Don't know, I'm not a drug addiction expert. Surely out of a population of 330 million plus, in addition to other countries input there is sufficient knowledge to commence targeted campaigns, plus addressing over subscription by the medical profession in the US. Many years ago I had an illegal drug addition, I didn't need countless counselling sessions, just woke up one day after an overdose and a nurse said to me do you want to die - so I never used again from my own will, no rehab etc etc. IMO opinion addiction is a state of mind and the only person who can stop the use is oneself - a lot of BS and hot air and god knows how much money is wasted

"Surely out of a population of 330 million plus, in addition to other countries input there is sufficient knowledge to commence targeted campaigns, "

 

DARE (drug abuse resistance education) program was started in 1983 and continues in 50 states.

It targets young people with the hope to prevent them beginning drug use.

Apparently unsuccessful.

 

 "California's drug education programs, D.A.R.E. being the largest of them, simply don't work. More than 40 percent of the students told researchers they were 'not at all' influenced by drug educators or programs. Nearly 70 percent reported neutral to negative feelings about those delivering the anti-drug message."

And it is not just fentanyl laced pills, but candy and other edible items.

The cartels are heartless demons that target anyone, Mexicans and Americans alike.

 The attempt to blame Mexico for the fentanyl crisis is a refusal to accept responsibility for a made in America crisis. Go after the motorcycle gangs who manufacture and distribute the crystal meth and fent.  Deal with the users. You could stop all drugs from entering tomorrow and the USA would still have a drug crisis. It is because the society is rotting from the inside out. The people are neglected and not taken care of. While Elon and Sylvester party at Mar O Logo, thousands of homeless, destitute people are scavenging the streets of the big cities look for their next meal.

Kind of makes sense, as I said the will to stop has to come from one's own self. If the addicts and casual users have no desire to stop using hard drugs I guess the only way is to interdict supplies whjch  to date has been a complete failure (Globally?) I understand a few countries have had some success with reducing deaths by way of injection rooms, but I assume in USA, especially under trump, will not happen nationally, only a few States so far...

You seem to want it both ways - false claim, or why didn't Trump attack Iran? Maybe because he was not sure the order would be obeyed. He is a coward at heart, like all bullies.

 

The correct spelling is court martialed. Your ignorance of basic English is embarrassing.

In any event, you claimed, "Trump wanted to attack Iran to bolster his electoral chances in 2019..." .

 

So why didn't he?

 

And do you have anything that supports your false claim?

And armed and supplied by the USA. Why does the USA allow all those weapons to  flow into Mexico?

The cartels would not have the wealth and power that they do if  the USA was not supplying the money to do so. The two most common drugs imported into the USA are marijuana and methamphetamine.  No one is forcing Americans to gobble down the meth or to smoke the cannabis. Americans  find it easier to blame Mexico, when the real problem is the moral rot and hypocrisy of the American people.

And Trump wants to stop the cartels. Do you support that effort or no?

It is worth noting that big cities in the US are the bluest areas in the country.

I believe the U.S. should take a multi-prong approach.  Dealing with users, distributors (including the gangs you mention) and international interdiction.  It is reported precursors come in from China with the finished product made in Mexico.  Shipments of cocaine and marijuana from South America (mainly Columbia) are regularly being intercepted.  All of this needs to be addressed.
