“Usually these are young kids who get on this to look cool, then it’s too late and they cant get off of it” - excellent example of why it should be legalized and regulated. Would you believe me if I told you it’s easier for kids to buy cocaine than it is to buy alcohol? Notice today we don’t have bootleggers selling alcohol out of their homes. And most liquor stores will not risk their alcohol license to make a sale off someone who is underage. Drug addiction is a mental health issue. You can attack supply (the dealers) all you want but more will pop up because that’s how supply and demand works.
“The people on the drugs are victims to the idiots who wont go get a real job.”
The people on the drugs are victims to THEMSELVES because they are CHOOSING to use heroin. So let’s take all that money wasted on busting these dealers and put it towards helping the VICTIMS who can’t control their own addictions. If you think they will stop using heroin now that this particular bust took place then you need to examine reality. I am tired of people who think:
A- The government has any right to tell people what they can or can’t put in their body and
B - Believe that prohibition is an effective way of controlling human behavior
We tried this back in the 1920s with alcohol and saw how much of a failure it was. For some reason, despite that, people still seem to think the war on drugs is an effective way to solve America’s drug addiction problem.
