Not prosecuting and actually punishing the abusers is the root of the problem. We need to clean up the problem from this side of the border before we focus on Mexico. Treating the druggies like victims has a track record of not working. We still need to go after the suppliers. but until we slow down the demand the problem won't go away.

Don't know when I've agreed any less with a post on this site.

Same here. Drug addiction is a disease, just like alcoholism and over eating. If throwing people in jail for using drugs was a real solution, we would have eliminated drug use 30 years ago. People caught in the possession of narcotics are going to jail for longer periods than ever before. The only thing that has been achieved is more people in prison. There are literally millions of Americans using marijuana, even though it is illegal in most states. Making it "more illegal" will have about the same affect on drug use as making guns "more illegal" has on people getting shot.
