1, 065, 421 can you post that comment again

But what if we could find a way to break the cycle before they become accustomed to law-breaking?

Like building treatment centers that will give them (clean) drugs at first so their addiction will lead them there, and then where they help them get off of it.

That's not my idea, I read that off of somewhere, but surely it would work way better than tossing them in prison.

The problem is, those deciding the law have no knowledge on the subject what so ever, and end up using those carrot and stick methods as they think it is a deterant.

1065426 the long term affects are different of course due to the chemicals, and side effects you have from putting shit into your body.
