You go after the pimps and distributors, to begin with. Help get low level members of these orgs out and back into society. Genuine rehabilitation is not the goal of our prison system, just slavery. To state the obvious you prolly know.
I am not a huge fan of the Nordic model but it is miles better than trying to get the UN orgs to call pimps “sex workers” ugh
Ah yes, the Nordic model… Like Sweden and it’s obsession with drugs, to the point where the doctors will rather you suffer than get you help because if they give you something that can be perceived as addictive, you’ll just become a degenerate addict.
How about the zero tolerance part on having or being on drugs, the one where they will literally ruin your life and any future prospects if they find you with a banned substance in your blood…
You know where that’s led to? It’s led to Sweden having the highest drug related death rate in Europe.
I don’t get why governments get to tell people what they can and cannot take tbh. I love smoking weed, if I have the right strain it decreases my anxiety by 80%,but some fucker in government only understands “drug bad”, so fuck me and my anxiety.
Weed should just be legal tbqh but still controlled like booze but some drugs should always be strictly be medical imho there should not be recreational sedative markets really.
Alcohol is bad enough and weed at least doesn’t cause respiratory depression but idk about recreational benzos or whatever. Opiates. That’s medical shit.
I’m curious what you’d think would be better than the Nordic model; to my current understanding it’s the path the evidence best supports as leading to rehabilitation.
That said, if we just imported the Nordic model and made no other societal changes, I don’t think anything would meaningfully change. Pimps and dealers exist because there is an economic place for them. Even if you arrest people and then treat them with kindness, understanding, and education, it doesn’t remove the incentives that pushed them into that role in the first place, and it won’t stop someone else from moving into the vacuum that arrest creates.
Which ways, can you detail them?

Prohibition does nothing but punish the poor and poorer countries.
