I agree the war on drugs and the history behind it (although initially it had good intentions) is very bad. Unfortunately I haven’t heard of a valid alternative, such as legalization starting with marijuana and early education (D.A.R.E. was reeeeeeaaaal effective). Obama passed some grant bs in 2016 that provided funds locally to help treat addicts and overdoses. Hasn’t done shit.
Honestly if there was a real plan to combat addiction presented to Trump he would act. It’s not his job to come up with the solutions. But I genuinely believe if he was presented with one he’d pass it.
This is a very personal topic for me (please be respectful. I don’t speak of this casually) as my mother was a alcoholic and drug addict for the 3/4 of my life and ultimately lost her battle to her drug addiction. We talk about mental health in this country but it’s a real real problem. My mother was in and out of rehab most of my life and could never kick it. But it was her bi polar condition and the traumas of her child hood (which I prefer not to be specific about) that had her going back to the pipe time and time again.
