Question by Loveline: Should we restructure the War on Drugs?
Nearly every statistic I have found has shown that the War on Drugs is fairly ineffective. However, how can you do NOTHING against something that is so dangerous to society.

I was thinking about it today and thought up a new way to approach the War On Drugs, which I would probably change the name too, “The War on Addiction.”

1) Start by creating programs that focus on rehab instead of imprisonment for drug users.
2) Start reducing drug profits by allowing legal use of drugs.
– Similar to drinking laws, allow it only in certain places, have laws against misuse.
– Ask every offender if they wish to go to rehab
– Track purchases with a database, if someone buys a suspicious amount, then they do not receive anymore a certain time period. Ask for rehab.
3) Reduce money spent on police force to spend on rehab. (Predicted to save money)
4) Temporary surge in police forces to help break up gangs after legalization. Then steady patrols through said neighborhoods to keep things stable.    Read more...
