One of the best ways to eliminate it for at risk youth is to take the profit out of it. Drug sales remain one of the few ways to wealth in the inner cities. If drugs were legalized that profit center might disappear. There hasn't been a huge market for rum running since the repeal of prohibition. One of the reasons children are recruited to work in the drug trade is because they get lighter sentences. If drugs were legalized, they would no longer be valuable in the business. Most people who are not users, and some people who are, would like to see drugs disappear. The questions is, does illegality help make them disappear? The success of America's war on drugs seems non-existent. As someone here said, insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Good metaphor for our War on Drugs.
