None of the issues in this article would be solved by the decriminalization of weaker drugs. This article is about a guy who was human trafficking children to sell cocaine and heroin.

No, I'm talking about decriminalising harder drugs. Decriminalising is a proven way of disrupting the drugs trade, by reducing the number of people addicted through a health approach, thus reducing the size and therefore impact of the drugs trade overall, including those trafficking problems you rightly mention.

It worked for Portugal. It’s pretty clear by now that hard prohibition isn’t the answer to fighting drug addiction.
