Then they wouldn’t commit so many crimes to get the money to pay black market prices. If addicts refuse this fair deal, then you can throw the book at them. This wouldn’t just fight local crime, it would take a big bite out of the international gangs’ money and power.

I consider this to be negligence in an office that is supposed to be focused on the health of our community. They should be ashamed!!

What percentage of those entering these drug rehab programs actually stay off drugs? What is the cost per drug addict? What kind of return are we the taxpayer getting on our investment?
