This opinion could be described as thinking out of the box or, stated another way, we all must at times think differently but, most important, act in an uncommon way, as the old thinking has only resulted in failure. To get specific, I am suggesting that we adopt the British system. I must confess that I am not well-versed in the British system, but it has provided an excellent result. It requires all drug users to register with legal drug pharmacists who sell needed drugs at a reasonable price, thereby eliminating the competition among gangs. It's my opinion that our government must make a request to the British government for additional information/details and adopt that system as a good solution. I understand that our Congress and president must pass needed laws for this to succeed. But the lives and money saved would be overwhelming.
