The Tipping Point in the War on Drugs

As explained in the novel 'Tipping point: How small things can give big impact', any trend, movement, social behavior, even even the virus infection process has an overall trend line . It is a parabola. The trend line starts from scratch, extends to exceed the first critical point, and then spreads like a forest fire. After that, this trend gradually became apparent (Galdwell, 2000). Then the trend gradually declines before reaching the next tip, suddenly loses support and loses memory.

The first point is relatively controversial. In recent years, it is clear that the drug war has had a huge negative effect in several countries around the world, especially in Mexico. Similarly, one study found that drug abuse violence stagnated Mexico's average life expectancy - and for men the average life expectancy in Mexico will decline after several decades of growth. In the case of heroin, Rawls believes that many opioid users can satisfy their desire by smelling opium. However, as illegal markets have turned into more powerful heroin, they mainly do not have this option. Therefore, according to Transform's model, smoked opium is easier to obtain than heroin - Rawls recognizes that people use drugs anyway, but as they promote safer use of these medicines

One of the most confusing aspects of war against drug policy is to classify cannabis as Schedule I drug. This is comparable to hard drugs such as heroin and hallucinogens. This means that children selling pots at school may be accused of as much prison time as heroin settled. Nonetheless, the session faces a very different political situation with the 2017 cannabis problem. Nationalization has been legalized in the eight provinces and the District of Columbia, and in the other 29 provinces it has been approved for medical use. According to Mr. Forbes, the legalized hemp industry is increasingly strong as a result, with total sales exceeding $ 6.7 billion in 2016 alone. The industry is growing rapidly and is projected to grow at 17% per year. By 2020, marijuana is expected to produce more employment than manufacturing. The industry also brought reliable tax revenues to the state and last year Oregon brought $ 60 million
