Outside is a full scale military operation in several countries around the world, there’s no slowing down the flow of drugs into America. The deal was sealed when Purdue Pharmaco and the Sackler family was given the nod by the US government. There’s simply no putting this genie back on the bottle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America is the largest consumer of illegal drugs in the world. But to say there is no slowing it down is just ridiculous. You just dont like the answers and agendas to be able slow it down. It will always be a issue tho. Esp with Big Pharma. And now with the Jabs you love they are even more powerful. 7 minutes ago, Mainecat said: Just legalize all drugs.

Too many options for traffickers It can be done but it would be a massive undertaking that would require the US military including strikes thru Mexico and Central America. Never going to stop it all but it could be brought down to a trickle. A lot of money would need to be spent on methods to search incoming cargo as well.

Are you typically this dishonest with yourself? Pharmaceutical companies and their lobbying groups gave roughly $1.6 million to lawmakers during the first six months of 2021, with Republicans accepting $785,000 and Democrats $776,200, the Pharma Cash to Congress database shows. Since the 2008 cycle, the industry has generally favored Republicans. The exception was 2009-10, the last time Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress and the White House.
