@Deleted User Sorry, doesn't work, new ones will take their place, because of basic economic principles.
Literally the most basic form is here

1) Prohibition hasn't achieved its goal after a century
2) To achieve it you'd need 24/7 surveillance

@Dasus >peer reviewed published papers

From 420blazeit.com I bet

Okay new ones take their place and you continue hacking the head of the hydra off

Make a damn machine to trim it

So it's only ever a minor issue

And is thus manageable

they also make money from pharmacies and people using their pills instead of marijuana

Illicit growing syndicates always blow up when you leave them untrimmed, and become major issues

You can lurk up to about 1:30 or something when this started when I first presented @Deleted User with these arguments, then provided him a peer reviewed decade long study on the matter, which he didn't read, then presented him with a 10 minute video from an ex US police captain explaining why the prohibition is harmful to society and when he ignored that I presented a 2 minute video, which he also ignored.
Then he keeps repeating the position that there is no arguments anywhere and none of this conversation ever happened.

@wizzy#5578 This x1000

So your solution to the drug problem is to let it go?

And allow capitalist pharma companies to grow (make) and distribute drugs?

Do you know that after the US invaded Afghanistan their opium production increased 40x?

What no?

Indeed it did. (((International Capitalists))) make a lot of money off of opium products

Pried it from local farmers by force and gave it to our companies

Same with oil

No. My solution is:
>Legalize, educate, tax and regulate.
Came up with that myself a few years back. The fact is that drug use wont stop even with the harshest laws so we have to legalize and allow it and try and prevent ABUSE of the drugs.
Using drugs MODERATELY is not the issue in the world.
You shouldn't be locked up because you did something to yourself.
The same as they did with homosexuality a few decades back, and still even murder people for in the Mid-East?
Its the same things . Doesn't affect others, its my business what I do in my bedroom at night.

So, I've shown reasonable solutions for drug policy reform

Which this dumb twat keeps avoiding, since he doesn't have the capabilites to discuss them

He's not dumb nigger

Oh, he's most definitely dumb.

drugs are evil

they ruin people

There's no such thing as a moderate addiction. You're right about the locking people up for using thing

We need to find a way to destroy usage.

Portugal has made leaps and bounds in that field

ABUSING DRUGS is BAD, not evil. Moderately using shit isn't bad. And the FACTS prove that when we decriminalize and legalize we might have some more moderate users but the amount of ABUSERS goes WAY DOWN, so the benefit of society is to allow use, but TO REGULATE IT

By providing their people with rehabilitation, but it's questionable whether that does much in the long run

It's a start

yeah, because locking people up for having an addiction is a reasonable thing to do xD

@Dasus It becomes an addiction and the addicted slough through it. They need help weening off.

What good are regulations if noone follows them?

its literally not questionable. not treating these people as criminals but treating them as patiets literally decreases the amount of total abusers and therefore the entire problem.

what do you mean no-one follows them?

are doctors drunk currently?

no.

why would people be high at work if they legalize ?

they wouldn't. CURRENTLY there ISNT ANY regulation, there is only a PROHIBITION. PROHIBITION =/= REGULATION.
