how do you determine who gets executed for drugs? does a street corner dealer who is basicily a kid moving some drugs deserve to die? weed dealers do they deserve it? you cant execute everyone people will always be willing to take the risk if they are broke

The war on drugs is complete failure for many reasons especially in the US it has to be won in individual communities law enforcement throwing kids in prison for being street corner dealers is not the right answer creates a us vs them attitude it needs to be stopped at the source. These kids being arrested instead of throwing them into prison they should try and teach them a new skill try and get them a job and of the streets poverty is the main reason for someone to start dealing. Your countrys system is wrong aswell too many prisoners its ridiclous and the people inside prison need to be learning skills for when they get out if your a kid who has been dealing get out of prison what can you do cant get a job only option is too keep dealing. We should be trying to find a job for these guys when they get out they should have a job waiting for them then they will know what it is like to earn money legit and will be of the streets

the guy who made the wire made a documentary on the war on drugs recently its on netflix very interesting you see how it is a complete failure for the police for the people dealing for the local community no one wins

US has 5 % of the worlds population but 20% of the worlds prison population there is something seriously wrong with that
