re: #54 Sharmuta

I don’t see why they can’t be put in rehab programs as probation if they are otherwise non-violent people. But criminalizing users hasn’t been effective.

My brother went ‘round and ‘round in the “treatment” system for years. Never spent more than a night in jail, no forced institutional stays, just bounced from one rehab to the next…..til he was found dead…of an overdose…in his room…at a rehab house…
Some times you got to lock them up til they’re clean.
