If this is the case than I do seriously apologize. I assumed you were arguing for prohibition and a return to tendencies in this direction that are only just now, finally being reevaluated in favor of at least debating legalization. To me that essential prohibitionist stance is disgusting, and especially so after so many years of abject failure.
I agree, a holistic approach is a good idea, but at least in my assessment, it absolutely needs to include a serious move towards practical legalization while investing in support for addiction problems among users. The latter is important, but the formar is the very major missing piece. Multinational drug trafficking organizations will diversify, but without that huge central source of revenue, they'll be walking on a much weaker path in their attempts to dominate entire regions and national governments.
- atdrummond 3y agoWe seem to be in agreement here. I apologise that these discussions have to become so heated; I understand this only comes from a place of compassion and frustration on your part. I appreciate your enthusiasm for change and obvious love for people who are - and have been in - my former position; there’s absolutely no anger on my side for the accidental friendly fire. Thank you so much for speaking up. The necessary changes in this space are only going to happen with continued pressure to abdicate the status quo.
