Report says the UN's global 'war on drugs' has been a failure

It's hard to stop drugs from coming into a country with weak borders.

AFTER 40 YEARS SINCE NIXON STARTED WAR ON DRUGS IN 1970....IN 2017 THERE WERE OVER 40,000 DEATHS FROM OPIOD RELATED PROBLEMS.... WORSE THAN EVER; THE USUAL FAILURE BY GOVT!

Useless waste of money

You don't win by raids on deliveries. You neutralize the source. Stop pretending there was a real outcome desired.

Build The Wall.

Really was never destined to succeed

Democrats are the biggest reason the war on drugs in US is a failure.

Not to worry.America has Dea.

commondreams That’s why the war ended last night

UN .... all talk

That is a worrying fact as drugs are destroying too many young lives.

Obama’s fault

Who did that?

Everything the UN does is a failure because it is massively corrupt.

Big surprise....

YOU MISSPELLED 'U.N. IS A FAILURE'

no shit

Uh duh!!

Just when world leaders & human rights advocates were quick to denounce Philippine Pres. Duterte's war on drugs. One of the very few where governments are winning vs drug traders.

Congratulations to drugs for winning the war on drugs...maybe if money wasn't such a motivating factor....

Becuz of people like kamala harris

No our government is a failure realDonaldTrump USgovern

UN is pretty much a failure on anything they try ... move it out of the U.S. and save us money ...

But it was great success in flashing UN officials with craploads of cash....

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, 22 MILLION Americans use illegal drugs. We have become a NATION of DRUGGED out ZOMBIES, and it is all perfectly legal. The 11 largest Pharmaceutical companies combined to rake in approximately $85,000,000,000 in PROFITS!

UN needs some help itself not very effective

People has been getting fucked up as long as there has been people on earth so save your money

decriminalize...

WELL... WHEN YOU HAVE OPEN BOARDERS.....WHAT DO YOU EXPECT IF DEMOCRATS HAVE THEIR WAY THEY WILL DO THE SAME

The War on Drugs is a failure because too much effort was spent on Supply versus Demand. As long as there is a demand for drugs, there will always be a supply, even though the prices will rise dramatically. Economics 101.

Failure or Success depending on which side your on?But for Sure it is able to buy Money Corrupt Stooges in the Republican Senate & House! Almost to a person U can Pick the ones Mcgowan,Jordon,Nunez,Ryan,Ditch Mitch!Flake,Collins,Hatch?If I can Tell why can't The Republican Base

Too many people in the UN making money off it

This is something all of us already know, but seriously a global war on drugs?

I hate illegal drugs. 😠

You know what I want to see, I want to see it burning into ashes because I don’t trust it’s gone for good.

Indian Occupation Forces massacre civilans in Kulgam, Kashmir today, leaving 5 dead and dozens more injured.

I see the effectiveness on how the Philippine government handled their war on drugs, it may be a blood bath but considering everything it'll be less total death due to this drug epidemic. It's time to stand up against these drug lords.

Every political scientist who has ever studied military aid and global anti-drug initiates which entirely ignore the social and economic roots of the drug trade. 🙄

Spend the money in areas we can actually fix.. drugs will always be here.. You confiscate a few hundred pounds and thousands more show up.. people are going to do drugs.. let them..

Oh boy

PAID NEWS... 😂😂😂😂😂

Not surprised

corruption more difficult to fight than drug war ?

It's bc the feds take it back to the warehouse and snort the leftovers then forget what their job was.

Just don't do drugs. Don't buy them and they won't be a problem

Tell me how stopping drugs and interfering with human rights is somehow related? Only CNN could see a problem.

Why aren’t you showing the thousands of people coming across Mexico to our border.

Well, no shit? Color me surprised.

Building the wall on our southern border would go a long way to help the problem. Unfortunately that would cut the money supply for the globalists degradation of society which would really piss them off. BuildTheWallNow

weak efforts by an organization ok with the status quo, unable to do what it takes from both sides, the removal of drugs from street side, and the dissasembly of the institutions and groups that are allowed to create the drugs in the first place.

Because a war on drugs is a war against the people taking them. You have to fight for the people taking them.

the UN is ineffective at most things it undertakes

__JackGuy hillylondon Of interest? Let me know if you can't access and I'll send you a copy.

Huh, who’d-a thought? 🤔

Didn't Trump say the U.N was useless too?

There you. I guess the drum beat now will be legalize them all.

Time for a new strategy, legal drugs under Federal control. And harm reduction education in schools! WarOnDrugs

Try digging in the Transcontinital Crime Mob. Trump is Mob.

The headline should read 'The UN Has Been A Failure.'

War on drugs will never stop.... to much money involved....

mean_kitteh D'errr...

As a medical professional who works with opiates and addiction on a regular basis, it is my opinion that we should attempt to follow the lead of Portugal and shift to a treatment model versus a criminal one. It works.

never gunna win this war - legalize and tax the hell out of it.

Pro Iranian narrative of MSM bashing Saudi. What, next 150 billion to Iran? Shipments of advanced weaponry from Iran to Lebanon exelarated. Provocation in consulate involved Iranian infiltration SundayMotivation caravan California bitcoin crypto Cryptocurrency art MAGA

Just legalize everything dont force a mandate to treat od's and let the problems burn themselves out

Because these countries are all in the take

No kidding? The UN’s ______________ has been a failure. Fill in the blank. Enough said.

I’ve been saying this for 30 years.

Wait. The UN had a war on drugs? I must have missed that.

If you were able to take away all the drugs people would use alcohol to kill them self’s. Nobody can ever win.

And you are one if the instigators

Here comes all the couch-potato conspiracy theorists to explain why...

Drug smugglers dont follow the rules; start treating them as enemy combatants this will ckear right up

Maybe we legalize and regulate? Works for alcohol

UN lookwormness on drugs abuse is not good enough & NO tangible results across nations..

Literally everyone already knew this

When the UN's involved what do you expect !

This isn’t breaking news to anybody

Any government controlled system has the same results,failure.

The war on drugs has cost hundreds of billions of dollars. And drugs won. The US is still wasting money on it. We would do better to work on the issue from the demand side, not the supply side.

Prescription opioids...doctor ' ' sanctioned over doses' bullocks.!just let the drugs in! Tighten regulation on distribution and reap the tax benefit. It's happening anyway, street corner or local pharmacy!!!

You made so strict rules on borders and on airports to not let any one in with drugs in your country, actually you are trying to make it precious unaccessable and costly Bcz you own it

People love drugs and guns, especially in America.

CNN who the heck are you fooling...Top Cats...you believe in open borders..now...now...you mention drugs? I'm sorry...your ridiculous beyond resolve.

While they receive billions of dollars !! Absolutely obsolete !!!

Shocking.

This is all because we elected a RACIST HOMOPHOBE into office! We need to impeach45

War on drugs Where? Hard core mind altering drugs are advertised every minute of every day on nearly every network across the USA, including CNN. Many of these drugs with SUICIDE side effects. America promotes drug use for profit. After all, Drugs are the D in FDA Rx

Maybe realDonaldTrump POTUS was right after all.

The drug war is over. Guess who won.

The UN in general is a failure.

We have a border problem. Or don't you have eye's

Duh the drug trade is owned and managed by the 1% who own 99%of the wealth. The little fool on the streets gets caught but the big fishes in ties enjoy the benefits. Go figure!!

I was just talking about it, good one cnni

That is an understatement. The UN is the world's hub for HumanTrafficking and should be dismantled immediately and its leaders jailed.

Shocker.

Well you guys all forgot to tell the CIA there was a war on drugs to....they've been acting a fool.

Well, can't be called a failure when someone earned the money.

let me guess .. its gonna be legalized?

THERE IS NO WAR ON DRUGS!

For the stock market, jobs report reaction shows bad news is good news nowThe government's nonfarm payrolls report showed growth of 155,000. Though that's still a pretty healthy level of gains this late into an expansion, it could be enough to make the Fed hesitate about its plans to keep raising interest rates. Because the Fed might slow down on hikes? That's my guess & terrible if that's the case. Rates need to keep moving up.

Watch CNN anchors report on their own office being evacuated over pipe bombThe Time Warner Center, which houses CNN’s office in New York City, was evacuated after a pipe bomb arrived on Wednesday. The package was similar to the ones sent to Hillary Clinton and former President Obama. While CNN’s anchors had to leave the building mid-broadcast, they continued to report from the ground on the developing situation. Drama much? 🤦‍♀️😂😂 It appears CNN needs to train their mail room on handling suspicious packages. Laying it out on the desk and taking photos of it wasn’t wise. The FBI likely isn’t happy a photo of the device was posted on social media before they started investigation. good for them to bad it never worked as intended

Google News results favor left-leaning media, report findsPresident Trump has previously accused Google of 'rigging' search results against him to more prominently display negative stories. . That's not how any of this works. Search engines learn what their users request, and adjust accordingly. Google uesrs are left-leaning. For the same reason, Yahoo and Bing return racist suggestions and results. Investigate before parroting someone's flawed report. I thought Google leaned towards what is popular. Oh, it still does. Ever decoded their algorithm? NO surprise
