I agree with you
I've tried to write it like that myself, but you're much better than me.

Eh, To be fair I did focus on stuff like this in my degree
Personaly I beleive that the criminalisation of certain drugs just leads to the development of an underclass of junkies ect. that we can all safely ignore because it's probably their fault right? I mean, it's not like we realy have to consider the bigger picture or some of the slightly more moraly grey areas if we just dismiss them all as dirty junkies robbing grannies and that.

I think that's a bit complex
a lot of them do steal, rob and occasionally kill to fund their habit. And regardless a lot of them did choose to go on the stuff to begin with.

Yes there are problems that need to be sorted, but I don't think painting drug-abusers as merely in need of sympathetic help will work

True.
But I'm not realy saying that we should paint all drug addicts as merely in need of sympathetic help, after all stating that they're all just victims is just putting another label on them, what is needed is intelligent investigation into the problem in the mainstream media, not just one opinion or another that can be eisily summed up with a soundbite.
