>> Wait, we're going to have addicts that are working as professionals? This tends to make me think I was right to think legal drugs will be a civil rights issue. We already do. Of course we do. I know you may find this shocking but not all drug addicts are unable to function in every day life. If Rush Limbaugh can go on the air for three hours a day and command the largest audience in talk radio without anyone having the slightest clue, I can assure you that addicted people can be physicians, attorneys, accountants, engineers, or pretty much any other profession. >> I suspect we can blow just as much paying for rehab as we do on law enforcement. I doubt it, but at any rate, you will have some who are cured and go on and lead productive lives. >> Assuming anyone goes to rehab .. most people who do so now do it cause the legal system makes them. That's not "rehab". Courts often order people to attend drug/alcohol programs of one kind or another, but not rehab, which is a different thing that generally involves real treatment.
