This is also just harm reduction because you can’t really stop this. If China agrees to crack down what is to say another country won’t pick up the slack.

This is why we should be going after the root of the problem… Why are people wanting to do drugs in the first place? Life sucks? They have little to no opportunity to improve their quality of life? They have physical or mental health issues that aren’t being treated properly? Poor understanding of the risks involved? None of this shit is solved by the war on drugs. Fix these social issues and the demand for mind altering substances will plummet. If I’m wrong, well we’ve done a lot of good anyway and at least we’re not destroying lives over what people choose to put in their bodies.
