Your assertion is factually untrue, unless you include deaths from comorbidities arising from the use of government-approved carcinogens like alcohol and tobacco.

Remember, the war on drugs isn't about protecting you from harmful substances. POSIWID. The purpose of the war on drugs was to silence and oppress Nixon's political enemy, the anti-war movement.

You cite no data, just unsubstantiated ad-hominem attacks against my character. This makes you appear to be engaging in bad faith.

I hope you're at least being paid well for advancing the interests of the US federal government against the interests of innocent people. Regardless of your intentions, that's the effective result of your words.

No, your assertion is factually untrue. You have to reach back to a point where no one living today was in any position to make any kind of policy, and still you bring in a bunch of irrelevant material instead of anything resembling statistics. (Seriously? Hiroshima and Korea? Why not go back to slavery?)

And overdose deaths today have fuckall to do with Korea and fuckall to do with the war on drugs, and barely anything to do with crypto or the post. And yet you put your criminal apologia on this thread, a tangent on a tangent.

Criminal apologia? What criminals am I defending? No victim = no crime. An individual choosing to ingest questionable substances of questionable origin, by their own free choice, only has consequences, not victims.
