Re: Bomber Thompson arrested
Drug trafficking wouldn't exist if we treated drug addiction as a health problem and legalised and regulated it's provision.

Absolutely.
How are the current methods of control going?
It's be proven, pretty much categorically, that regulation is the best method of reducing drug use, and that in fact, the criminalisation of drugs *exacerbates* their use.

Well it's making it slightly harder to get, and keeping prices high. So people are getting less and using less than they might if it was cheap and readily available on shelves.

Legalise ice and then the next cheap and nasty black market drug comes out, legalise that and then the next black market cheap and nasty drug comes out and around in circles we go

You think it'll be harder to get and more expensive if it was legalised?

Do we want to limit access and increase the price? Or actually solve the problem of drug addiction?
When someone is willing to rob a petrol station after already selling everything they have just to feed a habit, the "threat" of a criminal conviction for drug use aint going to do shit other than put these people further into a spiral.
The price is also moot. As one drug goes up in price, people find a cheaper alternative. The cheaper the product, usually the more dangerous the ingredients - again, causing more issues.

Like you said the price of it is almost irrelevant and making it easier to access(even thought it's easy already) won't fix that problem.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.
