What good does it do for a person to be given a felony conviction and then told to get their shit together and live a good live. How do you get your shit together when you can't get a job other than restaurant server?
The threat, and ultimately the fact, of criminal penalties have shown themselves to have virtually zero downward mitigative effect on drug use. In fact, drug use is up and up by big numbers. It is epidemic in big cities, suburban neighborhoods, and rural towns. No one is immune, and no place, no law, no lecture, no leader, no penalty has been able to slow it down.

I do not quite know what causes this to happen, but as poor as I am getting, I can take a wild ass guess, money? I bet money has something to do with it? Huh? Am I right? Sarcasm at its worst.
Absolutely correct and harder to change, than I have time left to live. Keep up the "righteous fight" Stinky The Clown. Peace.
