[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3232493, member: 5412"] HAHAHAH!! 200 candidate Andrew Young want to legalize opioids and Fentanyl for social use. No restrictions. Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang put forward his plan to decriminalize opioids, including heroin and fentanyl, during [URL='https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/marianne-williamson-town-hall/h_c8d6148ae9bda28bb51f456b32d5ca7e']a CNN town hall Sunday night[/URL]. Yang, a startup veteran and founder of the nonprofit [URL='https://ventureforamerica.org/']Venture for America[/URL] who has never run for elected office before, had already added a “[URL='https://www.yang2020.com/policies/decriminalizeopioids/']decriminalize opioids[/URL]” plank to the list of nearly 100 enumerated policy stances on his campaign website.
