    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.

    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?

              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?

                    Although there are a few rebels and other cool kids seeking drugs for foolish reasons, most will end up in this path as a method of running away from the injustices of society and all the hardships it provides. A communist society makes significant investments in the expansion of its education system, digital access and cultural opportunities. Illiteracy rates dropped dramatically in all communist societies, let me repeat it, dramatically.

                    This is true for the Soviet Union, Cuba and even China’s slowpoke liberal-infested implementation.

                    In the other hand, Capitalist societies see education and culture as nothing more than profits, a game of numbers.
