RE: Them's was rough folks . . .

Not uncommon in the UK.
I am a policeman, and spent 10 years in an area of London called Brixton.
Trying to tackle the crack problem I felt like the boy with his finger in the dyke.
Although not popular people need to get their head around the fact that drugs is a business, and tackle it like that, undercut the suppliers by making the drugs free on (in the UK) the National Health Service.
Remove 'cool' by treating it as an illness. You then:
1. Put the dealers out of business; so
2. Make the drugs less common on the street; and
3. Buy the drugs direct from the South American governments;
4. Taking money out of the hands of bandits.
Money that is plowed back into legitimate business, undermining decent institutions.
Did we learn nothing from prohibition? Seems not.

P.S. And I would make illegal dealing a MANDATORY life sentence.
