[QUOTE="BrothaBrown, post: 3510988, member: 578355"] I dont think that opening up shooting galleries would solve our nations drug problem at all. Your saying if they have a legal shooting gallery then people would be more informed about detox facilities and rehabilitation centers. Im sorry, but I believe most addicts already know this. The success rate for addicts going into a rehabilitation center and staying clean for a long period of time without relapsing is 1 in 27. That's not because the rehabilitation center did not do its job thats because it's quite hard for the addict too quit. Some addicts have more in them to quit than others. Most of you in here do not pity the addict but I do. There are circumstances in every addicts case. Do you assume all these addicts chose to live life like this? I dont think so. Society deems all addicts scum of the world but this is just not true. They are just like you and me accept they have gotten themselves in a bad predicament. I guess I am off topic but oh well. There are other programs out there for people on opiates other than rehabilitation centers. They can try and do a methadone program but thats really long and drawn out and sometimes even worse than when they were on heroin. They can also go on a suboxone/subutex program and have higher chancers of success if used for atleast a year in a healthy non abusing way. If an addict really wants to quit really bad he will find the will and power to do it. I do not believe a shooting gallery will solve this problem at all. Some of you may disagree with me but thats my personal opinion. This is a debate and some people have different opinions but this shouldn't turn into a assassination of character. Also, what is the war on drugs? The war on drugs in the us stopping mainly black people for crack cocaine and giving them minimum mandatory sentences for 6grams or more of crack. If you have powder cocaine though the min/man is 500 grams. The war on drugs doesnt start in the United States it starts in countries that mass produce the drug and then ship it off to our country and get our citizens addicted to it. Last but not least. Sending addicts to prison in the united states would cost more money than sending them to rehabilitation centers.
