As someone who spent many years in the United States (Arizona) Prison system, this is a great step forward. Although it still won't stop drug users from committing crimes to get their next fix.
- lb1lf 9y agoIt won't, but then again - petty crime is not a necessary consequence of an excessive drug habit; it is a consequence of drugs being illegal and the associated cost of obtaining drugs of dubious quality. We can greatly reduce drug-induced petty crime by legalising (most) drugs - some will call that a surrender; I won't.
