Paradise city, probably for a couple of reasons, it reminds me of some good times I had when I was young, I used to be able to absolutely kill it on karaoke and third I like some of the lyrics. Admittedly I wish I knew what the song was actually about and despite knowing for 2 decades I’ve never looked it up.
Mine is Mr. Brownstone, because I've done opiates and I can relate. It's also a screamingly awesome fucking song, from a musical viewpoint.
Thats a good song, I enjoy it but it. I've never done opiates honestly those scare me, unless you count morphine and that was not a pleasant experience.
I fucking love opiates.
I don't do them anymore, because I like 'em a bit too much. I miss them, to be quite frank. If my quality of life were to decrease, I'd start doing them again - and in massive amounts. I don't care about the legality.
But, I have a pretty fucking awesome life. So, I really don't need opiates to make it better. Besides, when I'm not doing opiates, I feel much more alive.
Obviously, I'm not asking you to agree.
However, here's some logic for you.
Would you say we have a drug problem? The answer is yes. I can get drugs, no problem.
So, legalization isn't actually going to make people say, "Hey, I think I'll go try heroin today." In areas where legalization has been tried, the rates of addiction go does. In areas where the government just gives the shit to you, the rates go down even more.
End the god damned war on drugs and ensure clean manufacture with consistent dosages, clean needles, and practicing safe injection practices. Treat addiction like a disease and not a social problem or criminal act. This works, time and time again.
It's pretty fucking basic. Slam the book on anyone providing these drugs to anyone who hasn't reached the age of majority. Take the crime, and thus the profit that is the black market, right out of it.
Done. Solved as well as it's realistically going to be solved. Humans do drugs and we have evidence of this all the way back to prehistory. You're not going to stop that behavior. Frankly, drugs are pretty fucking awesome. That's why we do them. We wouldn't do them if they weren't awesome.
