Your tone is pretty harsh, karen. Harsh? How so? If it was because I said you didn't answer my questions, I was just playfully batting that back to you from our most recent discussion when you made the same point to me. I'd suggest you check with any good rehab professional to see what she/he thinks. Also, be sure to talk to the local judges so you can see what the current situation is, and what they think of legalizing the drugs. We were talking about the costs. You expressed concern about them in response to the issue of drug legalization. I'm asking why you're concerned more concerned about costs under legalization. Do you have any reason to believe that a rehabber would charge more under legalization? And what could a local judge contribute to a discussion on costs? I might be FOR legalizing drugs IF the person that uses, is willing to pay ALL costs for his/her care if he/she becomes addicted Again, what difference does legalization make to that question. We can make people pay their own costs either way or we could support them either way. What do you see as a rationale for making legalization dependent upon changing the payer paradigm?
