Allowing local governments to profit off drugs?

Local governments regularly express the need for increased sources of revenue. I have a suggestion to raise revenue — allow local police departments to sell heroin to addicts.๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿ’‰

Heroin is an addictive substance, which would mean it’s a dependable source of revenue. ๐Ÿ’ฐChemical addiction means that addicts will keep coming back to the local police department with large amounts of cash, and transactions can occur.๐Ÿ’ธ Existing police facilities can be used, so the cost of staffing such dispensaries would be low cost.๐Ÿšจ

Some people saying that the government shouldn’t be feeding the addictions of drug users. Most local governments would disagree.๐Ÿฏ They would note that 3% of all gross revenue from heroin sales is being put away to fund the needs of addicts to get treatment, should they have an addiction problem with heroin๐Ÿšฌ. In contrast, the sales of heroin is only intended for recreational users, NOT addicts, and those suffering from temporary pain.

Government is increasingly addicted to increased revenue so selling hard drugs like every other addict makes a lot of sense. ๐ŸšงSure it’s a deprived activity for government to exploit addicted individuals but it’s no different than government schemes to encourage commercial development of wild spaces to increase revenue. ๐Ÿธ

Save money, time: Grow gardens, not grass – Farm and Dairy

This summer, if you’d like to save some money (and blood, sweat and tears), convert a portion of your grassy backyard to native vegetation.

Maintaining turf is expensive, unhealthy and, to many people, boring. With less grass to mow, you’ll save time and money.

American homeowners spend more than $30 billion per year on lawn care. That works out to about $500 per home.

Well, I’m On Vacation

I thought about putting a clean shirt and cleaning the mud and manure off my boots before going to the library to check on the Internet but decided I’m on vacation.
