Well... you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

I don't think Vuk's idea would work since as someone pointed out the root problem of drug abuse is poverty and until you eradicate that you will just be executing hordes of poor people. How can you try to be logical about it when they are addicts, they'll do what it takes to get their fix whatever the risks. And sure you can clamp down on the top dogs but so long as crime pays and they don't have many other opportunities in life, they're going to turn to crime.

At the same time I think liberals are too smug with their utopian vision of liberalisation. Yeah, it will solve drug abuse... just like how there's no alcohol abuse when it is legal.

Nor will the black market disappear, the number of illegal cigarettes smuggled into the UK is phenomenal.

So... drug abuse will always suck whatever you do. If you are responsible then congratulations, but don't think it makes one bit of diference to an addict whether it is legal or not.
