Moderation. That is the key to everything.
Drugs aren't addictive. It's a person's personality that gets them hooked. It's just the media likes to put across this image of 'GOOD GOD! HE BREATHED IN A PARTICLE OF WEED AND SUDDENLY WAS SHOOTIN' UP IN AN ALLEYWAY!!', sadly the majority of people are idiots...and believe this.
Legalising would stop a shissen-load of problems...sadly, it'd open the door for a few new ones. From suicide to work days missed.
Do i have a problem with a small minority of addicts finding themselves stuck in a cycle of use, sleep, buy more, use, sleep, buy more? ...no. No i don't.
I think some of the money should be thrown in to rehab clinics, were addicts were FORCED to go. Literally locked in, forced to go cold turkey, given a psych, educated and sent out with a job...if they went back to the drugs after that, they'd get two more chances are rehab.
4th time f*cking it up? They're on their own.
Sadly, because we live in a Democracy, this idea is unlikely to ever happen. Because what happens in a Democracy is that politics turns into a popularity contest, instead of being about doing sh*t to help the country and the people.
