Just to throw out another angle. What should happen to the drug dealer who is not a user? Isn't that a crime distributing poison to low income communities?? Are they sick people like the addicts themselves? Another question to ask if we send them to treatment is what is the success rate? Is it not less expensive to house a person in prison than a failed rehab attempt? Perhaps, the Prohibition Era should back seeing as alcohol is usually a gateway to harder drugs? Seeing how tough States are getting on drunk drivers maybe they should start charging drunk drivers with "attempted murder?" Something drastic, must be done because it is clearly not working.
