Michael Ruppert, a former detective of the LA police dept. has damning evidence that our own gov't supplies most of the drugs that are imported into the U.S.
In 1996 Ruppert achieved some justice through his comments at a televised visit of then Director of Central Intelligence John Deutch to South Central Los Angeles. Deutch had made the trip to Los Angeles to dispel rumors in the black community that followed the publication of Gary Webb's series in the San Jose Mercury News revealing evidence of CIA connections to cocaine dealers in the city, and evidence of CIA and Contra's cocaine trafficking in the US. Webb is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American investigative journalist, best known for his 1996 Dark Alliance investigative report.[5] The now deceased journalist Webb was found dead on December 10, 2004 with two gunshot wounds to the head.[6] Sacramento County coroner Robert Lyons determined that the two gunshots to the head where the cause of his suicide.[7] In Webb's three-part series (later published as a book titled Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion), Webb investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed Contras who had allegedly distributed crack cocaine into Los Angeles and funneled profits to the Contras. Webb also proved that this influx of Nicaraguan supplied cocaine sparked and significantly fueled the widespread crack epidemic that swept through urban areas.

elementary economics. in case you carry on with rigidity on the availability factor (The broking and Importers) you strengthen costs and on a similar time as that has some impact on call for it is not practically adequate. To have any genuine effect on call for you may desire to carry on with rigidity to the call for factor (The consumers). look what the upward thrust in DUI enforcement and effects has performed for inebriated driving. it somewhat is a suited occasion of rigidity on the call for factor. enable's say they bypass a regulation which you loose a million/4 of your factors and could do one hundred hour of community provider the 1st time you're arrested for even the least volume of possession or a superb drug attempt and a million/2 of final factors and 250 hours of community provider for a 2d arrest. And all of the relax factors and a 12 months in some style of lock up. you will possibly see a extensive drop in drug use.

legalize it, then tax it at a very high rate, then ban the use of it anywhere anywhere in public and even in private in certain situations. It has been working with cigarettes, and they are still legal.
Really though, this is such a tough question and and deserves more than a glib answer.. I do like some of the suggestions from James J above me.

Legalize it.
The drive-by shooting was invented during the prohibition of alcohol.
Repealing prohibition gets the big profits out of the picture, which lessens violence. If dopers didn't need so much money to support their habits, they wouldn't be breaking into so many cars and homes and pulling so many muggings.
All of these creeps clamoring for the death penalty would've actually believed they were watching witches burn had they lived in Spain during the Inquisition.

Death penalty. There is not one good thing that comes from the drug trade, and there are killings over terriorty and from stealing it from one another. Lives and families are destroyed from becoming addicted to drugs. Children born to drug addicted mothers have learning disabilities and are usually disabled the rest of their natural lives and have to live on disability because of low IQs, and we the tax payers have to support them. The drug addicts usually are on welfare as they are not able to take care of themselves. They also become infected with HIV/AIDS, and the tax payers also have to pay for their care for this as well.
