If it helps break the addiction, I for one am all for it. We pay more for incarceration charges for crimes they commit to support their expensive habits.
It is not all about incarceration, it is about why is there a whole wave of drug abuse that has come back from the drug problem we had in the past! There is no accountability with those that are addicted. Also, most of them should be off the dole, instead the Government keeps on feeding the beast.
