So you're going to give people the choice between jail and drug abuse hospice for marijuana or alcohol possession?
Why not simply follow the Constitution and let each state regulate intrastate drug policies?
I did not mention what to do about legalizing MJ. Alcohol is legal; DUI is not.
Your point about the states is interesting. Maybe a state could set up their own hospice system. I hear a lot of “the states are laboratories for trying out new policies”.
What I envision is a hospice for the most serious drug addicts who are the ones causing the most problems in our society.
BTW, when I came up with the idea, I was sure that it was original. Then I found out that Denmark already does something similar.
