> why military action won't help

Look the “war on drugs” has been running all my life and it’s just been getting worse for the US.

What helps against drug addiction and abuse is not more death and bombs - madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

There are many social programs that have __proven__ results in reducing drug deaths and addiction.

Those would need to be implemented, funded and supported; instead of being cut.

It’s pretty simple actually: listen to the people who work with addicts everyday and design programs after their recommendations.
