I'm all for chopping of the dealers hand..if you are right handed the hand goes...maybe if the court system started to get a little rough with them this will stop

Why can't your son pay? I bet he is able to work somewhere. I would not care if he got help by the gov't, but he needs to work. I thank you for saying addict..if it were a disease you could get something from the gov't.

I live with 4 drug addicts an ex-addict and an acholic.I have never been on drugs but my three kids are all addicted to something.My husband is also addicted after an accident which disabled him for life.The moral of my thought is that only the poor on welfare and the rich can get substance medical help ,I'm 45 yrs old and have never had substance abuse coverage for my family but now my one son is now disabled with none the less than drug induced major mental disease.Caused by meth.So who pays?

Don: They have a lot of customers. They don't pay taxes. They live off sugar-mamas or long suffering aunts. I went to highschool in a rich suburb. It was an opium den! Why? The kids there could afford it! The "drug free zone" signs always make me laugh. Oh really!? Drug free!? Wow. The Amish are drug free. Home schoolers are drug free. High schools? Uhhh, no. Thank you for playing, but no.

I don't see how people can afford these drugs. With gas at $4.15 a gallon. It's crazy. Do you suppose that the dealers are raising their prices to reflect the inflaction we are seeing?
