Yes, you have a point, as things stand today. The weak get slammed by the justice system for holding what they need to stave off the pain of withdrawl, while at the same time they spiral down further with each hit.
It seems to me that the only two long-term choices we have here is to either abandon the fight - and so no more petty police harrassment - or adopt the Singapore solution - no more drugs available, as the dealers are all dead.
LOL! I think you’re right.
And brings the rest of us into the same hell.
