If the drug abusers would just stop or go away there would be no market, drug lords, killings and far less unstable countries that the self medicating crowd finances.

True - but drug users going away is a utopian fantasy like those beloved of the left. There is a realistically do-able way to take drug profits away from criminals - the same way we took alcohol profits away from criminals: legalization.

Than on the heads of the recreational drug users belong all the deaths, torture, mutilations and unstable countries that drug lords have caused because of recreational drug users.

.....the same way we took alcohol profits away from criminals: legalization.

Last time I checked alcohol profits were in the tens of billions thanks to legalization.

But that’s your libertardian answer to every problem. Just legalize the stuff and no more worries.

It's a reality for the left. Mao Tse Tung executed anyone caught with drugs when he came to power. He didn't want that crap destabilizing the country in the manner that had previously brought him into power.

Singapore routinely executes anyone caught with drugs, and this policy has worked out pretty well for them.

There is a realistically do-able way to take drug profits away from criminals - the same way we took alcohol profits away from criminals: legalization.

We did not take profits away from criminals, we made them respectable.
