What tools are the most effective in fighting illegal drugs today?

Decriminiliztaion of marijuana, stronger focus on methanhpetimine, cocaine, crack and heroin.

Legalization of Marijuana would help. If there were permits required to grow and then sell them, part of the money used to stop this drug can be turned elsewhere. Making the legal age 21 (I would prefer 25.... but that might be a stretch) it would be similar in law to Drinking. No driving.... can't do it in public. Permits to grow and sell would create jobs in the workforce. Perhaps a restriction that a grower cannot be a seller would help keep it competitive.

Offering alternatives that are far more popular than drugs. It's a matter of supply and demand. If alternatives are apparent like: equal education, employment opportunities, engaging after-school programs, internships, counseling, etc, the demand for drugs would erase thus erasing the need for the supply. :)

There is no demand for crap on a plate therefore there is no supply. Why eat crap on a plate when you can get a hot heaping plate Manicotti?

Citizen awareness and involvement. You can no longer "look the other way". This is something that everyone is responsible for.
The police and government can only do so much. Step up and take control of your lives and your neighborhoods.

Nothing is effective.
It's just another endless , meaningless war.

There are no effective tools because we, that is, our government, goes after the drug pushers who are only suppling the REAL problem, users. Without users there wouldn't be any pushers. Quite simple really.

I am for legalizing pot - it is so much mellower than alcohol it's not funny. As for the rest, well, good luck. Like whoring, you are not going to stop something people are DRIVEN to do and will pay money for. First you will have convince the US Govt to get out of the drug trade. Don't be so naive as to think they are not involved in it.

protecting our borders, namely coastline, especially in florida, and border crossings with Mexico. But this is expensive.

The most effective tools and methods are illegal, which is why the war on drugs is a losing cause. The law tells us we have to be "nice" to those people, which allows their activity to continue and prosper.
