A "CRACK COCAINE!" user to serve a prison SENTENCE! for an ADDICTION! 💉 addiction! is a psychological! factor and should be treated as such! 🧠more money! should be placed in programs of research!

there should be a mandatory life sentence for ANY drug offense
So all this means what?
"There is a crack epidemic!" – Customer of an appliance repair person
He that leads into captivity will go into captivity. black neighborhoods were flooded with crack cocaine by the … CIA while law enforcement busted the low level dealers. While police courts, judges, lawyers, farmers, prisons benefited
The young heat pharmacologically compete because mallet arguably undress about a mere reduction. lame, combative corn
Crack is amazing,-don’t use it,just study it
0mg democrats are useless
Yes I hope Australia follows
Here Here !!
DWI should be ok too….
It’s a choice!
Close the border
People know what it can do but they CHOOSE to do it anyway. So YES it is a choice.
Drug abuse is a choice and not a disease but jail isn't the answer.
«The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave unto Him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Who bare record of the word of GOD, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.»
[Revelation Chapter 1:1-3]
Jakub.
So who's paying for the treatment?
Lol America is a joke weed is fr black ppl while whites love cocaine legalization
Let everyone get high who cares , it will just reduce the population anyhow
You know what I like about Durbin? The fact that he started his statement off by saying that the law made in 1986 was one of the worst votes he ever cast. You know why? Because it shows that HE, unlike, oh let's see… EVERY Republican bag of filth in office, can ADMIT to his mistakes, and can show that he has LEARNED from his errors.
That’s good news , a nice step foreword
Alcoholism is a disease , so do the drunk drivers get a free pass too ?
Arrest the dealers or give them death and help the drug addicts. Simple the cartels in Mexico are a Notable example.
That's because the political dancers are big secret users…
Omg, George Floyd would still be alive 😆🤣
Now let's see what happens now that all these legal Marijuana places are opening up.
Shout out to George Floyd on thirteen months of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals🖕
How about a law making drug addiction a public health problem, and not a criminal one, so that people can get treatment, instead of prison sentences? Hmmmm?
I thought Obama did this years ago?
George Floyd used to give li ber al men head for crack money 💰
Well said! Amazing. Legalize it like caffeine.
because CIA was bringing it in while prosecuting low end dealers. notice the DEA grows just as fast drug busts. the drug problem will continue
That’s amazing!
Well that’s good news for Gaetz!
