In order to facilitate legalized narcotics like Crack and other
illegal substances, a special dispensary will be needed. These pharmacies
for our purposes, in describing what they would need to do, will be called Narc
Pharmacies. Let us begin.
Narc Pharmacy: This type of pharmacy will be the sole
distributer of all illegal highly addictive drugs that are made legal.
This mean opium, cocaine, heroin and their variants and counterparts.
These will all be taxed by States with respect to sales taxes and will
not need a prescription. This will ensure that addicts will have access
to the drugs they need at any given time (so behavior can be monitored
unobstructed) and that States will be able to collect the revenue and taxes to
keep these pharmacies running. However, you must be over the age of 18
with a legal State authorized identification to buy. Those under age 18
will be required to have a special note from a doctor that authorizes them to
buy as it will show they are addicted (we do not need new addicts being created
for obvious reasons, especially children). While allowing the State to
garner revenue from these drugs sales, it will remove the money going to drug
dealers entirely for addicts will now have access to clean needles and none
tainted/contaminated drugs. Most importantly however, this will allow
people to accurately study addiction by bringing it out of the shadows. This
works only if the individual addicts are restricted in where they can use the
drugs, in this case the Narc Pharmacy. In this case there will be a
lounge area, or similar where these individuals may relax and use their drugs
of choice and an emergency room or two to treat anyone who overdoses. As
such, doctors and nurses will be on staff that specialize in treating addicts.
A Narc pharmacy is designed to be a safe
place for these individuals to use drugs and prevent young children from seeing
adults taking the drugs or being compelled to try the drugs by an adult.
Also, the exact amounts distributed to each patient, and the quality of
the drugs can be monitored to ensure that addicts have a reduced risk of
overdose, do not get bad batches or take drugs that negatively impact one
another. In other words, it makes taking addictive drugs as safe as
humanly possible. We literally can identify the most popular drugs,
identify which sex, age, gender and so on prefer which drug, all to better
understand addiction. Once this is done, we can then determine the actual
number of addicted people in an area, and then provide treatments for those who
want them. Remember, we are not operating on the assumption that we
people around addicts can force an addict to go clean. The assumption we
are operating on (based on interviews I have seen that featured alcoholics and
addicts in general) is that these people have to want to get clean, and that
many will need to hit their "bottom" in order for that to be achieved.
So these narc pharmacies can also provide such services for becoming
addiction free as well by helping patients wean themselves off the drugs, or
switch from one drug to the next slowly till they are finally clean. The
narc pharmacy can even provide services if needed for those who want to try
quitting cold turkey. Other drugs that are legal or partially legal like
marijuana, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine and sleeping pills may also be able
to be dispensed as well as they are addictive as well. Psychologists that
specialize in grief and other reasons for people taking up drugs can also be
added for we can operate under the assumption that these people take up these
drugs to cover up some sort of emotional pain, or are seeking a pleasure that
they at the moment can only achieve through drug use.
Conclusion: This idea is based on what is
already being done in Canada and some European countries, with those drugs
being almost 100% legal. By providing this structure we can even reduce
gang related crimes as gangs that sold these drugs will lose almost all their
revenue and thus their reasons for existing. Why have a gang that sells
drugs when you can just go to the narc pharmacy and not risk getting shot,
raped or robbed. This means less crime and people who are addicted will
not see jail time anymore and finally receive real treatments for their
addiction in a stress free environment. So let us bring drug use into the
light so we can see how to really help these people.
