1. Drug prohibition sure does great things, huh?

There IS a better way.

The profit-motive and easy cash is what drives these cartels and madmen to inhuman violence and vicious acts. If the 'war on drugs' achieved anything it did what all wars do - it claimed innocent victims disproportionate to its actual aims.

Treat drug addiction as the disease that it is. Stop moralizing to others about using substances that they choose. We are not going to stop allowing alcohol and tobacco use - but they at least provide the templates for what can and should be done in place of fruitless interdiction policies and continued carnage due to profit seeking gangs and cartels.

Tobacco use has plummeted once social stigmas were applied to it and the long-term health risks were made plain. Alcohol remains a constant in human ingestion but at least the usage is largely contained to socially accepted areas and times (except for addicts and abusers, but that is ALWAYS going to be the case).

Legalization, control of distribution and pricing, treatment to prevent abuse and an end to the money spigot that fuels stories like this one. We might as well try it, because what we are and have been doing for decades is only killing innocents and enriching tyrants and creating monsters.
