The war on drugs is a waste of both time and money.

My personal feelings are as follows. I believe the government should hand out as many / much 100% pure hardcore drugs as they can get their hands on.....for free, no charge.....just give 'em away like Happy Meals, to anyone over the age of 18. Let the drug users brains turn to mush and their hearts explode. You'll see a 90% drop in the crime and homicide rate, we can offer the cops who would now be piling up at the Dunkin' Donuts / Crispy Creme shops across the land a nice cash bonus and a 2% cut in intrest rates on new homes, to relocate to any border state and train them to be Border Patrol officers. As far as "drug education" goes.....start early....let the 1st and 2nd graders see the crack heads and heroin addics floppin' around the sidewalks like fish. Tell 'em this is what losers look like........kinda a "tough love approach" to the problem, but I'm sure the site of some idiot crapping his pants and choking on his vomit, with his eyes rolled back in his / her head like a great white shark will leave a lasting impression on the shorties.

You can't help someone unless they want to be helped. In my brothers case, in his opinion, he's doin' just fine.....it's the rest of the world that's "effed" up.

Go figure.

I wish I were President, you'd see some stuff get done around here :)

You hit the nail right on the head! I said this same thing the other day to someone else. I know this will work because it worked on me when I was a youngin' and I seen my first skid row bum. I've associated alcohol with skid row every since.

I think this is also why heroin use in the Netherlands is very low and the age of the heroin user always rises in that country. Young people see them and decide "I don't want to be like that".

It sounds like you are more concerned with the negative effects drugs have on people rather than having some emotional obsession with the idea that people may be doing something you don't personally approve of. Good for you, I wish everyone had enough brains to use reason, rather than 'feelings', to shape their political philosophy.
