What’s the Greatest Evil Drug Prohibition or Drug Addiction?
Drug prohibition increases the price of illegal drugs which makes traffick very profitable which creates drug related violence which funds terrorism which puts in jail 80% of jail inmates who then learn how to be better dealers and progress in their careers to bigger more violent crimes.
Drug addiction is a personal curse but if drugs were cheap there would be no need to resort to crime to get them and the consequences would be much less extended to society than the consequences of drug prohibition.
