Those small plastic bags-
1. Make it a federal law that there can be no plastic bag under 2' by 1.5' (or there abouts).
2. Develop plastic that melts when drugs are placed in them or wrapped around them.
3. Develop a stain that transfers to the user if they hold or are near drugs that are in plastic.
4. Tax all plastic- the ones that cover drugs. Go up to say 400% of processing fees for all plastics.
Those drug runners-
Flip them. Pay them HALF of what they make running drugs. Not as informants, but as students making 80% or better grades. This would cutdown on deaths of minorities and increase the graduation rates in America. And, offer adult ed. classes to the same individuals until they have a "career" that assists them long term.
Those dangerous "ghetto" neighborhoods-
Award neighborhoods block grants in the form of housing rejuvenation and adult and child education when a block of residents ensure there is less arrest. Set the goal to 20% reduction in arrest from neighborhood for one calendar year and withdraw the stipend if it becomes 19.99%.

The other 2 ideas are solid, but in the end, treatment is the best option.
I do think having the federal government design bags that melt stealthy is sensible.
Yes, there are balloons, but the distribution or contact accessibility is highly restrictive in a non-lucid state.
Yes, there are other methods of holding drugs, but then DEA has point-of-access to paper and wax and small bottles manufacturers and distributors. You could lessen drug flow by limiting containment accessibility. I'd say it'd be dramatic.
And, thanks. Always like ideas. Mine. Yours. ALL.
