Howdy,
We will never win the "WOD".
Why? Simple. Supply and Demand.
Every day a new drug user/addict is born without any way to stop it from happening.
That creates a demand. Any time there is a demand for something someone, somewhere, somehow will provide a supply.
Then look at the money end of the illegal drug business:
It's a multi-trillion dollar industry that DEMANDS to stay alive and in business.
Next look at the LE side of the illegal drug business:
There just isn't enough LEOs and funding to stop the illegal drug business.
At the same time the "System" that fights the "WOD" spent stop much time, money and other resources targeting the street dealers and the low end middleman without ever going after the upper middleman and the the tops of the food chain.
When the street dealer gets busted there are 2 more waiting to take his place on the street corner.
The Man keeps busting 19yo hoodrats that are slinging crack rocks on the street corner but they NEVER go after Richie Rich that brings 2 tons of powdered coke into the USA on his Gulfstream jet on each trip.
Or that brings in a cargo container holding 70 tons of pot, or 10 kilos of smack on is Gulfstream.
To kill a snake you need chop off its head, not the tip of its tail.
Pretty simple.
