Being an addict is not a crime.
Being jailed for possession is being jailed for the crime of possession of an illegal/controlled substance, whether or not one thinks the law is reasonable or fair, that is NOT the same as being jailed for being an addict.
The system isn't perfect and much injustice occurs...in both directions.
Let's keep working towards recovery for addicts, and justice for all.
