but if you do not address the treatment aspect nothing will change those addicts need help at the end of the day where there is a demand there will be some type of supply. Also, there are plenty of poor people wo have lived here for generations that cycle too is HARD to break .Yes it does. But it effects certain groups more severely than other groups, and studies show that low-income areas suffer the worst fate, because that's where the drug dealers live and sell their products because it becomes their job. Again, this is a known cycle that people prefer not to acknowledge.
For example, drug and alcohol addiction my dad's side of the family is up to at least four generations that have fought it. His father, his brother, one of his brother's sons and that son's daughter yet we have lived here sense the 1800s Banning alcohol was tried one time failed badly did not even last a score. The drug war has resulted in more drugs people are in and out of incarceration with non-violent drug offenses. What those two things tell me is trying to ban stuff and using JUST incarceration does not work. If incarcerating our way out of the drug problem worked they would have been gone decades ago which is clearly not what happened.
