I listen to two guys on the radio debate this question today,they also had some so-called experts on saying that decriminalization is the best way to stop drug abuse, all evidence to the contrary of course. Having had issues in my past I have some experience with addiction and decriminalization is definitely not the way to go the only thing these believing hearts I thinking about is trying to save people who don't want to be saved. I don't know what the answer is but I'm sure making drugs legal is not the way to go
