As the argument goes, legalize drugs and a lot of our problems would go away. But, I'm wondering if we should outlaw at least one more. Dylann Roof used it. It reportedly lends to aggressive behavior. It reasonably can be suggested to have contributed to his shooting nine people at the church in Charleston.
Ban this drug? Make it illegal? I think we should consider that. From what I do know at this point, I'd recommend it. Suboxone is used to treat opiate addiction. But, in and of its self, Suboxone is dangerous.
Yes, we should consider the benefits, and consider whether there are adequate alternative drugs should we shut down the legal use of this one. But if it has been a factor in even just this one mass shooting, how responsible are we to not ban it?
I wonder. Perhaps there is reason to keep it legal. But, then again, perhaps we should be marching in the streets, protesting, mad that such a drug is still legal after what has happened. The church shootings took down a Confederate flag. Perhaps they should take down a drug, as well.
