Actually, I'm against both prison AND treatment for drug users and sellers. I say just leave people alone who are leaving others alone. If someone commits an actual crime while on drugs,fine, then arrest and prosecute them. But drugs in and of themselves should not be criminal, but they also should not "entitle" anyone to any free treatment.
What you have to say is about as useful as two boils on a butt cheek. Society will never leave drug abusers alone.
Our choice is: prison at one end of the spectrum, nanny government rehab and coddling at the other, with a combination of the two in between.
If my money is going to extorted from me and flushed down the toilet in the direction of these losers, I vote that prison be included in their future.
It's the least they could suffer for inconveniencing the rest of us.

Here's a great quote from another WOD thread:

So who said treatment had to be mandatory?
