    Problem is the problem can’t be solved by locking anyone up. As long as they’re are billions of dollars to be made someone will always fill the void. I agree that deals should be locked up but how are they planning on stopping the next guy? Without a social plan to prevent and treat addiction it’s a lost fight. Nearly 60 years of the war on drugs and nothing to show for it

      The war on drugs failed purely because it was punitive only. You cannot fix things by hitting them with a stick, no matter how many morons swear by the practice.

      No matter what ELSE a valid fix should include, getting rid of irresponsible dipshits that get people killed is a good thing. Any drug dealer interested in keeping customers should be punishing people selling them fentanyl, not attempting to distribute it.
