But then again, where do we draw the line? What about alcoholics? Should they be shipped of as well? Drink is probably as harmful as a lot of drugs, but for some reason legalised (I'm going for the tax revenue!). if we look at drink, what abou the social drinkers, that NEED to have a drink every weekend. Is that an addiction or just a habit? And for this kind of substances, is there a difference.
Then of course we have addictions to pre-scribed medication. Then we can cover glue sniffers.... we live in an addictive soceity, some addictions are tolerated, some are not. Education obviously doesnt do the job, thats been tried and tested. I actually think a lot of people (especially youngsters) turn to drugs in desperation. If we gave them hope, then maybe that would break the habit?
Sorry entwisi, wasnt a go at your post, more thinking out load lol
