Alright at this point I think we have officially crossed into the policitical realm and should probably just stop.
Indeed, committing fraud and possessing illegal narcotics, if anything, should be glamorized and should certainly be legal. No way does possessing dangerous drugs lead to dangerous behavior. We should just allow addicts to abuse these medications as they see fit, just send them to rehab without any consequences for their illegal actions. If anything, the Doctors should be thrown in jail for prescribing them in the first place.
Umm, no. He committed fraud with that cellphone.
And he's not just "talking to doctors on a cellphone" to get Adderall. That has to be a written Rx. This has forgery written all over it.
You cannot stop substance abuse.
He's already been to rehab, and he is a danger to everyone on the road when he is behind wheel of a lethal weapon. (also known as a car) I'm sure they would select rehab for him, and I'm sure I would point out that Eddie nearly killed someone after being in rehab. At least we can take these people's drivers licenses away, yes?He suffers from addiction. There has been nothing to suggest Sean Sutton harmed anyone other than himself (and possibly his family - I am pretty sure they would select rehab over prosecution).
It's true. I'm wearing my riot gear to class today.

When you set the goal to completely eradicate substance abuse, which isn't even a cogent thought, it's going to fail.The War on Drugs is as big a failure as prohibition. It is time for society to recognize that and try something else.
So, you have backtracked some. Initially, all prosecution for addicts was superfluous. Now, if they are just innocent bystanders simply getting scripts filled by overzealous doctors, they aren't or shouldn't be looked at as breaking the law. So, obviously you think Sean is a criminal since he fraudulently used his cellphone to illegally obtain narcotics. Do you really think they just mean he used his cellphone to have a nice little sunday chat with the doctor and then casually ask for some meds? No. What they mean is he forged scripts. People fraudulently call in their own medicines all the time.Driving while intoxicated is a crime and I did not remotely say it shouldn't be. stealing to support an addiction is a crime and should continue to be a crime. He was not arrested for driving while intoxicated.
Stealing.utton was arrested Thursday night when he arrived to pick up a shipment of painkillers under another person's name
And I'm sure he has never driven while intoxicated. It's too bad we don't just have the DEA do away with controlling these medications (something you would be in favor of, presumably) that way more and more people will have them and get behind the wheel and kill people.He was not arrested for driving while intoxicated.
What does that mean exactly?
Are you the arbiter of what should be legal and not legal? Which drugs of the hundreds of controlled drugs are less harmful than alcohol? By many I think you meant 1 or 2.One is legal because we say it is but many drugs are less harmful than alcohol, yet they are illegal and alcohol is legal.
Why not legalize prostitution see if that works.
Do you really think there is a difference between alcohol and other drugs?
Yeah tell that to the parents of high school kids all across the country who DIE because a friend gave them prescription pain killers at a party. It happens all the time.
Last time I checked when you drink too much you throw up, your heart doesn't stop.
Gottlieb is on with Trabor right now talking about it.
