Where I work half the people use pot and crack! In downtown Peoria, IL.
drugs especially crack cocaine is easily available 24/7 and in the small
surrounding towns speed is also rampant. Hows that for drug enforcement?

But how many billions are spent on enforcement that doesn't get
anywhere. Why even bother busting kids with a cigarette's worth of
pot? Your taxes are already going to the 'war on drugs' and that
money isn't being wisely spent.

Neither should be tolerated and those found using should be helped
medically, not jailed.
Do you want your taxes raised in order to pay for the repetitive
medical treatment of those who abuse themselves willfully? I don't.
I don't see any free alcohol abuse treatment centers either.
Remember, those in jail for drug abuse are but the tip of the
iceberg. People need to take ownership of their own problems and
learn self control. Don't expect kid-glove treatment on my dime.
