Marijuana will only see its day if it becomes legalized for responsible adult use, of the H.R.#5843- Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine, are all drugs that cause severe addition, both physically & mentally.  Those should be banned, imo.  Should we send repeated offenders to jail?  No.

I would rather have something like InSite that Canada has, where we can progress these individuals off of they're addictions.  If "Alcoholism" is a disease, why isn't being addicted to crack cocaine, or heroin?  Medically, and logically, it does not make sense. 

Crime is committed by addicts or pushers addicted to money.  Yes, money itself is an addiction.  Most individuals who ARE arrested for drug crimes is simply for possession.  On a "group" I'm the moderator of on a septate webspace, (cough) my research has found that in 2005 on average of minimum convictions in my state (which my state has the harshest drug law pertaining to 1st time offenders for marijuana) costs the  taxpayers $477m a year in my state alone.


Here is the excerpt,

"Taking the average $62.05 a day, for 365 days gives us a total of $22,648.25 per year, per person. Lets take the average of 21,062 inmates a year [based on 2005 averages per county, added then averaged again] on possession charges times the average cost per inmate annually, leaves us with a bill of ..

$477,017,441.5 [$447m] yearly to ourselves as tax-payers with the check to sign."

////////////////     

This is based solely on if the maximum for a 1st offender, which is a year in jail, is given.  Its usually a few days in jail w/ a full-fledged promise to show up in court & probation for a year; but that still entails the need to have a paycheck for Probation Officers & court hearings.  That figure was not figured in due to lack of materials needed to compile.

But you get kinda the point, right?  I don't feel I should have to pay for johnny jackass in jail, but I still do.  Especially don't feel I need to pay for him to live in jail for being arrested for an oz. of missy jane, you know?  Or a medical patient in CA should have to go to jail.  Things like this need to end.
