There isn't a one size answer. The drug problem is bigger than the people caught up in it and has been with us for a long time.

Needs are created by the drug industry and the individual. Some people don't handle drugs well and end up being addicted. The problem is bigger than just drugs - it is housing, healthcare and jobs.

Housing, healthcare and jobs are needed by the addict, but many are in such a state that they won't accept any help. What is the solution?

Blowing up boats is a smokescreen for actually getting to the root of the problem, and that is demand. Our country has a serious addiction problem and a mental health problem. Addicts need help, and grieving loved ones need solutions. A campaign of enabling hate makes it worse.

Drug users are created by many different reasons - some by the pharmaceutical industry itself.

In 2024, the Coast Guard conducted more than 250 targeted interceptions in the Caribbean of boats believed to be transporting drugs based on intel. Only 55 were actually transporting drugs; the rest (80%) were innocent.

Trump's policy is to kill them all, including the 80% who are innocent.

Of those charged after arrest, most are for trumped up resist or obstructing type charges filed only to insulate the agents from being sued for their violent and assaultive arrests.

The woman is delusional and drunk with the wine of lies. The GOP fascist regime know well what they are doing and saying and for what intent and purpose. It’s called pyscological manipulation and it’s the trade mark of malignant narcissists.
