RE: Afghan Heroin Output 4x Greater Despite U.S. Spending $1.5 Million/Day ($9.3 Billion Total) to 'Fight' It

in #war6 years ago

There are a lot of Turkish, Middle-Eastern, and Muslim gangs dealing heroin in The West now, Europe in particular has been flooded with smack. And, to make things worse, the fent pouring in from China makes OD's a lot more common. Not a good combination.
I would like to see governments making access to heroin something that was legal and controlled. Extreme POV, I know, but there would be far fewer OD's, and the profit-streams would be taken out of the hands of the worst of the worst.

Sort:  

Yes, the only benefit of legalization is making it safer, but moving the profit from one illegal gangster to a legal one called government is marginally better :/

Which EU countries do you talk about? While there is an increase in Germany in the last years to the levels of 10 years ago,

I would say the far worse place is the USA.

(drug deaths through illegal drugs in both cases)
