We have to get rid of the Rinos and the Democrat party has really totally left the American people. We can do much better I want a president that's going to stand by the American people and not the deep state. I am now an independent and will support a conservative president that will work for all Americans and make this country Strong .
So why did you gush over Trump? That guy is the opposite of everything you claim to be.

Not hypocrisy. Nicotine is an addiction just like heroin and opiods. And it should be included in that category. If you go after one drug then you need to after all. Even Sudafed is limited on how much you can get which is ridiculous. How many of us have meth labs. My point was, I don't want government involved in social issues. They will always be in control of what they deem addictive. So yes, you have to add nicotine to the list.

Alcohol and caffeine are drugs. Are you wanting those banned also?

Not up to me. It's up to government to decide. I'm just saying put nicotine in the same category as opiods because it's just as highly an addiction.

I was a very solid Democrat, liberal, and supporter of the Obama years.

Then I realize I had been duped with hope and change.

I won't make that mistake again.

Accountability isn't popular.

So when do you plan to pay off the student loans for everyone else?

In all likelihood, the tobacco industry 'lobbied/ paid off' the right people in the right amounts years ago, (to ensure tobacco is NEVER restricted too harshly)...that is the only explanation really.


When it comes to Opioids, the Pharma industry probably didnt make a large enough offer, to keep their deadly products easily accessible, or they thought they were more powerful than the Govt. (the Govt showed them though! They lost BILLIONS as a result of restricting opioid drugs. I would imagine they are kicking themselves for not forking over the bribe/lobby money today. (opioid drugs were a HUGE cash cow to Pharma, easy and cheap to manufacture and people get addicted very quickly...that is an ace in the hole for Pharma guys! (keeps the patient coming back for more).


It would be interesting though, to ask or message the DEA, why they refuse to schedule tobacco/nicotine, this is technically their duty, to keep citizens safe from harmful deadly drugs and substances, (they seem to aggressively restrict OTHER deadly drugs...WHY not nicotine/tobacco?) I would love to listen to them try to justify this without admitting guilt and corruption at the highest levels...its real simple...they were 'paid' to look the other way with tobacco, that is how corruption works.

How would they prevent him from registering as a Democrat? Follow up question: Would he prefer the party that tried to destroy our democracy, beat up 130 cops and smeared crap on the walls of our Capitol?

Nobody said it was up to you, but you’re picking and choosing what drugs you want banned, and nicotine is no way as addicting as opioids.
