How sure are you about that? There are countries that are successfully fighting addiction (such as Portugal) to drugs[1].
The US has massively failed addicts for some time, wanting to just put them in jail instead of treating them.

- BitwiseFool 4y agoI think we're talking about two different aspects to the problem. The methods and approaches taken in regards to treating addiction is not the same thing as teaching people about the harm of drugs. I'm not saying we shouldn't have drug / substance abuse education, but rather, its not the cure-all people think it will be.
