All we have to do is force heavy fines and no jail time on drug abusers. Have them pay for the war on drugs. I would be for mandatory urine tests and blood tests on violators. What should we do? Legalizing and pretend that the problem will go away?
The War on Drugs does not work. Digsbe they've been at this for a long time, and all it's done is fuel a cycle of violence and fear.
Either find something new, or abandon the idea all together, failed policies and wasting money is never the answer.
I may not agree that heavy drugs should be legalised, hell I actually oppose it, but as long as we're locking up pot smokers for having a joint, somethings gotta give.
Oh and fine them? What happens when they don't have the money, which the majority of them wouldn't. You confiscate their property if they have any? That makes them destitute, falling into more drugs and crime.
I don't see it as a viable solution.
