Law enforcement doesn't cause increases in addiction, that is absurd.

Then why do you imply it does increase addiction? I certainly never implied nor said that. Gee wiz, I can imply things about you that you never said but I will not stoop to your juvenile level of discourse. I did say, "The WOD has had the unintended consequence of maintaining an elevated level of drug addiction."228 Maintain the same level of drug addiction as it was in 1914, 1970 and 2003 without the WOD the level would be less than the constant 1.3% is has been -- thus the WOD maintains the 1.3% elevated level. In other words, had the trillion-dollars in resources that have been wasted on wagging the WOD been instead redirected to addressing the drug problem as an education and medical problem the addiction rate would have decreased from 1.3%.

To suggest it is not reducing what would have been is ridiculous.
In other country's where they treated it like a sacrament addiction went higher and things got worse by far.

Sure, you got a person dying, don't bust them for pot possession at home unless they are sharing or dealing.

We can't approve of it because you will increase addiction a lot more and in the end if no one were addicted, we would all be better off.

Maintaining an elevated level?

Dance, baby!
