Hi everyone! I am not a med student but I do want to know what are the views of the health experts when we talk about the "War on Drugs". Is it already dead?

Drugs are bad? Oh no! Somebody should have told me. What am I going to do now? Should I tell my patients to stop using them too? Next thing you're going to tell me is that smoking causes cancer and that eating cheeseburgers and fries will make me fat. What is the world coming to? That's it, I'm voting for Trump now!
What I mean here is that illicit drugs are very accessible nowadays unlike before. And even prescription drugs are abused. What are your ways to reduce the growing number? Any special program in your clinic or elsewhere?

The answer would be no. We don't have a special program at our hospital for substance abuse. In fact, we have no inpatient or outpatient program in our community. I am not sure what law enforcement is doing but they seem to be going after the low hangin fruit, the addicts, while the Mexican cartels who are bringing it in remain untouched. We were better off when the bikers were running the meth labs cooking up pseudoephedrine in their trailers. War on drugs is a politic slogan and as such is surrounded by a lot of stupidity and blather from the politcos and at best does nothing but typically makes things worse.
