The war on drugs and prohibition has destroyed more lives than the drugs themselves.
Prohibition and criminalization of drug use is not the way to solve a medical problem of drug addiction and abuse
- mjbeswick 5y agoAbsolutely. Possession shouldn't be a crime; just the intent to supply. The best way to help addicts is to supply them with safe places to go to administer drugs, and provide registered addicts with safe drugs and support for free. It's expensive, but less expensive than wasting resources treating people that are essentially victims, as criminals. It's important to note that "the war on drugs" is an American concept; not how things are done in the rest of the world. It's almost like they learned nothing from the prohibition!
