Thanks for the presidential nomination tanman
Anyways, I thought I addressed use in my last post, I'll quote it.
Another point I thought of is the "rebellious action" of teenagers just because something is wrong. A lot of us may not realize this but we do lots of things sometimes just to be rebellious and live on the edge. If there is no thrill in drugs, many teens will stop and look for other thrills elsewhere, possible positive thrills, I don't know. No one can predict another person's mind and reaction to something like this but we need to give them that chance and like it has been said so many times in this post "It is there choice."
We aren't here to live their lives for them. Education, education, education. That is a big part of what we can do. We can't do a whole lot beyond that since, if they want drugs, they will be able to get ahold of them, simply because of the loser out there who will supply because he knows he can make some money off it.
Drugs aren't going away. The title of this post was not "get rid of drugs," simply because it cannot be done. This is the best solution to the problem that I see.
Again, I'm going to quote one of my posts
The expensive, horrible-quality alcohol people bought blinded, crippled, and killed many people (unlike the alochol of today, which is manufactured by companies with regulations, hmm...). After all the chaos, destruction, bribery, corruptiong and loss of life, America realized what prohibition was doing to them and repealed the amendment. The streets immediately became safer (not over a period of time, immediately) and the gangs went out of business.
Legalize them.
