No disrespect intended, no offense meant, but I cannot help wondering what we can do to fix our problem. We don't seem to have come up with anything over the past 41 years.

For what it is worth: "We" lack the will to do what it takes to solve this problem. We must either legalize and control drugs, or take draconian measures in regard to USERS, not just dealers at all levels. We are content to export OUR problem to other countries, and demonize them for not dealing with it. It is OUR problem. It IS a demand problem, not a supply problem.
We should control our border and control our thirst for drugs. The problems will soon go away.
Ain't gonna happen.
