The War on Drugs did not slow the number of deaths from drug overdoses in 50 years. It is clear that policing alone is not the solution to drug problems.
You've called me a drug user. You've claimed I said that all policing does not work. You are taking very extreme views of me here, I never said any of that. What I'm saying, and I've backed up with lots of info from 3rd parties, is that policing drugs does not slow drug production or drug use. Policing is not the solution to drug problems. Putting drug sellers and users to death does not solve anything.
