The only real solution is to simply legalize drugs. Yes, even hard drugs. Legalising drugs does not mean that they are harmless. They're not, in fact many of them are very very dangerous and people should simply never even try any drugs. But that doesn't mean that it's best to make them illegal. Becaus In practice, prohibiting drugs creates much more problems than it solves. The alcohol prohibition in the USA is a great example of what happens when you make a drug illegal.
De-criminalizing only the possession of small amounts of drugs (like some European countries do) does not solve problems like drug wars etc. though. To get rid of drug crimes, the production of drugs must be legalized as well. The reason that we have no "alcohol wars" is that even the production of alcohol is legalized. |
