I get what you are saying.


Of course seizing heroin is a good thing but let’s tske a step back for a second.

We’ve been fighting the supply side of the drug war for 30 years without any noticeable change in user rates. Sure the drug of choice had shifted but the number of users has not. Anyone that has taken Econ 101 can tell you that if there is a demand for something, there will also be a supplier and ever evolving ways for getting the goods to market.

I think we are seeing a slow shift in our thinking to target the users instead of the sellers but we are a long way off from making s real difference. Decreasing the size of the market = less profit = less competition for the market (violence) = less incentive to leave your country. A complete revamping of our drug policy would go a long way to address our illegal immigration problem.
