In a particular country if drug addiction really is a big problem then the only resort I could think of is violence. Violence decreases the peoples tendency to do drugs because of specific circumstances and laws the government have made. But I guess serving their whole lives in jail is reasonable, this might lead to overpopulation of the prisonhouse.

Too bad that there is no such law to just kill drug addicts like stray dogs/cats in the street. Everyone would consider it as murder and another unsolved crime. It would be another burden and another case to handle for the authorities.

Isolating them in prison I think is a good idea, like putting them in dungeons and just giving them water and food so they won't die. Merging them to other prison might still give them an idea on where to score those drugs.

Maybe tighten the punishment for proliferation?

For a drug-free country violence is just a temporary solution. when the drug addicted people will get understand the harmful causes of drugs then they can control themselves. For that government should arrange regular seminar for against of drug.And government should take action against drug seller then almost the country will be drug free.And one last thing police and army have to be very strict against drug seller and drug taker.

[Bitcoininspace]

Yes and yes. The more drug addicts kill, the more chances for a future healthy nation

[ydrogios]

Depends on a country and what drugs are we talking about
Essentially yes violence is the first step to set an example then regulations come in

Violence is never the key to any country in any way, shape, or form. Violence or even the threat of violence keeps us on edge, our fight-or-flight response is activated consistently and we as humans have no choice but to walk around with this ball of fear or knots in our stomachs. Support should be the answer to drug addiction, an addiction is an altered mindset where you are dependent upon a substance. We are so quick to punish drug addicts but not money addicts who hoard 1% of the entire country's money. Addicts need help not punishment, one becomes defiant under the confines of a society that ridicules them on drugs and even when they make an attempt to get clean. Hugs, love, community, and comfort is what humans crave; drugs take that place.

Any time you want to force someone to do or not to do something, you are calling for force.  Non-compliance implies violence, so there is no non-violent method.   often time it is followed by a lengthy prosecution and long stays in jail.
 it is lose for everyone from the addicts to the taxpayers, but a boon to certain folks in the court/prison/rehab process.  There are many things that are addicting-sugar, cheese, world of warcraft, etc, but people don't usually commit crimes to have those-and it is likely because they are readily available anytime to those who want them relatively inexpensive.

  Aside from where youths are involved, just let people mess up their own lives.  One way or another, the problem will either take care of itself and for all the world to observe how bad drugs are and hopefully avoid them, or the addicts will hit rock bottom and seek out professional help.

Many countries have tried to eradicate drugs from their country but they haven't been able to do that despite numerous efforts but right now Duterte violence methinks against the drug dealers and cartels seems to be working very effectively.  They should choose between making money or protecting their lives and the chose the later.

I think give people a better work so that they have a money to buy some foods and other needs. Work also is the better way so that people have things to do, and no have time to push drugs. We need to make people busy sobthey cant think to do bad things.

[RoronoaJorah]

Violence against drug related cases will not be totally resolve until someone wants it and until there is manufacturer of shabu and other kinds of drug this is a deep seated situation in bedded in human society.. No man can totallu eradicate it unless they will dicided to it  themselves..it's like addiction they will no leave until you decided to give it up.

[WhoKn0ws]

Violence is a byproduct of the drug wars which are waged globally.. Mostly gangs and cartels are the ones who carry out violence apart from your everyday offenders.

I think violence isn't a key to drug-free country, look at a real example, it's Phillipines , people are murdering without a justice. It's strongly violated to the human rights, people derserved to have mercy.

[Sithara007]

For some reason, yes,it is, it can help to strongly stop the drug users.

Only if the cops are not corrupt and if the collateral casualties can be avoided. I have heard about a few instances in which the cops used this opportunity to settle the old scores. They framed fake drug charges on some innocent people and then shot them dead in fake encounters. Such instances bring disrepute to the entire operation.

It was not supposed tp be violence.  But in the country like the Philippines,  it maybe the only way to really clean the use of drugs.

If the people can not control i think the government no choice but to be a violence, in the first place the people who use drugs know what happen to them if they continue using drugs and if they not stop to become a pusher but still they do. So what the best thing to do? they can not stop their wrong doing.

[alt iubile]

Violence is exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse. When we talk about violence i believe that theres no good things when it comes to it. If we talk that violence is really the key to a drug free country you are wrong, because violence is an abuse did so theres no freedom on it. For me the key to drug free is self disipcline.

[charmaine08]

The fight against drug addicts in our country will not lead to successful results, because this is already a well-coordinated business and will not be destroyed. In addition, alcohol and cigarettes are completely legal, although they are no better than drugs.

 Yes  , if you don't do violence in them they won't stop using g drugs .

[inoymuninoy]

Nowadays every hour, crime can occur. So we can't blame government to make a violence against them because if they do not do that many crimes can happen again and many people can be a victim.

[bayupermana]

more and more violence happen in a country can make the econmy of that country decrease, making more and more people live in hard time, so they will use drug to satisfy themselves and make the society become worse.
