No I'm saying that we've been losing this drug war for a long time it's time to try something new. Protrugal has had great results for over ten years it's time we try instead of continueing to imprison are population to record breaking numbers.

We're better off trying something old that been ignored by many, and that's the family structure I mentioned in another post. Strong families build strong communities.  You address and tackle the problems of the heart and the role-models, and you prevent the issue we're talking about.

That would also help but what I've suggested has been done and proven to work. On top of that the ground work has already been laid out for us so we just need to copy and implement the same thing here. Then we can start working on building famalies. You can't build famalies if your throwing dads in jail for smoking weed or catching them with a little bit of cocaine. Then making it harder for them to get normal jobs. 

 

On top of that do you know how hard it is for drug addicts to get help when it comes to rehab? I know a girl who recognized she was an addict and wanted help. She got lucky cause she was on her dad's healthcare plan and was able to use it to get admitted to a rehab facality with everything paid for her. Without that she'd have nothing she'd have to continue to hang around and be around the same people who were telling her not to go to rehab and to stay. I was 1 of 2 people urging her to go. If we stop fighting the war on drugs and redirect that money towards free treatment facalities we could help so many people.
