One more thing that I forgot to mention...
I think that the only possible solution to the drug problem (on the demand and supply sides), is a one two punch approach.
The first punch would be to legalize the use of drugs, (with an accompanying regulation AND taxation of the trade and consumption of it...
The second punch would be automatic, after a few years of consumption, let a band of hungry attorneys sue the cra*p out of the suppliers, just like they have done with the tobacco companies.
No, I do not approve of the use of drugs nor I support the suing of the tobacco industry (and I do not smoke), but this is different, I am tired of these bastards (the drug traffickers), killing so many people, directly and indirectly. They are a cancer that needs to be cut out, obviously the so called "drug war" under its present format has not worked, nor I think it will ever work.
Legalizing its consumption, therefore eliminating the profit source for many "mules", (common carriers, dealers of the stuff), and taxing those who would be left as distributors/manufacturers is imo the only alternative left to stop this trade (and the killing that comes with it). |
