Drugs; Is Education and Legalization the Answer?

Well certainly that particular part of the argument got out of hand and although simply shooting all the drug addicts would take care of the problem that is just not the way we do things in the United States. Although they do in fact do this in some of the countries and they actually do have a lower recidivism rate and lower drug use in doing so. Self-preservation seems to be a very high reason not to do drugs. But I bring this to your attention so that perhaps you can share your ideas to fix the illegal drug problems in the United States
