Yeah, but do you think that the war on drugs has done anything to curb your
friends' appetites for destructive behavior? Do you think they need help or
need jail time? Do you think that if you'd have gotten arrested during your
experimentation, you'd have had your change of heart and gotten cleaned up?
Because that's what this war on drugs implicitly says: "Jail time will cure
your addictions and your foibles." It's complete and total bullshit. Jail
is not an effective deterrent against drug use (if you need any proof, look
at our prison population increases over the past two decades). We need
rehabilitation for people with serious problems. People need to be lifted
up and shown that real life is still worth living.
