Doctors As Dealers

University of North Florida political scientist Ronald Libby offers a thorough review of the government's entanglement with pain treatment in a new Cato Institute paper. Reason has covered the conflict between drug control and pain control here, here, and here, among other places.

Unless and until we put Rush Limbaugh behind bars--thereby proving our commitment to equal enforcement of these moronic laws--we will never be able to precipitate the necessary changes required for a rational, compassionate, and just drug policy.

Capture and imprison Rush today.

FREE RUSH!

No, please don't put Rush in prison! I have no clue where I'll get my next fix from if you put the main dealer on my block in jail.

"rational, compassionate and just" and "drug policy"? I would ask what are you smoking, but that would be just too easy on this topic.

But I digress - Good Idea, I completely agree with you, where is the equal enforcement? Isn't that part of what calls into question the legitimacy of our nation's drug control policy - the rampant hypocrisy that characterizes the rules and those who enforce them?

How about a policy that deals with the reality of the illegal drug situation in our country?

"How about a policy that deals with the reality of the illegal drug situation in our country?"

What would that be exactly? There are so many possible avenues for reform, and I am curious which ones everybody feels are the most realistic and which ones are not doable but would be ideal.
