He doesn't want outside help but nothing good has come of what he IS doing .. which appears to be little to nothing with it all increasing, not decreasing. We are still hoping Trump and his administration can sway him into trying new things .. or anything at all. It won't happen over night though - we all know that.
Legalize and regulate drugs that are now illegal. Problem solved. Is Donnie proposing that?

Who is Donnie and why do you want drugs to be legal? Do you do drugs?

Surely you must be aware that the war on drugs iss a massive failure that hasn't resulted in anything but peoples' lives and communities being ruined.

Anyone that wants law enforcement officers wasting their time chasing around drug offenders should just admit they don't really care about reducing or preventing any other crime, including terrorist acts.

So you want something that destroys lives to be legal then how nice. Once again the criminals win

Trump.

Because making them illegal is a waste of resources. Not sure if you are aware, but there is a massive black market in the US for drugs.

Not really, but I have tried many. And I drink alcohol almost daily.

Alcohol and gambling are two examples of "vices" that destroy lives, and are both perfectly legal, and contribute much needed revenue.

Drugs being illegal has done little to prevent people from doing drugs, and alternatively, if Heroin were legalized in some form, I doubt we'd see a huge spike in people doing it. Might as well collect tax revenue from people who want to inject poison into their bloodstream.

So you mean our President. Wow so you do have problems no wonder you want drugs to be legal! That is sad. You should get real help instead of turning to drugs and alcohol

Thanks for your concern. I didn't realize wine with dinner was such a problem.
