2. Drug Law Changes
All drugs will be completely legal. However, they will be treated much the same as alcohol and tobacco, which makes sense since these two are drugs themselves. Of course there would be age limitations too.
The new FDA
would, of course, be responsible for all drug issues as specified in Section 3.
Reorganize executive departments. The key component to this drive is to make
the individual take responsibility for himself/herself. This would be
implemented in much the same way as the current methods of controlling purchase
of medicines like pseudoephedrine and ephedrines where the individual must
present a valid government issued ID, and then sign a statement. In this new
paradigm, however, the statement would essentially say that the person releases
everybody of any liability for any ill affects they might experience as a
result of using the drug. A good example of this would be if a person bought
some heroin from the local package store, went home and killed himself with an
overdose there would be no recourse for the survivors of the deceased. It would
also, most likely be considered an accident so any accidental death and
dismemberment insurance would pay.
Also, when there is no prescription from a physician the cost would be higher and that addition would go into a system not-unlike Medicare, where the cost of the individual’s cleanup (even in death, they always leave a mess) is covered or a rehabilitation stay.
