No argument with your basic point. The question is how do you minimize the cost?

There is a hard core of addicts who will not get help, who will never shake the monkey on their back. The less we spend on them, the better. Jails are very expensive places, a precious resource if you will. Junkies don’t merit jail unless and until their violent conduct forces the issue.

With our current crowd of sue-happy anti-religious malcontents, and widespread skepticism, sometimes help that is worth a dime isn’t even allowed to get near the people who need it.

Amen! The less we spend on ANY drug users, addicted or not, the better.
