There is a solution to the drug problem that is clear, simple, and wrong. As you put it, there is no magic bullet. However I hope we can all agree that the current war on drugs isn't working. We've been fighting it since (before) 1971, and prohibition isn't working. People are dying, and have been for decades.
Just like we admit that 100% uptime is impossible, and admit that there's no solution that will make that possible, we instead work to minimize 500s to an often respectable number of nine's. Similarly, there is just no solution to the evils of addiction.
What we can practice, however, is harm reduction, and injection sites have been one method that has been in use in Europe for decades.
Can we agree that the drug war is a failure, and work on supporting harm reduction techniques?
