Bruce Willis has said he believes the US government would better off focusing on the reasons people take drugs instead of just punishing those that do.

Bruce, who has previously spoken out about the need for improved foster care, told Playboy magazine recently that despite the amount of rehabbing going on: “Drugs and alcohol aren’t bigger problems in Hollywood than anywhere else. They’re everywhere.”

“Also, one drug is still advertised everywhere you look - at every sporting event, in every magazine. More people are killed by drunk drivers every years than by anything else. The problem is largely ignored.”

“The big problem is the reasons people have for wanting to anesthetize themselves. We fight it the wrong way.”

“The war on drugs is a joke. If somebody weren’t making money off cocaine traffic or drug traffic in general, it wouldn’t exist.”
