NO. That's my first and probably 2nd, 3rd, and 4th answer. Any repeat offended gets very long jail time!

However, to show a gentler side: How bout the State offer those "addicts" that get caught breaking the law one and only one chance to "get clean." The State then pays for ~30 days of confinement, counsellings, anti-drug drugs, etc. All this should be through Cold Turkey.

Once released, heck the State can even supply the former addict a temp. job to get his confidence back and all. Dag, I sound like a liberal but I'm just trying to offer another way. Like jambutty says other ways haven't seemed to work very well.

Over here in my area its crystal meth. that is really destroying people. Supposedly one of the most addictive drugs. These addicts will do absolutely anything to get their next fix. Very sad!
