I agree with that statement.
Also keep in mind that most people who use drugs recreationally are NOT "addicts". Just like most people who like to get drunk on the weekend are not "alcoholics".
All the money spent and lives being ruined (talking about the people who don't have a "problem" but got arrested with a bag of coke or weed on a Friday night by the Gestapo...er, I mean cops).
What good does it really do society to arrest Willie Nelson for smoking pot? Or the 19 year old guy in college who gets arrested for an eight ball?
It's crazy in my opinion. And it probably is 100% related to the multi-billion dollar prison industry more than anything else.
