That's one side of it ,but what about the ones that use it to self medicate. They don't commit crimes they have good jobs take good care of their kids,pay bills and unless you drug test them you would never know they were on drugs. these people may be the minority however not everyone that uses street drugs is a criminal. some of them have clean homes nice cars , well behaved children they just need the drugs to be normal and yet they are thrown through a system that refuses to give them legal drugs that work but want to sedate or make them a zombie.feed them anti depresants or phychotopical drugs. They give speed to kids with add every day but if you have ever used it to self medicate you are addicted and can not get the drugs that are legal and will work for them.
