Decriminalize drugs, create ways for addicts to get their fix without creating the elicit market forces that make drug running so lucrative, when you bring in crack and cocaine into the US you see a 650% jump in profits, it's clearly the illegality of these substances and much like opiates that we already control for medical procedures these substances could easily be "legalized" destroying a lot of value of smuggling, etc. You can point to prescription pill mills and gangsters selling pain meds, but that trade in itself is much less dangerous. In the end, it's going to take more than arming the citizenry or militarizing the border.
