The War on Drugs is indeed a failure.
But in the alternative, what would you suggest?
Decriminalizing/legalizing drugs is not a good plan. It will lead to more mayhem in the streets and absolute “no-go” zones. It will look like those silly “futureistic” movies like “Freejack”
There was a time when drugs were legal in the US, a hundred years ago. Didn’t lead to chaos at all.
That's what happened when alcohol prohibition ended.
Everything was peaceful when Prohibition was in effect. All Hell broke loose when it was repealed.
The real problem the WOD has created is that there is so much money in contraband that the cartels are better funded and better armed than the governments they are under.
And it won't be that much longer before that is true here as well.
What's your solution to that? More of the same stuff we've been doing since the Anslinger Narcotics Act of 1937? Only a lot more?
I hear you.
I was going to Best Buy the other day, but realized that some beer bootleggers were hold up on Route 10. I had to go around the whole county to avoid them and their violence.
And don't let me get started on the Lettuce Cartel. They want to sell a plant that grows naturally, and have held my son in his apartment as a hostage for weeks. All because he wants to make a salad.
Will the violence NEVER end?????????
We have those areas NOW in every major city.
