There is no easy simple solution to our massive drug problem. If it was easy to do we would do it. Legalization has been tried in some countries and that hasn't helped either. We will never stop drugs entering the country until we attempt to stop the demand.
Meth is cheap and easy to make, so even if we could stop smuggling, we still have meth.
Selling drugs is a cash cow that allows the user to make enough money to use drugs. In the inner city it's the lazy persons access to easy money. I believe that the root of the problems in some cases is the breakdown of the family structure. Single moms on welfare, unsupervised children, bad public schools, lack of opportunity, lack of jobs, filth on Tv, in rap music, trash on the web, and on the big screen. Where are the role models for our children?
Our nation sets the bar lower every year and I wonder how rotten it will get in the future. My Dad always said wait and see the children raised by delinquents.
