Shroomery Party Primary Election Reboot:Debate Edition 1
#22135453 - 08/24/15 01:14 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

Ok, so the hurt in my butt has eased, and I have decided to reboot the election. You can find the Official Campaign Thread here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22078947
You can find the Official Opinion Poll Thread here: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22090950
This thread is for the candidates to debate the issues. I will pose questions, and hopefully the candidates will answer them.
First question: Drug Policy reform is a hot button issue, particularly on this forum. We all know that the POTUS cannot unilaterally alter legislation, BUT, if you were given dictatorial power (think Caesar) how would you alter U.S. Drug Policy?

I would begin by working on poverty (example: giving every homeless person an abandoned house, making it legal to grow organic produce on city property, excusing all existing debt, etc.)
I would then make all drugs legal. Less poverty = less harder drug use
Any addicts (example: heroin) would be given a regulated dose with clean equipment of their habit to take the edge off and would be treated as patients in need of help rather than criminals.
EDIT: I don't think I'm a candidate of what you're talking about...but there is my answer lol

Heh. I like your spirit but somehow I feel like eradicating poverty wouldn't be so simple.

be that as it may, lets wait for questions about poverty before we break off onto that tangent.

Okay, I understand. To be fair though, that was part of my answer about drugs

I would go the route of Portugal and legalize everything while putting the "War on Drugs" money into rehab and health centers for people with actual addictions. Attendance would not be compulsory unless an individual committed a crime against another person while under the influence OR for the purpose of obtaining money or substances for their habit. I think most people who use any substance are capable of moderation and leading fully functional lives so people could attend if they feel they've become dependent or are self-medicating for mental health reasons.
I'd also invest more money into mental health care facilities to provide sliding scale or even subsidized care for citizens. I think there are many cases where individuals are abusing substances to deal with emotional issues. Sure, smoke weed, but here's a therapist to help talk the shit and a psychiatrist in case something a little stronger is needed.

And their brains are releasing adrenaline, dopamine, even dimethyltryptamine from the pineal gland! This has serious educational value!

Decriminalize everything.
Spend the money you save from incarceration and invest it in rehabilitation.

Ok, so here's where it gets tricky, with 2 questions, there may be some confusion as to which the candidates are answering. Candidates, if there seems any ambiguity, please reference the question you are discussing. thank you.
Question two: Candidates, How do you feel about current levels of spending on the U.S. Military? Would you increase, decrease, or hold steady those spending levels?

No choice but to increase.
Russia tripled its budget, China is adding billions to it every year.
Iran are North Korea are getting nukes.
You can't fuck with that. If you don't keep up with the new military technology, someone else will...
Never ending pissing contest.

Hold steady. We are all the world has and peace can only be had through strength. They didn't call it the pax Americana for nothing. I would like to see the feckless Euro cunts get more involved and there would be some real discussions there, especially with the Skandi freeloadeers.
