What’s Worse The Effects Of The War On Drugs Or Addiction?

War On Drugs raises the price of drugs making traffickers reach including terrorists. We’ll lose the Afghan war cause the Taliban has all the money coming from their opium trade. The fight against terrrorism is at stake cause we stick to enforcing drug laws that are unenforceable. We need to legalize, regulate and tax them like any tobacco product is. Instead of deficits fighting drug cartels we’ll have profits to be used to educate and rehabilitate drug addicts.

  1. Wrong distracter Charlie Brown.
    What we need to do is just keep hammering the pushers and suppliers. Let users get off if they give up their pushers. Let the pushers get off if they give up their suppliers. Let the suppliers get off if they give up their source.
    Take a page from George Patton. You don’t win a war by winning battles. You win a war by eliminating the other sides ability to wage war. No source = no supply. No supply = no pushers. No pushers = no users.

  2. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, as of June 30, 2007, American prisons and jails held 2,299,116 inmates.[9] In recent decades the U.S. has experienced a surge in its prison population, quadrupling since 1980, partially as a result of mandated sentences that came about during the “war on drugs.” Violent crime and property crime have declined since the early 1990s
    people are still gonna get high whether it is legal or not. legalize and regulate. all the war on drugs really does is turn someone trying to feel good for a few minutes at no ones expense but their own into a criminal. i could do less time for a murder than for a drug related crime. that just does not make sense.

  3. Just as Prohibition was worse than the alcoholism it was supposed to curtail, the War On Drugs has completely failed, unless you make your money from it, like drug dealers and the police who fight against them.

  4. Good points. Another is this sad fact: 1 out of every 100 Americans is now in prison, many for infractions of our ridiculous drug laws. What a travesty; what a waste.
