Sending to jail is supposed to be a prevention factor, not a cure.
That being said, being an addict is not a crime in most countries. Selling drugs is.
Is it different in the US?
- wonderwonder 5y agoBeing an addict is not a crime in the US but possession of drugs even for personal use is for the most part, exceptions exist for marijuana in some areas. I think history has proven that if you are at the point you are considering using heroin or meth, the threat of incarceration is generally not a deterrent. I don't know that I have the answers, I just don't think that throwing someone in prison is the solution to the drug pandemic. I do agree that dealers should go to jail.
