America Considers a Change in the War on Drugs

[treid100182]

TREATMENT, and the ability to get it, is the MOST important tool in cleaning up the drug mess...

...America needs to give her children an affordable way to save themselves, rather than spend more money on prisons...

...Incarceration does NOT save people...it destroys them.

Does anyone know what the relapse percentage is for drug addicts?

[snarby21]

2/3 relapse. 1/10 people are alcoholics or dependent on drugs. if more focus was put on education and treatment then relapse rates would probably decrease. and just cause relapse rates are so high doesn't mean these people should be locked up. drug abuse is a victimless crime, unless of course you drive or commit crimes under the influence.

@snarby21 can you show any references to further prove your claims?
