IMHO the "failed war on drugs" has created more problems than it has solved.
The only reason it fails is because the taxpayer funds the criminal....
Restitution and labor, folks.
Right now, we fund recidivism, rehab programs, education, welfare, medical, legal and support addicts and law breakers. Jail time IS NOT making anyone money because law breakers ARE NOT "paying" for anything.
Getting a Fed. grant for building a jail sure looks like a windfall, but it isn't.
Make THEM pay or work.....or die in the streets.
Its not complicated, why do people think we always need to spend more money, then cry out to legalize stuff because the law is "failing"?
