Aside from resorting to violence, what are your suggestions or answers to solve and deal with drug addicts and users in your country?
Violence is only a temporary solution to drug problem. I think it's really hard to eliminate drugs because it's a big and dirty business handled by organized and untouchable syndicates. Violence will only result to numbers of death and it will only cause people lose trust in the government. Violence is not the best way to control everything.
Violence against the drug empire is very good. It weeds out the weak syndicates, and only the more "evolved" and "adapted" survives and thrives. Rememeber it's easy for them, the plants wanna live... who knows they may even help them.
Why shall the plants have mercy against those who want to genocide them? How plants were born? Add and e and the question is as valid (planets).
