The “war on drugs” started in 1971.

Since then, tell me when the total amount of overdose deaths went down?

I would argue almost all of the anti-drug initiatives are a total waste of time.

Let me be calloused but I think realistic. Don’t legalize it, it’s destructive and you do not want to be in the business of condoning it. You don’t want to fuel the crisis.

But the focus should be on containment geographically, keep the filth out of neighborhoods that don’t want this and schools etc.

Basically, if someone wants to eliminate themselves from the gene pool, go ahead. I’m going to advise you against it, but I’m not going to waste my time and energy talking you off the edge.

Anti-drug initiatives can work. But the only supply-side measures that have grabbed the drug problem by the throat involve speedy executions. This is Trump’s workaround for our seized-up criminal justice system, where drug dealers aren’t only not killed, they get legal mulligans over and over, including one granted by Trump in recent days, to a former Honduran pol.
