RE: TIL That Drugs in the United States are Killing More People Than Road Accidents

in #til8 years ago

This would actually happen less if the money put into criminalisation and fighting drugs was used in treatment. Proper licensing would also reduce overdoses and other types of harm from improper or adulterated sources.

Sort:  

Much much less actually, of course, accompanied by a good social education and time. A clear example is Portugal (funny that the article I found the first was from the Washington Post ;) but hat it says is true, I have been there ) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/06/05/why-hardly-anyone-dies-from-a-drug-overdose-in-portugal/
