This seems like a very important topic for you. Did you end up being criminalized & thrown in jail for your crack addiction before?Sure it did. We treated addiction as a criminal problem instead of a medical one. Instead of getting addicts treatment, like you would for any other disease, we gave them criminal punishment... and we've been doing that for 50 years, we've increased our prison population from 200,000 in 1970 to 2 million today.
People are going to get high, particularly if their lives are otherwise pretty miserable. Where the drugs come from is besides the point, whether it be China, Mexico, Columbia or some Trailer Park in Jesusland.
