        for starters, their country is about 2/3 the size of Florida so that is a bit easier to handle drug issues.

        my point exactly. the challenges of a Federal Gov’t to handle a national drug issue that has various contexts across a major country.

        I think I would favor this. rather see drug addicts treated than jailed. Rather see families fighting addiction than prisons over-filled

        I do agree that drug addiction does not make a person a criminal, but crimes committed by addicts must be addressed. Legal drugs: NO
