Wish I could answer that question, Tim. I don't know. But professionals in the area will be answer it for you. I don't know how many rapes are committed each year by druggies...don't know how many unwanted babies are born to druggies.... don't know how many of those babies are abused....don't know how many children grow up with someone else other than their parents....don't know how many of these children born to druggies die. Or are killed. Don't know how many explosions in meth labs kill people, nor how many people are killed in these places every year. Don't know how many robberies are committed each year by druggies. IF drugs are made legal, I would assume they would cost money ... right? Would they be controlled so that children under 18 (or pick an age) couldn't get them? What are the effects now of using drugs, and how do they affect the body? Will these effects go away because the drugs are legal? How will the druggies get the money for their drugs if they are legal. Currently, many of them steal items and money to support their habit. Do you think the drugs will be cheaper in price if they are legalized? I'm not being totally sarcastic....I'm really asking for questions to be answered for my own info. I don't know. I only have talked with MANY former druggies who know every single day they used was just plain hell.....and most of them know that it is possible on every single day, they will relapse. The questions I ask are some of them that have been asked by the actual users..... I just have repeated them. Again, talk with the heads of the rehabs, the hospitals, and the police and judges....they will tell you what they think. Maybe the drugs should be legalized. But there will have to be a complete "re-think" of the entire problem statement....
