    They built government run facilities for drug addicts and the dosages are controlled by medical staff. The result, decreases in crime, over doses, emergency medical care, and garbage left by junkies. The USA and their pointless War on Drugs is a fucking scam because the problem is the demand for illegal drugs.

      The other problem/scam is also the demand for slave labor via prisoners, so there’s not much demand for resolving the issue. It also helps that it’s a good weapon to weld against marginalized communities, just sprinkle a little crack on them or bring up old marijuana charges and boom, “justified shooting”.
