The simple and likely only effective way to deal with this issue is to accept drug abuse as a medical rather than a legal problem and move on. The current Global War on Drugs fiasco has undermined our most important allies, funded our worst enemies, and placed millions of innocent people in a crossfire between borderline-fascist states subsidized by our government, and various tribal mafias subsidized by organized crime. There is an irreducible, by all objective data small, minority of people who will ruin their lives with drugs no matter what. Let them. This is an essentially self-limiting problem that has been blown out of all proportions by the politics of Big Government.
