3 strikes then they go to jail, that is what I think would be of better service to the public and the addict.
I wonder what is next offering to pay for their needles so they can get high when no one offers to pay that in taxes for diabetics who have a legitimate reason for needing to use needles...
I see what making alcohol and cigarettes legal did to people I sure don't want that with more serious drugs.
I agree with tax money being put toward mental health but in what way would you want that done? I'd like to hear your opinion on that.

Every place where decriminalized and/or legalized drugs has taken place,
crime and drug use has been reduced - chalk it up to human nature and
common sense.
Three strikes of which I am no fan, is a thread all it's own.
Jail is the worst place for a drug addict and other non violent offenders.
We already have needle programs to pass out free, clean needles to heroin
addicts as not to pass along infection, Aids, or Hepatitis B. That's a good
thing
Drug rehab programs for harder drugs can be paid for by taxing the legalized
and/or decriminalized drugs at the state level.
The same way one pays alcohol or cigarette tax now for health programs.
Sure, we can keep asking the same old question,
Is marijuana like a potato chip, can you have just one
,
but "gateway drug", way over reach.
Alcohol & cigarettes have done far more damage to folks
than M ever could, and STILL I would not want those drugs
illegal.
Hemp should never have been on any prohibition list. An amazing plant that
economically would be THE amazing grace for our country....
