You're right, but it does eliminate most all users so addicted they're will to prostitute themselves, steal, or kill. The recreational users will still exist, but a similar solution can work there using needle parks. That would leave only club users and, given those other solutions work, you could even come up with something similar there. To answer Nick - yes the government would be providing housing to non-productive members of society but it gets 3 major benefits for its money: 1.) Direct access to the addicts for the purposes of treatment. 2.) Elimination of the associated costs of crime those addicts commit for drug money. 3.) Drop in crime associated with the drug dealers that used to supply those drugs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:209915 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
