If the U.S. was really serious about ending the drug wars they would start by ending the drug users who support the whole dam thing.

Look it doesn't take an Einstein to figure this one out, drugs are a business, a big business, you want to put a end to it all you got to do is cut the market.

If you open a restaurant and you don't have customers   you close the doors, if you open up a car lot and you don't sell any cars you close your car lot, what ever business you choose to venture into it takes customers, without clients your out of business.

Solution number 1.

Leave the drug lords alone, let them sell all they can, but make the users pay for their crimes.

Make it very clear that drug addiction is a crime, not a illness, you do drugs your going to pay by doing real time within our prison system

For first time offenders, one year in prison, not a health care clinic I mean a hard time prison.

Second time offenders, 3 years in prison, no parole they must do the whole three years, plus the added bonus of castration for men, sterilization  for women, for free of course, a gift from our penal system, enough for the taxpayers paying for their drug addicted children.

Third time offenders, its hello oven, that's right it's the crematorium for them, hey bleeding hearts, they are already brain dead, their vegetables so all we're going to do is put them out of their misery and off the welfare roles.

Lets face the facts, my first solution would work, the problem is we don't have enough prisons to hold all the drug addicts in the U.S., and the cost of holding would be more than the U.S. taxpayer could support or should have to support.

Unfortunately the U.S. has an abundance of cash paying customers just standing in line with cash in their sweaty palms waiting to buy their next fix.

In the U.S. there are more deaths attributed to alcoholism and smoking than there is to drug overdoses but both of these are legal so we let them drink and smoke tell their hearts content, face the facts, the taxes we pay for our indulgences make it all worthwhile to the politicians who control us.

Which brings us to solution number 2.

Make drugs legal but tax the hell out of them, that's right make all drugs legal, if those so addicted to drugs that they cant live without their next fix let them have all they can handle, if they croak so what, they are going to die any way so let them die, in the process they are contributing to paying off our National debts.

Drug sales in the U.S. alone are well over a $100 billion dollars per year, These drug lords are all worth billions of dollars, one Chapo Guzman even made Forbes list as one of the worlds richest men.

So lets make it all legal and end the problem of paying billions of dollars on a drug war which is not working.

Another thing, no more millions of dollars for Mexico's war on drugs, why are we paying Mexico to take care of a problem that we created?

Mexico should withdraw all their military, as well as police involved in this crazy drug war and spend the time and money to building their education system as well as  building an economy to support their people.
