I also feel sorry for everyone that is hurt by this, but the WOD is a complete failure. It is a millstone around the necks of law abiding people and an excuse for statist control freaks to militarize the police and steal ever more of our liberties. The solution:

1) Legalize drugs
2) Subsidize 12-step programs
3) Peheat the crematoriums.
4) Give the addicts all the drugs they want.
One way or the other, the problem will take care of itself soon enough.

I do favor legalization of drugs, at the Federal level that is. The DEA must go; the controlled substances act is clearly unconstitutional and these decisions are best left to the states. The states can provide 50 different examples of drug policy, and the people of the states can decide which one or ones are the best. Secondly, the DEA is a weaponized, federal agency that could be used, at least by this regime, to attack political opponents aka domestic terrorists.
The days of conservatives reflexively supporting “law & order” policies are over. The Federal government has used the “war on drugs” to amass power and control the people.

This isn’t an issue about drug addicts. There are vulnerable people who’s life circumstances lead them to drugs. I am no one to judge, and have no doubt our Godless culture is very hard to grow up in.

There but for the grace of God go any of us.

The availability of heroin in the real problem. Why is heroin suddenly flooding American cities? Why isn’t the DEA dealing with this? A decade ago we would constantly hear about major drug busts around the country. Now there is nothing.

The State Department NEVER mentions Venezuela as a major distributor. There are no shipments from Venezuela caught.

Drug legalization is a Soros agenda that has been pushed through because a few of people will make a ton of money.

Because of these policies we now have legalization push for “sick” children etc., THC laced lollipops for kids. Not a good idea.

Realize that there is a battle between good and evil, and our children’s mind are the target for predators. It isn’t just drugs flooding the market, it is the environment and culture that is pushing drug use and enabling the billion $ drug trade.

I don’t think the War on Drugs was a failure, because we now know that there was a war on former President Bush, and policies that promoted abstinence of any form. Our beliefs on the Bush failed drug policies are false. They were pushed by a compromised media, and a billionaire’s who are pushing drugs.

I actually agree with your plan.

Legalize, cheapen, then offer free rehab.

Those that want out, will get out. Those that don’t, will still get out.

Like they say in hospitals: “The bleeding WILL eventually stop.”
