        Maybe because it isn't the gov't's problem, it's on individuals to clean themselves up and STOP USING.

        How about state lawmakers deal with it. Drug policy is not a power of the federal government.

        A group of knuckleheads making really poor life choices voluntarily need to find some responsibility and stop using and stop whining.
