Every user made a choice to use at some point. We need to find ways to make that choice more costly. Punish users. Make examples out of people. Give them long prison sentences. Have the Ad Council run anti-drug ads. If users are in prison, they can’t buy street drugs.
If you destroy demand, you’ll crush the cartel’s bottom line. But that would end the nice gig the DEA, cartels, and drug addicted in this country have going on, so I’m not holding my breath.
- zer0tonin 5y agoYour whole comment is so naive about the economics of drug trafficking but I think: > If users are in prison, they can’t buy street drugs. is really the ultimate cherry on top. Do you really think prison contraband is extinct?
- MisterMower 5y agoJust to make sure I understand, you're saying it's just as easy to obtain drugs in prison as it is on the streets?
- zer0tonin 5y agoYes, or not much more difficult. This is a well studied subject: http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/31877/ http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/31877/
