Again, drug users do not seek these drugs. Drug dealers seek them because stronger drugs are easier to smuggle in smaller amounts for the same street value as a much larger quantity of heroin.

And those people unfortunately aren’t going to be helped by prohibition either. In fact, prohibition will only make things much worse for them and everyone else. The knock on affects of prohibition are far worse than most people understand.

I do want to also ask, are you aware if there are any waiting periods whatsoever to get into treatment programs anywhere in your country? I find that in most countries at least somewhere there are prohibitive waiting lists.

No, it doesn’t. Still drug addicts, still drug dealers and violent gangs that import and sell drugs.

Exactly, those drugs are sought after because smuggling small amounts of them is much easier than smuggling larger amounts of heroin.

Black markets, drug markets, gang violence, the warehousing of impoverished people who get drawn in to all that. Nothing but bad comes from prohibition.

How’s that working out? Prohibition has never done anything for addiction.

No, I’m talking about legalization. I said legalized, I meant legalized. Drug treatment programs should be ubiquitous, available, and free.

Legalize all drugs. Move 100% of the enforcement funds into drug treatment programs. And then tax them and put that towards treatment programs.
