...and I carry a .45 in case someone tries to make it my problem. Why do "WE" have to keep throwing money at a problem that effects so few people? My kids aren't addicts. One is a deputy sheriff, one is career military - both productive, tax paying members in society. I did my job. Why do I have to pay for other people's failures? BTW, tougher drug laws will do nothing. We don't have the backbone to enforce the existing laws. When we release someone from prison who is arrested again, and then sentence them to probation, the system is simply not doing its job. I say legalize all of the junk and then hold people responsible for their own actions. An addicted armed robber is first and foremost an armed robber. Lock him up for a long, lonnnngggggg time! Warehousing addicts is just as effective at keeping society safe, and far cheaper than endless rehab cycles.
