    I would like to propose a toast to the end of the war on drugs, thanks to this technology which will surely be decisive in convincing people not to want drugs. Once we’ve dealt with all these pesky low level dealers the cartels will pack it all in and give up the chance of huge profits.

    Kicking the same can down the road. Incredibly depressing and dumb. Stop voting for these idiots and join the likes of Portugal by legalising drugs and treating addiction as a health issue.

      Also don’t defund the program like Portugal did. The conservatives there didn’t like that decriminalizing drug possession for personal use actually works, so they immediately worked to cut funding to the program by like 80% and surprise surprise the program stopped being as effective as it was at the start. Essentially every piece of data we have on Tough on Crime™ politics shows that the approach doesn’t work. If you want people to stop using drugs, make it easy for them to do so without fear of being arrested/imprisoned.
