"so that I don't have to pay these druggies' rehab costs"

a lot of pot rehabs are forced into it, having to choose between jail or rehab...so make it legal and you'll see a drop in rehab, at least, for pot...

Rehab isn't the only expense. Hospitals get clogged with hard drug ODs. Sharing needles leads to infections. Most of these end up in taxpayer-funded health care facilities, and their numbers will shoot up (no pun intended) if drugs get legalized.

Once again, the draw of legalization is decreasing government spending. Unless I can be certain that government spending will actually drop as a result of legalization, I have zero reason to support it. Therefore, get government out of the health care business first.
