RE: Cuba and the War on Drugs

in #politics7 years ago

If the US government legalized all drugs, the shift of focus from a criminal justice problem to a public health problem will put even more strain on our healthcare system. While I do agree with you on the fact that legalizing all drugs would be beneficial, we already have problems with our healthcare (ex. the fiasco with repealing Obamacare happening right now). We should first fix that problem and have the capacity to take drug addicts to rehab centers, instead of jails, and that is not something I can see Trump's administration doing.
