Drug abuse is a mental health issue. People turn to drugs because they're hurting inside, whether they know it or not, and they don't know how to deal with that hurt. So they turn to drugs and/or alcohol to cope and to numb themselves so they don't have to feel all those feelings that causes them so much confusion. Because it's just easier to numb yourself than it is to actually deal with it in a healthy manner. Why are people so resistant to accepting facts? Instead, you fling insults as if that's supposed to help prove your point. It's almost like some of you have no ability to be open-minded and listen to other points of view. Also, legalizing drugs is not going to create new drug addicts. I wouldn't do it if it was legal, so what makes people think that a normal person would suddenly turn to drugs because they're legal? Portugal legalized drugs and regulate it and put more of a focus on rehabilitation and counseling than on punishment and surprisingly, they saw a huge increase in the amount of people entering rehabs. We're clearly not winning the war on drugs. If the way it is now isn't working, what do we have to lose by trying something else to try to combat the problem? Be open-minded, do some research, and stop being so hostile, it doesn't help your case, just makes you look like a close-minded jackass with no ability to accept any new information that goes against what you believe in.
