Rehab doesn't work. We've had decades of rehab. It hasn't worked. Look at the way the cartels handle it. They execute one another's dealers and customers. The cartels have taken more than 60,000 addicts off the streets permanently.
Rehab doesn't work because the way we do it is a joke, do like in China where they are out in the fields digging ditches, not sitting around a table bitching and moanings about their lives.
I'm not for doing anything the way the communists in China do it. These are the same people who plow right over their own citizens and crush them to death. No ideas from China - thanks... Rehab will work if the program is done correctly, Gravity. I've seen programs that have a good success rate - there is one in Chicago I heard about that is having tremendous success. People need to do their research, do an intervention and help their family members / friends.
I cannot see executing people for selling pot or buying pot. The idea horrifies me. We'd be putting kids on death row. Unthinkable that someone would consider this a solution to solving the drug problems of America. My goodness!
