Just spitballing here. There has to be some sort of solution.

I agree more with your line of thinking Ken. Frankly I dont think the "liberal" approach of education and rehabilition works....IMO there is a certain element of our society who is always going to be using and abusing hard drugs, no matter what social programs are immplented. IMO we need to punish the users......but I think your idea of coming down alot harder on the dealers is a much more pragmatic approach. Junkies will always be junkies as long as there is someone(dealers) there to exploit them...so maybe immplenting minimum 10 year prison sentence for hard drug trafficking can keep some of the junk.....and the junkies off the streets.
