know, the thing” it’s Trumps fault that China is intentionally killing Americans with fentanyl…

  The OP asked, "Why not shame"?  I don't know if that was one of his tools, but somehow Trump kept all his kids from zoning out on drugs.

  They were excellent candidates for drugs...rich, well connected, much travel, luxurious living..but somehow he kept the straight !

   How did Joe do with his kids ?

Are you talking about the sex addict, drug addicted daughter he took showers with? Actually I forget where I read that.

  Perhaps from her journal ?  Even Dumacrats' propaganda publication, MSN had to admit the truth, after Ashley admitted it under oath.. !

  I suppose any little girl, when forced to shower with her father..may turn to something to numb such memories..
