Why is it government's business to force "worthless druggies" to "straighten out"? And why should I have to pay taxes toward that end?
Chong would probably died already without law enforcement intervention.
What a load of nonsense. His health was in no more danger than a tobacco smoker's ... should we imprison them too?
Because the druggies were breaking the law and attempting to grow their criminality base. Drying out in Jail is just a side benefit. :-)
