Does anyone have any ideas how to get drugs and the drug dealers off our streets?

The police do not seem to be doing enough. The laws only allow minimal jail time.

In the mean time, drugs are in our schools, in our streets and they are killing our youth.

Legalize them! Not trying to be sarcastic, that would kill off all organized crime associated with street drugs.

I really don't think you can save children from drugs unless the parents step up and do their job and teach their kids to stay away from that garbage.

I admire your concern, but if a parent can't teach a kid about the dangerous and teach them that school is their biggest concern they may fall prey to drugs.

I've rarely seen cases where good caring parents have kids that are drug addicts. It's usually low educated parents or flatout bad parents that have kids on the streets looking for drugs.

gotta start with the parents first, although I think even the government gave up on trying to get the point across to parents, cause now all I see is advertising directly to the older brother/sister to teach their siblings to stay away from drugs.

Crime and drugs are BIG business. You can't stop big business.
If crime were to stop it would make a lot of people angry in the "higher ups".

The solution to this problem is very hard to achieve because the population of our youth is so big that with even the best education, some will still go on to the streets. A good idea that I have to reduce the amount of drug use in our youth, is not even legalizing it, because this way the drug becomes easier to obtain, but creating a certain kind of education, a class in which from elementary school the kids face their selves in different kinds of situations, the bigger the grade, the more complex the situation is. I'm aware that there are some kinds of classes like this, but I'm talking about a constant normal class, like math or science, where the children face a situation and have to make a decision, which leads to a consecuence in which they have be responsible of. This is just a suggestion.

Wrong. Why give in to a problem that would only get worse if legalized? Why not legalize robbery, larceny, UDAA, etc?

That is like comparing robbery to murder.

Hey why don't we just give the death penalty for stealing candy. **** all the law breakers.

And why stop with just some drugs, why not illegalize all drugs, like Tylenol a commonly overdosed drug.

I had no idea burning a natural plant was the same as going on your property and stealing your ****.

So deleted, personal insult
