“I actually have a very good idea as far as how to manage druggies.
Take a few bombed-out cities like, say, Detroit. Put 3 or 4 of these zones into the US. These are 100% legal drug zones.
If you want to use, you go in there. The entire zone is surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards. You can only enter or leave via several entrances. Near the entrance are a few houses for people who want to leave. If you leave, you stay in the house until you can pee-test clean.
No services are provided whatsoever in the drug zone. You die, your body will lie there and rot. if there’s a fire, it burns until there is no more fuel. No food except what you backpack in. No cigarettes, no water, except what you backpack in.”
Sounds completely unrealistic. Druggies will voluntarily choose to live in a place with no food or water, or services? What legal argument will you use to prevent the druggies that want to leave from leaving? Is it constitutional to forcibly imprison people who have not been convicted? The ACLU sleazebags will have a field day with that.
“If you use and you have NOT checked into a Drug Zone, your life becomes MUCH worse than if you are caught using now, with normal prosecutorial efforts.”
Please elaborate on how their lives will be MUCH worse than the current system. Do you mean worse than going to prison? Hard labor? What?
If you test dirty for a drug and you are not in a Drug Zone, you have the option to have the test done at an accredited lab. If even the Mass Spec test shows you are dirty, you are given the choice between execution, or permanent exile (as a person stripped of all Citizenship) in one of the Drug Zones.
