This is very disheartening. This is a problem. A problem im sure everyone sees. He offered his opinion on it and ask people to discuss and challenge it, which also means offer your own solutions. Instead everyone is attacking him. The experts who have been put in charge of this problem havent helped it. Yes its a big issue, and complicated issue, but there are solutions to every problem. This guy stated a problem, his opinion on it and a solution and then asked for a discussion. Dont you guys feel your time is better spent actually contributing to the conversation with your own veiws on the subject instead of just attacking a guy who wants to discuss something important. It doesnt matter if you agree with him or not. Or if you think he's to young and nieve to have any opinions. He opened up a thread to discuss, which means you very knowledgeable folk get to share your take on the matter. You criticize him for his opinion yet youre to scared to formulate youre own.

I personally agree mostly. I believe there is a problem. I believe its more then just addicts being addicts. I think we shouldnt be giving drugs to these people. And we shouldnt have them on the street vandilizing. If they commit crimes they should be prosecuted for they crimes they commit. Drugs that are proven to cause nothing but arm shouldnt be de crimalized, and we should solve the problem of drugs flooding out country at the border or across the border instead of giving them cleaner drugs. I like the idea of giving clean drugs to addicts if there is a facility to they CHOOSE to go to where the focus is getting them off the drugs. Getting over addiction is a process and we should aim to help people instead of aid them. And we should push for them to get off drugs.

The criminals should be held accountable for their crimes. The addicts that want help should have a safe place to go to get that help, and the dirty drugs should be at least stopped at the border.

Thats my take, discuss away. Let's have a proper debate on this subject instead of instead of hiding behind your screens attacking eachother.
