#1 Might curb the narco demand a bit if we had a 'chop-chop' square here in the States.

#2 Only if we chop-chop users as well. Regardless of social standing and status, of course.

#5 Woodrow, if all the right people are correct, then users are chop-chopping themselves. Why intervene, except for the cheap thrill of misplaced do-goodery?

#6 Unfortunately, the users aren't chop-chopping themselves. Just making themselves a burden and a cost to the society around them in the long run. The suppliers and middlemen don't want to kill their revenue generators. They want to keep the money flowing (at any expense as long as there is a profit). They don't care if the user generates the money from 'free enterprise' or from government subsidizes. Money is money to them.

#7 Yep, decriminalise it. It's the best way to make sure the drugs enable people to live their lives safely.
