Oh don't get me wrong
There's no way this would realy work without some form of pretty major social policy change - focusing on some of the more unpleasent aspects of society that most of us don't realy like thinking about - mental health issues, poverty gap ect... I'm just saying that decriminalisation and supply of cheap and clean alternatives would mean that junkies are not criminalised on top of their other problems and don't have to commit various crimes to fund their habit.

It's a difficult one
I think I'm probably just a bad person, because I have less sympathy in this instance. Other addictions you can see how they start things like alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, even cocaine etc. Smack and crack are a bit beyond my comprehension. Regardless it is society that needs to be fixed, rather than what is essentially a 'make life easier' for the junky fix

Ah. Well I guess it depends
And I do totaly agree with you. There are aspects of our society that realy do need changing. Trouble is how to go about it. I personaly think that decriminalisation would be a rather usefull tool if it's combined with certain other social reforms.
