Was a good day

You better start building more prisons if you want to put all drug users in prison. Might as well throw alcoholics in too, Alcohol should be illegal too.

What constructive solutions do you propose? Can we at least agree that the status quo is unacceptable?

I don't agree with punishing the users. But the consequences for anyone upstream from there need to be so prohibitively harsh that no one would take the risk of importing, trafficking, dealing, selling, or making these products.

Cut off supply and demand will follow. Not lock up, but forcable detox. A month in the tank with nothing but baloney sandwiches and some side of the road clean up detail should do the trick.

Harsh times call for harsh measures, or else we are going to have 12yr olds shooting and smoking that sht.

If 1000 stolen cars a month are going through our container ports, imagine whats coming in.

Already happening out on the Rez.

The gangs are taking over and are happy to use children as foot soldiers.
Once those gangs get entrenched there it may be impossible to get them out.
There was a 70 pound Cocaine bust in Prince Albert. Who fronts that to a guy in a trailer court?
Only a matter of time till the start buying Uzi's from the Hells Angels.

Our justice system is collapsing. What we see is a small part of it.

War on drugs was tried in U.S. Guess how that turned out. You cannot outlaw human nature. Did prohibition end alcoholism? More criminalization seems to lead to more crime. Decriminalization seems to be a lesser evil. A regulated drug supply and treatment program is the probable solution, but it is the hardest to accept and institute.

I hear that from progressives.

What are you comparing to?

Do you see what we have now as a improvement?

"A regulated drug supply"

Cartels would slit throats and carry right on. It truly is WAR!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

I wonder how much of the current soft on crime, anything goes drug policies is because our politicians and policy makers have already been captured by organized crime?

Yes you need to fix the root of the problem which is difficult but in the meantime you need to crackdown on the supply and resulting criminality. It’s a multi pronged approach.

There is no easy solution. If there was , it would have been done.
