Most law enforcement agents will tell you that you will not eradicate the drug trade, you are basically addressing the elemnets that negatively impact the citizenry who do not want to be
involved in the drug trade.

Cicero - most criminal justice pratitioners will quickly tell you they wish there were no illicit drugs - it makes everything more expensive and complicated and the staregy changes as politicans change their minds about what they want to do.

Well we have tried "just say no" followed by life imprisonment, which only made firearms a necessity. What's next on the agenda of things that will never work, but let's keep bankrupting the taxpayers trying?

Actions equal reactions.

More violent and aggressive enforcement has created a war zone for the rest of us to put up with.

Not to mention the trampling of rights, unlawful stops, lawsuits, etc.

people will ALWAYS find what they think they need....the government controls choices, hence the making of a criminal...

it's like the difference between a vandal and a 'tagger'....change the name and society accepts it(not that society even
said no to drugs before anyhow)....

truth: there are really folks who DON'T DO DRUGS...legal or illegal....that includes caffeine/alcohol and nicotine....

they were just the easy ones to control by trade and much more palatable by the masses.....

is it bad to do heroin(yeah, to yourself)
is it bad to do heroin then go to work(if you can) then hurt someone else--sure---but there are consequences for that result

precrime has not seemed to work...


is it bad to watch porn(yeah, to yourself)
is it bad to watch porn then go and rape someone----sure----but there are consequences for that result

same with drinking and driving.....how can we tell if the numbers are better? we don't know who DOESN'T drink....

What I don't understand....is that folks know who the drug dealers are. They know what buildings are used as crack houses. They have 'said' that they have called police when they see a drug deal going down on their street. All of the residents seem to know.....why doesn't law enforcement?

Not to mention that drug addicts are either being arrested or placed in rehab facilities, that have waiting lists. Don't they ever spill the beans.....for negotiating purposes? And how is it that these 'rehab' facilities are also a place where drugs are brought in? We know folks who work at2 rehab facilities in the tri-cities....and they say drugs are mailed in, or brought in all the time.

And drugs don't discriminate....there are plenty of white collar workers out there use and abuse!! You'd all be shocked!!!

So WTF???

Drug law enforcers can't arrest all of them or they get laid off.

Plus they couldn't if they tried.

Often law enforcement will allow known drug dealers to continue until they complete their investigation.
Following the dealers will usually lead to their supplier and often to regional distributors.
