Oh and btw, heroin use is up in teens in the Northeast because of the drop in prices.
I would like to read the study or article you took that from.
Is that really the reason? Do you believe that drugs being illegal prevents people from using them?
Doesn't that kind of refute your logic on high prices?
No, not at all. Not in the least bit. You were not able to understand the point I made and are now going off on a tangent. Go back and read it again.
I don't know why you couldn't understand in my first post that treatment not prison is the best option.
Then why are you opposed to decriminalizing drugs like Portugal did?
For some jail is an option to wake them up,
Do we jail alcoholics? Jailing addicts for being addicts is beyond stupid.
that was my point from my point of view with first hand experiences which is why I am contributing and have the opinions I do.
I think your opinion is in line with people that run for profit prisons.
We have the largest per capita prison population in the world. The amount of prisoners in this country has gone up 800% since 1980.
Have Americans become 800% more criminal in that period?
