second, we need to more seriously address the problem of drug addiction, as a society. our courts have failed on this issue. repassing laws prohibiting drug use in order to recreate a social stigma around it is a necessary first step, but it's not enough. we failed to properly educate the millennial generation about the dangers of drug use, and we're seeing the consequences of that failure in education. 

the best way to educate young people about the dangers of drug use is to show them what drug addicts actually look like. they're not attractive people, they're pathetic losers, and young people will see that if you stop sheltering them from it and actually allow them to observe the evidence first hand.

no child should say "i want to be a drug addict when i grow up".
