The Cooper Davis Act would force tech companies to report suspected drug activity to the government. Experts say it would be a disaster for digital privacy.

Down votes are because studies have shown that programs like DARE and the “war on drugs” didn’t really make drugs go away, and that we need better solutions that address quality of life and mental health issues to keep people from turning to drugs in the first place. Also, saying we need to “combat” drugs is very adversarial, and reinforces the boogie man of “evil drug users”, which helps the passage of overly powerful laws, and often make it easier to exploit minorities.
I also think the simplistic “[let’s just] tackle the issue in a smart way” might rub people the wrong way, like “oh, well why didn’t we think of that?”
EDIT: Your edit of “people don’t agree with me, I guess that means they love drugs” is very assumptive, and close minded.
You’re almost there, one more step and you’ll realize the true enemy is capitalism. Some of the weaker drugs can be legalized as long as they’re kept in strict control.
So there are no black markets outside of capitalist economies?
There are criminals too, and gulags.
Then how would eliminating capitalism resolve anything related to drug use?
Sounds like you can’t really connect those statements, you just feel like capitalism and drugs are bad so naturally their badness must be connected.
Most problems can be rooted back to capitalism.
What does that mean to you in tangible terms? What do you think defines capitalism as an economic structure and how do you relate that structure to a cause of something as historical and widespread as drug use?
You must be very young, I would guess 15-16
