1. El Fracaso Innegable de la Prohibición y la "Guerra contra las Drogas".
La mayoría de las voces en el documento coinciden en que la estrategia actual de "Guerra contra las Drogas" ha sido un desastre económico, social y humano, sin lograr reducir el consumo ni la disponibilidad de sustancias.
- The war on drugs is increasing drug use or at least is spectacularly ineffective.
- A war on drugs has been proven to be a disastrous failure economically, socially and financially.
- After 50 years of the war on drugs, there are more drugs easily available at cheaper prices.
- The war on drugs has done nothing but greatly exacerbate drug problems and kill more people than drugs ever would on their own.
- The war on drugs did not stop drug use or overdoses. Instead, it threw hundreds of thousands of people behind bars.
2. De la Criminalidad a la Crisis de Salud Pública: Un Cambio de Paradigma.
Se enfatiza la necesidad de redefinir el abuso de drogas como un problema de salud que requiere tratamiento y prevención, en lugar de una cuestión criminal que llena prisiones y estigmatiza a los usuarios.
- It is way past time to address drug abuse as a health crisis, not a criminality crisis.
- Until drug abuse is correctly seen as a healthcare issue, and drug dealing is correctly seen as a poverty issue, then this failed war on drugs will keep killing people and filing prisons.
- Decriminalize drug use, and treat the users.
- Drug addiction is a demand issue not supply.
- Drug addiction is a public health problem. The us just doesnt use the military to address public health problem.
3. Legalización, Despenalización y Reducción de Daños como Soluciones.
Una propuesta recurrente es la legalización o despenalización de las drogas, junto con la regulación y la provisión de tratamientos y educación, para socavar el mercado negro, reducir la violencia y mejorar los resultados de salud.
- Legalize it, all drugs, and treat and educate. The trillions spent on a useless drug war.
- Decriminalize all drug use really fixes several things. Open treatment clinics and defund the police so people get the help they need.
- Legalize and treat. The drug war is probably one of the most misguided policies that has cost us trillions and produces fascists.
- Legalize it. Cartels gone. Boom.
- Legalize all drugs and allow people access to a pure supply. Its literally the only way to make drug use safer.
4. Abordar las Causas Raíz: Pobreza, Salud Mental y Desesperación.
Muchos argumentan que la demanda de drogas es un síntoma de problemas sociales más profundos como la pobreza, la falta de oportunidades, la inseguridad y las crisis de salud mental, y que la solución real reside en abordar estas condiciones subyacentes.
- Btw you will never eliminate the drug crisis until you eliminate poverty.
- Lets do anything except address factors that lead to drug use poverty, insecurity, education, mentalphysical health. Its a demand problem.
- If its about drugs, maybe we should be addressing the massive mental health poverty crises that are the combined root cause of why america is the worlds a-1 purchaser of those illegal drugs.
- If you want to kill the drug problem, start with the demand dide, and create a society where people dont want to escape with mind altering substances.
- Drug use is definitely a problem here. I think we need to put some blame on those buying it. One reason is definitely a hopeless situation. Turning to drugs to relieve themselves of lifes burdens or mental illness.
5. Críticas a la Militarización y la Violencia en la Lucha contra las Drogas.
Se cuestiona la efectividad y la moralidad de las tácticas militares, como el bombardeo de embarcaciones, argumentando que no resuelven el problema de fondo y solo aumentan la destrucción, la corrupción y la pérdida de vidas.
- Killing people without proving they are guilty is horrible. And it wont solve the problem of drug use overdoses.
- Bombing defenseless boats in the caribbean does nothing to solve our drug problemits just another shabby distraction.
- Drug overdose deaths are tragic. But to put the blame entirely on drug traffickers is non-sensical. And fighting an anti-drug war is pointless.
- Blowing up unknown boats thousands of miles away but you arent doing anything to decrease supply or demand.
- Murdering people isnt action on drugs. The supply of drugs will always be there.
