I say look at those countries with little to no drug problems and see how they deal with it. It may be harsh but if it works, then that is what is needed.
Also look at how some countries protect their borders..again it may shock some but barbed wire and machine guns seem to be working.
Time to take off the kit gloves...give them 60 days to get packing and back home. Let them take up their causes with their own government.
The PC social engineering "be nice to them" just isn't working.

So I guess no one has learned from Prohibition.
By keeping things illegal, you create a black market for them.
It's funny how when the "War on Drugs" started the use of drugs was going down.
Well we aren't going to execute drug users. We can't afford to house them all in prisons for the rest of their lives. Treatment programs don't work for everyone. The criminal element thrives underground so I guess the best thing to do is to shine the light one it all and decriminalize it. We can still apply harsh legal punishment to a user who breaks the law, help those who want help, and let the rest die from drug overdoses. It's the ultimate in personal responsibility. Oh, and no government help for addicts of any sort except treatment.
Should we end the war on drugs? Absolutely and immediately.
But I don't buy the race issue.
There are so many reasons why this war is a failed effort with an unacceptable goad.
1. We have lost the war. Drug use is higher now than before the war.
2. It has ruined millions of lives.
3. It costs over 100 billion dollars per year.
4. It creates the environment for a criminal element...just look at Mexico.
5. Prohibition has been proven to be a failure over and over.
6. And even if the war on drugs succeeded, it would be a failure since we do NOT need our government to tell us how to live our lives. I don't want a government so big that it can police what we eat, drink and smoke.
