I'm not saying to lock up the users. They need mental and physical help. There has to be a combination of prosecuting dealers and reducing the number of people addicted. I know you think that the government should stay out of it but left to their devices, people will descend to chaos. Criminals have to be prosecuted or else what is the point of rules and laws.
A certain percentage of people are beyond help, they will descend into chaos regardless of drug laws. Take all that money you are spending fighting the war and put into mental and physical help, more money into cleaning people up and figuring out how to get them on their feet. You can't save them all but you also have been losing the war for decades and our prisons are overflowing with people arrested for POSSESSION. Don't know why I bother though, nothing will change and with prisons being privatized the more felons you got, the more cheddar lines the pockets.
