When I first saw these vids I thought: "This is some kind of new zombie movie, but the director got carried away, he's overdone it, the characters need to tone it down, they're over acting" haha.

Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, Fentanyl, etc
all those are in rap music and the glorification of selling them

While there is no definition of hard or soft drugs I consider mind altering drugs such as LSD, Ketamine, ecstacy/mdma, pcp ect as hard drugs.

Ya those too... definitely hard drugs.

I'm sure you're right about the glorification but I'm a little older and it was just weed...malted hops and Hennessy when they made music.

Times changed for the worse it seems.

Since this is debate forum: do we want more regulation to prevent distribution, or live and let live freedom?

Very difficult for me to address. The libertarians like freedom BUT... when these people start costing
the general taxpayer, a line has to be drawn on that activity. It is a very tough issue.

You have some people, as an example, who many times get free narcan but it costs $139 to the taxpayer
and the police and firefighters have to tend to these people.

Your video obviously does not address this. Rich people who want to buy $1billion stadiums cost way more money to tax payers than these folks.

Those two things are linked, as you know. We can't stop all crime, and don't have unlimited resources.

- traffic cams to enforce running red lights and speeding?
- more IRS to enforce tax laws?
- more drug dogs?

Earl brought up that narcan costs $139 to taxpayers.

drug dogs, more police units, cameras, enforcement, is much much more expensive.

The only one with a good ROI for taxpayers is IRS agents. So of course the fiscally responsible party is against it
