>> But if it were legal, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble unless people found out or something bad happened and people found out. I would argue that if a person is doing their job, while addicted, you're better off with that person being productive than throwing them in the slammer or whatever. >> The lady you spoke of isn't working in her career ... basically because people found out. People could hire her if it didn't matter to them. People can't hire someone who has been put in jail. And an accountant with a drug felony might as well have been convicted of robbing a bank. She's a permanent ward of the state, even if she stays clean. I think we have two radically different perspectives on it. I do not see drug addicted people as true criminals unless they have committed violent or property crimes. I see them as victims of a law enforcement system that is out of control. >> And its much more expensive. And harder work for the addict. I would just have to refer you once again to the results that have come out of Portugal.
