Too busy to elaborate much at the moment, but basically rewarding citizens who turn in those growing, making or distributing narcotics. The large the cache uncovered the better the reward.
Good idea or no?

Reduce drug trafficking by rewarding with cash for informration?

Good point, I'm saying people in posession or caught buying or having, but trafficking and dealing (in large amounts)
People should never be encouraged to attempt to take the law into their own hands, which something like this most definitely would do. Not to mention the potential 1984esque ramifications of encouraging people to turn in their neighbors.

I think the OP is referring to whistleblowers rather than vigilantes. That is not taking the law into your own hands.
1984 was based on a totalitarian (thought control) regime rather than the free society we live in. Not the same comparison.
Whistleblowers do what they do because it's the right thing to do. Offering cash incentives to turn in drug dealers will only encourage citizens to find and report drug dealers. A whistleblower finds the criminal coming to them. With a cash incentive like this, you'd find citizens seeking out the criminals. This is what I mean by "taking the law into their own hands".

Hasn't this already been in place in some areas? I'm pretty sure Florida has had such a program for years.

We just need to fvcking legalize drugs already.
People want them and the government is NEVER going to be able to stop the supply (short of a implementing an oppressive police state).
The "War on Drugs" is a colossal failure and a extremely expensive one at that.

And put contaminated druygs ouit on the street.
Fear no death, take the drug and roll the dice.
Fear death, go cold turkey.
Legalizing the substances would put them under government regulation, most likely. Just like you must have license to manufacture, distribute, and then sell liquor. The FDA would have to approve your product before you sold it, and with a perfectly legal way to sell those drugs, all the shady dealers and crippling contaminated drugs will die out.
How often do you go down to your neighbor Bubba for a keg of moonshine? Never?
Quickest way to slow down the drug trafficing is to close off the borders. But the was on drugs will never end until the people stop uasing the drugs themselves.

I would like the drugs to stop period.
The war on drugs has been against the suppliersnot the users. The users are being considered victims.
Issue a proclimation that no more illegal drug user will be tolerated.
Any more drugs that can be had after that point will be contaiminated (via goverment blessing).
That will remove the incentive for drug use by the casual user and get rid of the hard-core users that are a drain on society.
People will not know if their pusher is providing clean or dirty drugs until to late.

Good to know you advocate killing people. Sounds like such a bright republican christian idea.
Who the fvck are you to decide that other people don't deserve to live you fvcking a$$hole?
Ahh yes the you watch everyone and everyone watch you thing. Good way to destroy a free thinking democracy because people act differently when they know they are being watched.

No one is saying that they do not deserve to live.
Just that it is easier to remove the demand than the supply.
Find a way to destroy the demand and the problem that illegal drugs create becomes solved.
When people know that there will be serious consequences to their actions; they will re-evaluate.
They got into illegal drugs because it was cool and/or an escape; very few had it forced on them.
Now they become made aware of the consequences of their use. The government can provide de-toxic clinics for those that want to use them and a method for those that wish to continue down the killing path to expedite that choice.
The use of illegal drugs is not benifical to society; why should society suffer the results?

depends on which drug...crack and coke and smack etc do nothing but harm for society...what about recreational drugs?
alcohol is far worse then most of the drugs combined...any friday night is a perfect example seing peeps drunk and smashing sh1t getting all aggro .the only drug you hear about people doing stupid things like drunk folks do is pcp.
pot for example is very useful for medical uses and has never caused a death in recorded human history. would you label it as destructive as smoking a crackrock?
foolish, if so you are a prime reason for more drug education, not victimizaton of the casual user.

sad thing he is, the sad state of the out of touch knee-jerk right with their borderline fascist mentality creeping across this country.
Your way out there on this one Eaglekeeper. Next we should put poison in our beer because some people can't handle alcohol and it's not "benifical to society".
