So you're saying that everyone should be allowed to do these things that we know are terrible for people, which are highly addictive and kill them, and create crime and chaos, but that will all be alleviated by offering "treatment"?
Well how do you propose creating a path for them to stop using other than treatment?
We know after 50+ years of the WOD that jail does not work for this goal.

Why is that the responsibility of normal functioning americans?
Listen, i know we can't just turn a blind eye to the problem, but the problem (hard drug use) seems to grow when there is no deterrent (laws) and then who has to clean up the mess? The users typically can't afford it... so it's left to non-users who pay their taxes.

1) Continue to offer treatment, I never suggested taking that away
2) Don't condone it in the first place

It works for preventing people committing crimes as a result of doing or selling drugs from harming others. Offer them treamtent in jail.
