It's not appropriate for your teen pot loser but what do you do with violent abusers who spurn treatment? What do you do with a woman who abuses crack or other hard drugs during multiple pregnancies? Sure you can take the children when they're born addicted but what about the next one? And the next?

I know of one local case where, in the past 10 years, she's had at least three (perhaps four now) children born addicted and she still goes forth undeterred, living free like you and I do. All of these children have learning and/or psychological problems directly related to in utero exposer. We should not tolerate this recidivism any more than we should tolerate that of child molesters.

Persistent activities like these along with willfully deceptive exposure of another to HIV should not be treated with kid gloves. Such "compassion" is delusional and destructive.

I understand that the effects of drug use are terrible and still will not advocate the death penalty for users.

The only drug I use is for high blood pressure.
