Is there a solution to drug trafficking?

There is really only ONE specific solution to the actual problem of the drug trafficking and that is really the regulation and the legalisation....

obviously Due to the actual international black market, for example a gram of heroin that actually costs 20c in a country like afghanistan do actually sells for up to $200 USD in the US. That is really a very massive profit margin......The major reason why the drug trafficking cannot be easily or possibly stopped is actually because of the great massive financial incentives. ..

the Supply and the demand is also a very basic principle of the capitalism....Since the demand is really basically ‘baked in’ because many humans suffer and they are therefore looking for the ways to actually relieve that suffering, there will actually never be a realistic elimination of demand of drugs......So Since there would always be a demand, then there will also always be a supply, i stand to be corrected...... Another actual principle of the capitalism is that the demand often chases the supply and often that high demand, and low supply situations do create some market distortions where an individual can actually sell the things at a very incredible mark up....

The truth is that As long as many individuals are often in pain and suffering, they will often use drugs. Therefore, it means that until the human suffering is totally elimated (which realistically i do not see actually happening in the foreseeable future) there will actually continue to be alot of drug related problems including drug traficking. The only choice is actually whether to really make the problem worse or actually better.

also Giving the control of the actul drug supply to the gangsters in the black market of drugs allows those drug dealers to actually set the price, and also avoid taxes and also avoid any kind of strict regulations regarding the actual purity of the drugs sold... You thus really have a serious situation whereby the addicts are actually paying an exorbitant prices for the low quality drugs that actually injure them and also the profits do often go to the worst kind of individuals....

I would truthfully and respectfully submit or admit that this actual situation is truly the worst of all the possible worlds.....

and the fact is that even If the government actually regulated such drugs, you would still really have a situation which would be similar to what actually exists with alcohol too....There should be strict regulations that would ensure that there are no addictives that wil actuallyl kill or actually injure individual beyond the damage caused by the alcohol or drugs itself....Additionally, the government could send the inspectors and also close down any places that sell any dangerous drugs or alcohol since those substances are doing damage to the surrounding community....

but the truth is that None of these controls efrectively exist in a black market. The products are actually more dangerous than what hey actually need to be, also much higher priced, and really sold by the much worse people and also leading to a signifcantly worse outcomes for those that are using those drugs...

Drugs will actually always be a problem.. The only great choice we can actually make as a society is whether to effectively make this drug trafficking and drug addiction problem to become better or become worse by the effective way which we do regulate the supply and the way we actually treat individuals that addicted to such substances....
