The most permanent cure for opiate and other drug abuse is to eliminate the market, the producer and the seller.
Could be easily done with a mandatory death sentence for users, growers and pushers.
Now I know this will never happen. And anything realistic that will stop drug trafficking will never happen as illegal drugs are just as much a part of the American fabric as alcohol and tobacco.
A big problem in the opiate addiction is the distribution of black tar heroin by dealers from Mexico. It is far more potent than the cartel’s brown heroin, and some say it is the most addictive drug. The dealers are targeting school children and vulnerable and making home deliveries. Ohio has been hard hit by black tar heroin dealers.
Its for the chilren. If we can save one victim its all worth it.
The most “free” cure for drug abuse is to allow drug abusers to suffer the natural consequences of their actions. I mean “free” in terms of liberty as well as money.
Instead of worrying about what substances others are using and preventing them from using them, you should be focusing your efforts into making sure their drug use does not affect YOU.
The modern day laws against theft are based on Judeo Christian philosophy and specifically the 8th commandment. The modern day laws against drug use are based on the 19th century Marxist philosophy and specifically the idea that society has a responsibility to mitigating the natural negative consequences of the bad choices that the people make.
