> The problem is that it mainly targets users instead of traffickers.

This works, if the punishments are harsh enough. See e.g. China, where the punishment is death. Right next door is Russia, which is rotting from the inside from (((American))) drugs (not hyperbole - ask if curious).

Targeting traffickers is just more efficient. South Korea was able to completely solve its rampant drug issue within just few years of Park Chung Hees presidency by shooting for the head. He punished users too but didn't specifically target them.

There's less traffickers than users, they're easier to find than users, and they're the root of the problem. It's a no brainer. But the Cia distributes drugs purposefully, therefore the drug crisis will never be solved in america
