we have to change our culture to reject these dealers - maybe by giving a bounty reward of turning them in. something different than what we have been doing. When what we have been doing doesn't work, we have to find something that does.
I always thought that if people wanted to be addicted, we should offer them free stuff if they would give up their life styles and be willing to be located in one place. Free drugs = not in the middle of us. Now that is not a popular idea, but when you consider taking drugs is volunteering for a slavery of sorts, they are already making bad decisions. Just take the market away from the dealers.
