B.C. eyes how to cut court system costs | Vancouver 24 hrs

B.C. eyes how to cut court system costs | Vancouver 24 hrsBC eyes how to cut court costs/Van24hrs.The single thing that BC has never tried is to drop drug prohibition.Of all inmates in the old BC pen,back in the 70's 80's and 90's,over 70% were there on directly related drug crimes.Of the other 30%,many would never have committed the crime had they not been high on drugs or alcohol.The WC crime in BC has always gotten a pass from governments.They spend all their time and budgets chasing the poor and the addicted while our stock market is infamous all over the world for fraud,ponzi schemes and for fraudsters who are always two steps ahead of the law.The Harper tories use cases like the hockey coach pedophile to slash pension reform and cost many elderly ex inmates thousands when their NEW legislation closed down all those fly by night pardon outfits.Perhaps Mr.Harper will refund my 1500 dollars I took from an OAP and lost when all phone numbers I was given were cancelled.Prohibition and laws against any use of some drugs is the root of most of the cases backing up our courts.Harper has wasted millions fighting the few reforms people are trying to put in place.Please remember on Oct19 that my birthday is Oct 20.All I want for a present for my 67th is an end to Stephen Harper.Just add up the millions Harper spent on anti cannabis,anti injection sites and needle exchanges,all things the majority of Canadians said they were in favor of.Harper?He said he didn't care how much money he spent fighting harm reduction measures?Perhaps we've found one cause of why the courts are so overloaded and overworked.

$5M in fentanyl, cocaine and meth seized in massive bust | CTV Vancouver News

$5M in fentanyl, cocaine and meth seized in massive bust | CTV Vancouver News
People should note that there is no mention of heroin in the story of this massive drug bust?That's because the drug Fentanyl is being sold in Vancouver as heroin and the local addicts don't seem to be able to tell?I have been the recipient of Fentanyl on several occasions,in spite of demanding that the person not pick up if Fentanyl was being sold.It seems that in spite of Fentanyl being a substitute that does nothing to increase the production of dopamine and therefore does not create the euphoria associated with the opiate high.Vancouver's addicts don't seem to care as long as it makes the sickness go away.People have often spoken long and often of how once a person is addicted they get nothing but straight from heroin.I thought this as well,until the advent of Fentanyl.It was first used as a booster in poor quality heroin and as such was quite effective.Then the gang bangers discovered that the addicts here were too dumb to realise that all they were buying was Fentanyl.Why risk importing heroin when they can churn out Fentanyl in a local lab and get the same profit with none of the risk?It might seem a win in the war on drugs that heroin was virtually gone from Vancouver's drug scene.That might be true if Fentanyl wasn't every bit as addictive and far more dangerous.It's said to be 50 times stronger than heroin.Add to that that there is no increased dopamine production and you have a seriously bad situation.People will die on Fentanyl.Being made in clandestine labs assures the quality is going to vary wildly.Addicts unfamiliar with the local situation will probably try to fix again and again trying to get the desired euphoria?I saw this when there was crystal methadone on the street.People fixing as usual,unaware of the duration of the drug being far longer.While all this is going on,the methadone that is people's only viable alternative has been adulterated with an antagonist and something which causes inflamation.The drug company,which advertizes that they will tell you what's added on request is now denying they added anything at all?Not only have they taken the step of causing harm to prevent injection.They are denying they did so.This is the kind of abuse that addicts have been subjected to in BC.Addicts that don't qualify for the maintenance program that serves a mere 129 people?

Proposal

Train certain doctors in each state to specialize in opiates.Currently,no doctors are informed on any drugs.They get all information from reps from big pharma.The standard GP is even more ignorant,in most cases than doctors in hospitals.It's amazing more people don't OD on pharmaceuticals.This is unnecessary and is not only killing people by OD.It is making patients with real,severe chronic pain go through all kinds of hoops and hell from uninformed and ideological medical personnel.Some who mean while and others who are just plain ideologues.A person with diabetes and a person with addiction are no different as long as they remain medicated.There are millions of Americans that take anti depressants daily.Drugs that are not only messing with the brain and the rest of our body symptoms.But that have horrible side effects that include death?Opium is a natural product,like cannabis.It has additional products that simply increase the potency.Opiates are benign to all bodily functions.The harm is caused by either poisoning of the crop in the field by rogue agencies like DEA and the military.Or in cut added after the street takes hold and cuts the drug for profit .Drugs have been around for millennia.It's only in the last 100 years,mostly due to policies put forward by racists with an agenda,that they have been prohibited.I think that no one will argue that there has been one positive from the 40 year drug war.It was the biggest ad campaign in history and it not only pushed out the addict dealers.It brought into being the most wealthy,connected,violent and ruthless gangs and cartels in the world.These people are the very worst of every aspect of prohibition.They care nothing for quality,safety,and care about nothing but their bottom line.This is why the drug war is looking worse than ever.It is worse than ever.It will continue to draw the most evil,psychopathic people in the source countries.They will hire only those they can control completely.Other's as violent as they are.All this can end tomorrow.It's congress and the senate that are supporting the drug war and supporting the cartels.The American people in ever bigger majorities are fed up with what they know is a failed and super wasteful commercial for drug abuse.The private prisons and the police will back the drug war forever because it pays them so well.Doctors could be trained in 6 months.If necessary they could hire an addict legally on opiates to guide them through the first year or two.Prescription drugs are taking too many lives.The drug companies response was to add things to the drugs that make them less useful,less pleasant and uninjectable.This only screws up the real patients.The addicts will just go to street drugs.As a pain patient,I have had even methadone altered in this way.This is insanity.IT IS DRIVING PEOPLE BACK TO THE STREET IN NUMBERS.

Drug-busting authorities “lied” about Tor weakness, devs claim — Tech News and Analysis

Drug-busting authorities “lied” about Tor weakness, devs claim — Tech News and Analysis  Here we see how desperate the anti drug nazis are and how ,in the end.The only way police ever make any arrests is when someone makes a mistake and then takes down as many "friends" as they have to to survive.By survive I do mean slither out from under by throwing others under the bus.As a person with more bus tire tracks on his back than most.I can say without a doubt that I was never arrested by good,solid police work.Unless you think squeezing a coward for names to bury in their place is police work.The police think it is.Tor wasn't defeated.It is as safe today as it ever was.The anti drug nazis simply did what they always do.They made a creep sell out as many people as he had to to get the narcs off his case.He will probably spend the remainder of his miserable life making anti drug videos and trying to sell his miserable story to hollywood.I was very sorry to hear of the demise of silk road 2.That was until I learned the facts about what happened.If you have any plans to create a world wide drug network to service a market that is so miserably under served,by all means do so.Just don't do it in America,where the government can threaten to take away your entire life and mean it.Don't do it in some backwater that has even harsher penalties for selling a marketable product that a lot of people want.Go to a country with sane drug policies and where they cannot make the kind of threats that you can't handle.You may end up doing a little time.But only if you make a mistake and expose yourself.Most countries aren't as psychotic as some others.In civilized countries,if you are savvy enough to use the net to get what you want,they won't spend millions to try to get to you.In countries like the USA,where prohibition was born,it's a religion.An ideology.It's a poison and a blight on free thinking people.I was an attendant at the Vienna drug convention held in Vancouver,BC.Day one was a collusion of US drug fanatics along with the very few others that are hysterical on the drug situation.Day two was the rest of the world telling those fanatics that he world will be better off with their demise.The eventual final conference in Vienna was a confirmation that the drug war was a mistake and a tragedy.That it's entire approach was flawed and a monumental failure.Ever since that conference we have seen the forces of prohibition doubling down on their policies.While in some countries,most notably Portugal,the pursuit of drug addicts and users has ended forever.They have been witness to a lowering of usage and of increases in addiction that once seemed unstoppable.It seems that drugs,like all vices,are best left to those that are fond of them.The spread of these vices due to the commercialization of their use is a far greater problem than the substances themselves.That commercialization is increased by the prohibition and the following increase in their value.The more the police spend on cracking down,the greater the problems that arise.The more violence used in trying to intercede the more violent the criminals that traffic.The internet has to be the best possible way to connect the people in source countries,mostly poverty stricken places,with the customers.It's the best way to put the dollars in the hands of the people that need it the most.It would eliminate the need for policing and it would strip the criminal element of billions in income.Of course that's the last thing those in power want.They want their systems to continue to spread misery,poverty and addiction on their rules.The lest positive and most punitive method ever devised.That's the system we live under right now.It's the worst possible way of dealing with what has always been a minor irritant.Up until the current prohibition,which has caused everything to degrade into the lowest possible denominator.Our current drug laws.
