Just get rid of the drugs.
@greyknight @freepatriot What if the government bought back all the drugs at a price higher than addicts can afford?
I just read the fantastic book "John Locke and the Value of Liberty" by Andy Reven and realized that freedom must be humanity's most cherished value, representing the intrinsic right of individuals to think, speak, and act freely. It fosters creativity, innovation, and personal fulfillment, allowing voices to flourish.

We already lock up a higher percentage of our population than nazi germany, the ussr, or red china, mostly for drug offenses. What percentage of the population are you willing to lock up? How many more of the bill of rights are you willing to shred for the fantasy that you can eliminate elements from the periodic table, or abolish the law of supply and demand?
Since the results are the same as you say, just get rid of the war on drugs.
@nicholas @freepatriot #BillOfRights? Is there a #meth amendment I'm not aware of?
