Civis Romanus sum Posted September 4, 2015 Author Report Posted September 4, 2015 Addiction treatment? Who needs addiction treatment? You're thinking of the junkies and alcoholics. Allow me to please clarify. I think the scarcity of addiction treatment is a scandal in our society. And yes, I am thinking of harder drugs and alcoholics. Although it is true I have known 'potheads' who could have used some treatment, as well. I think it would be fitting to use the income from taxing this 'soft' drug to treat the broken lives caused by other drugs, including alcohol. Quote
kimmy Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 I think the distinction between putting the money into general revenue or into addiction treatment is actually pretty artificial. If this money is targeted for addiction treatment, then other government money would be channeled elsewhere accordingly; there won't be an increase in budgets for treatment unless there's a political decision to do so. I'm in favor of legalization. Pot prohibition really only benefits organized crime. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
