Yes our system is corrupt and unlikely to change, but I am referring to policies like decriminalization that drastically reduced drug abuse and drug trafficking in other countries such as Portugal. Every time we seize a shipment and make an arrest to reduce the supply of drugs, we only further increase the potential profits for the next would be dealers. Heroin and cocaine isnt really very expensive to produce, its just a crop, its expensive because of the laws. Decriminalization without legalization removes much of the incentive for the traffickers of drugs.
