Re: “Vermont's Prison Chief Says It's Time to Decriminalize Drug Possession”

Yes to decriminalization. No to treatment! Why? Because no treatment has ever been shown to be effective against drug addiction. They only serve to make it worse, typically by telling the victim that they have a disease and/or they are 'powerless' to their 'cravings' and that only leads to more drug use, crime, and suicide. So yeah I think this is great, minus the treatment. Just leave drug users alone and they'll leave you alone. As for the threats of doing drugs and raping your children, that is just the 12 Step cults holding you hostage to their mischief. Also people who commit property crimes whether 'drug-addiction-related' or not must face punishment! Again, 'treatment' has never never never been shown to be effective in the least for reducing crime. (Why? Because drug use, drug 'addiction' behavior, and crime are all choices of free will.)
