Is violence really the key to a drug-free country?

[doothewop]

Wow. There are some full-on sociopaths in this thread. Including OP.

No. Violence isn't the answer to anything. Neither is prison.

Aside from resorting to violence, what are your suggestions or answers to solve and deal with drug addicts and users in your country?

The problems of drugs in a country isnt easy to solve. But it doesnt mean that we need to use violence to solve a problem cause by another violence.We just need to be more focus on making more heavy punishments and laws.

Isn't heavy punishment a violence? like putting them to near death situation in the prison?

Once and for all, the authorities should find the source of this drugs and make those pushers suffer. But since most of them are hard to find, or if easy, mostly are untouchable, isn't it just fine to just shoot them and pretend that it was an accident?

I suggest to bust every bigtime drug syndicates. Ban the entry of every substance linked to making drugs. Punish criminals linked to drugs heavily--no bail and for possible death row. This way, people will be scared to deal with drugs. With this we can rid our society with those non sense drugs.

No! violence is not the key to reach a drug-free country, illegal drugs is one of the most problem that a country faced, so its hard find a solution to it so we need a strong law to fight against illegal drugs.

No, Violence isn't the only key.

The only way is cooperation from all citizens of a country and the strict implementation of the law can reduce the proliferation of drugs.

If and only if all peaceful means are done and still not effective then maybe we could consider violence. From the looks of this post, it looks like they're stemming from the politics of the Philippines. But let's see, like in Columbia, they tried to reason with the cartels, made strict laws, involves alot of police officers and even military. What did it do? The cartels and drug dealers fought back, with guns! So much guns that they actually out gunned the military. They only got silence with a show of force

What you will do if the citizens are not cooperating with the authorities? I am not saying that all of them are affiliated to the drug gangs, as many are afraid to do anything against the mafia for the fear of violence and retaliation. The drug dealers understand only one language and that is violence. And you can personally see the results. The drug usage has been reduced, and many of the drug dealers have been eradicated (either killed, detained or deported).

Governments should hunt the bigtime drug pusher. Not only those who are small time pushers. Because the bigtime pushers have the resources to produce more drugs. And the public should help the authorities to fight drugs. The public can help big in the drug war.

It's hard, think of them like the queen of ants, you can't touch them without passing thru its soldier ants. Therefore you have no choice but to destroy tear those who bite you so you could get the queen. Same as in drugs, you can't just see the mastermind and if you do, either you are dead or you can't get them since they are protected with not just their own bodyguards, but sometimes their cohorts who are sometimes the authority itself.

[Gintron]

No i do not think that violence can solve the drug problem. I think you must educate the kids. They must learn all the consequences for using drugs. Only then maybe the drug rate will fall. In general I think that a drug free county will never exist.

I believe that there are only two factors why people are getting involved with drugs. One, the obvious reason for being involved with drugs is depression and it's either depressed person gets aalcoholic or drug addict. Second would be the poverty. In some countries in which finding an income is so hard, people just risking their lives selling drugs which is eventually can also turns them into being a drug addict. Now depression and poverty can be solved not by violence but love

In my country violence for the drug free country was indicated . Even were not supporting that campaign what we can do ? Government has the power to implemented that .

[bondagefairy]

No it's the key to a drug-free country. You should shut down all the cartels by using the law not violence.

[youarehere]

i think so because the drug addict will not hesitate to kill they dont want to jailed or catch
