Raids don't stop the flow of drugs. They only make the price go up. Addicts will never decrease their demand.

I say legalize all drugs and assist those who would use them in overdosing as cheaply and quickly as possible. Eradicate the demand side = eradicate the problem.

The U.S. can no longer use the excuse that Bolivia isn't doing enough to stop drug trafficking. The Bolivian government keeps busting labs all the time, even though the U.S. DEA is no longer there.
