WHAT OUR CHILDREN ARE DYING FOR IN AFGHANISTAN The Taliban had all but eradicated the opium growers before the US invasion. So why is cheap Afghani heroin flooding into the United States? www.thebostonchannel.com/cnn-news/21068822/detail.html whatreallyhappened.com/IM...608_opium_marines_800.JPG

Legalizing it is the only answer. The only reason they farm and sell it is because of the money it brings. Take out the outrageous profits by making it legal and it will disappear. And just because it's legal doesn't mean people will use it. The illegal status of drugs does not stop people from using it. You'd think people would have learned from alcohol prohibition. But nooooo! They didn't learn a damn thing. And now we are enabling it. We are fighting for the drug dealers instead of against them. That is only because our government has a vested interest in the drug trade. They created the problem and they provided a phony solution, and they did it all for the money.
I think you're right about legalizing these drugs but I'd add an intensive "education" campaign of potential consequences of use/misuse. The irony is that every time police make a big drug bust the community is a little less safe because price goes up as supply goes down, so a druggy needing more cash commits more crime. Stupid Feds in Canada are going to the Supreme Court to close down a "safe" drug supply clinic for addicts in BC instead of conducting research into ways to get people off drugs and developing intensive education programs to preclude people from being hooked.
I agree, in a way. I'd use the money gained strictly to finance treatment as well as education. It seems odd to legalize something and then use the money for treatment of what you legalize. But I dont see any other solution than to take the money out of the equation. If it wasn't for the profits, there would be no crime. I think it's sick that the Valentines Day massacre killed 7 people, and that created a royal shitstorm for Capone and his outfit. Now, when 7 die, it might make the news for a day or 2.
