Treatment instead of jail. I voted Yes!
 Quoting: Seer777




Same here. Makes room for the real criminals in prisons and jail, less tax dollars used towards small time drug offenders in jail etc.

Its a highly libertarian move.

I have seen numerous druggies and junkies in real life over the years. It matters not about decriminalization of once illegal drugs. The druggies and junkies both just want their drugs. Let them off themselves. Most of them do not want to be healed. They may want to be healed in their next lifetime or that may take multiple lifetimes before they want to even start to heal.

Your anecdotal evidence really has no bearing on the statistics as a whole.

A lot of people get clean and go on with their lives as productive citizens. A lot of people who end up homeless, end up getting their lives together..usually with some help.

Some times people can't help themselves, and we have resources they can reach out to, for help. I personally cared for a child whose mother used meth into her 3rd trimester, but then sought treatment for the last couple months and over the proceeding 3 years, became a dental assistant. She is success story I have personal experience with.

Don't sell people short because they are at a low point in their lives. A lot of people get clean and stay clean. Often for the love they have for their kids.

Hilarious, Seer777. Your anecdotal evidence is better than my anecdotal evidence. Therefore you have all the credibility and I have none. Thanks for that, Seer777.

Seeing as more and more statistics are being filled with deceptions of various details planet wide those who blindly believe statistics prove themselves easily duped. You may have to spend the next some consecutive years sifting through mountains of data for those specific statistics just to confirm them to be legitimate or not these days.

Sure, what I described, Seer777, is most likely just a small town's drug problem and is probably less than a dot on the grand scale of "statistics". Whatever though. I know I am correct. More than likely, Seer777, you are also correct.
