Should there be stricter narcotics laws?

Question by : Should there be stricter narcotics laws?
I say yes, because drugs like, lsd, crack, pot, heroin,etc. ruin the american family life and take away the lives of innocent youth when they are in their prime. They also hurt the economy because dealers get their money illegally.

Would it be better if there was stricter penalties for the use, distribution, and possession of narcotics?
There are unheard deaths everyday due to narcotics.

Whether it’s auto or health more people would die if narcotics were legalized.
I think police should beat anyone who uses, distributes, and possesses an illegal substance.

Answer by ThisGuy
No. If anything, they are too strict as it is. Billion’s of tax dollars are wasted keeping people locked up for small time charges. I’d rather you legalize it, regulate it, tax it and get rid of the crime aspect all together.

Question by JP: Applying for Law Enforcement Position: Drugs Narcotics Use Section..?
Im not the most perfect person but have changed my life alot i literaly hate doing bad stuff i went threw fazes yes like i think every other person on this planet . but my question pertains to me applying for a law enforcement position in NC and im prior military. in the Drugs Narcotics used section : i listed i smoked im gunna be honest probably 8 Times in my life time and last time i smoked was in Feb 2007 i was getting laid off and had a bad set of friends who i eventually stoped hanging out with becuause of how much they wanted me to use drugs and other thing ive done is Cocaine i used it back in 1997 or 1998 one time 2 the most my friends father gave me some.
but ok ;
Marijuana used 8 times last time 2007

NonPrescription Medicine: 10 times my ( in the army we get prescibed tylenol and well if you have a head ache yea we get offered 1 or 2 tylenol by a buddy )

those of you police officer recruiters and veterans on the force could you please be honest and tell me if what i have done is bad? would i be a potential hire or non hire?

Best answer:

Answer by J.W.
Policies pertaining to applicants and past drug use vary depending on the department. Some police departments wouldn’t consider you due to your use of cocaine. Some would still consider you since it has been so long since you’ve last used it. Some departments wouldn’t consider you because it has been less than 5 years since you’ve used marijuana. The Tylenol probably won’t be much of an issue. Getting police officer jobs is becoming more and more competitive. There are likely to be other applicants with similar qualifications as you or better qualifications than you that haven’t used illegal drugs, especially cocaine. I would wait a couple more years before you apply. Spend that time improving your resume. Get some college if you don’t have any.

Q&A: in california if you violate the patient physician narcotics law are there any consequences?

Question by go_pali: in california if you violate the patient physician narcotics law are there any consequences?
my friend violated his patient physician narcotics agreement bye having two doctors prescribe medication are there any consequences to this

bye the ways hes not a drug addict and he wasnt doctor shopping
i meant patient physician narcotics agreement

Best answer:

Answer by Kvdp
I’d suggest there might be clinical consequences, if he’s on two different kinds of treatment without coordination between the two. One of the biggest challenges for clinicians is patients self-medicating or mixing up treatments – it makes it much harder to help them.

If your friend isn’t an addict and wasn’t doctor shopping, I can only think he wanted help, and in order to help, the doctor needs all relevant information, including other treatment regimes in place.

If your friend’s doctor is professional, then whatever has happened, his concern will still be to help your friend, providing that does not put the doctor himself at risk. If treatment is still needed, then that is still the most important thing, and most likely the main concern for everybody. So he should go back to the doctor preferred, and explain what has happened if he needs to.

Everyone makes mistakes, but the main thing is continue to get the necessary health advice, learn from the mistake and move on. Hope that’s useful.

If you want a legal answer, sorry, but perhaps someone else can help.

How often do people have to register under California law for sex, arson or narcotics convictions?

Question by John W: How often do people have to register under California law for sex, arson or narcotics convictions?
Do these individuals have to register for life? What is the consequence if they fail to register? Are photos taken each time they register?

Best answer:

Answer by U.S.Veteran
They have to re-register whenever they move, and yes, their photograph is taken by the police dept. where they move to.

They need to register for the rest of their lives unless a judge states otherwise, and if they fail to register and are caught, they go directly to jail.

How do the law enforcement officers who work in narcotics dress?Can they always wear a vest if they want to?

Question by Matin R: How do the law enforcement officers who work in narcotics dress?Can they always wear a vest if they want to?
And which agent of narcotics enforcement has the authority to make arrests?..because I hear that a lot of them just do undercover work only..I really want to get into Police narcotics and I know that I have to first become a regular patrol officer and then work my way up..But I’m not interested in undercover..I just want to have the authority to go after drug dealers and make arrests.

Best answer:

Answer by Robert
Ok, I’m gonna answer this the best I can.

Narcotic officers can arrest people at any time, they can pull you over if they want. Generally they are plain clothed. If they are in “uniform” it’s typically camo with a department t-shirt and they’ll have a badge in sight (typically) and you’ll see their weapon. If they are going to court they’ll usually be in a suit. If they need to be in uniform they’ll be in uniform. They come into my work a lot and they’re typically in camo pants and a t-shirt.

To answer your question you can arrest drug dealers if you are a police officer. You just have to catch them! But you wont be going around making buys and doing investigating really… you just have to catch them with the drugs!

Anyone know the California or federal law regarding storage and access to narcotics in a hospital?

Question by jclockson: Anyone know the California or federal law regarding storage and access to narcotics in a hospital?
I happen to know of a nurse that openly admits she gives the keys to the medication room to unlicensed staff so that they may get ‘other’ items stored in the med-room. I know this is against a few hundred corporate policies, but I need to see if there is a specific law stating that unlicensed staff cannot have unsupervised access to where narcotics are kept.
This is a problem that could potentially cost us our jobs on an upcoming inspection….

Best answer:

Answer by michr
law is not the issue policy is. the nurse is legally responsible for the meds if the nurse gives keys to anyone and something is missing that nurse will be held accountable. report the nurse to the nursing supervisor. this nurse is putting her license at risk as well as her job and could possibly effect the job of others he/she works with. the nurse must inventory and sign for all narcotics under their control at every shift change.
if this nurse did happen to have a “drug problem” and was stealing or failing to properly dispense meds this is an easy way to try and blame someone else. the nurse can now claim she let someone in med room for some other supply and hey stole narcotics. the company would most likely still terminate the nurses employment for failing to follow policy but the nurse just might be able to keep their license.
report the nurse now!!!

Alcoholics Anon, Narcotics anon, they all require a belief in higher power. Do they work for non believers?

Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics anonymous, they all require a belief in higher power or some kind of god. Do they work for non believers, for atheists or agnostics?
Or are those people destined to fail those programs because the programs are designed for believers?

I have asked this question already in cultures. But thought maybe i would get more responses from Religion & Spirituality
Im not going to one of those groups.
Im not a drug user and only drink at parties.
I was asking out of curiousity.
