Good point Tex...We already pay for enough worthless people that are "takers" in our society to sit on their azz's and contribute little to society. We do not need to fund people going into rehab because they had no self control and broke the law. I'm tired of working day in and day out to support someone else. I have NO tolerance for Meth makers/sellers....Pootsy you can rehab them and send them back out to society if you want (at your expense please) but I wonder how many people these people making and selling affected. How many kids live's did they F* up? They should pay the penalty for that. You do the crime you do the time....A few months rehab does not make these people productive citizens. Look at the stats..MOST would end up back in prison....REHAB MONEY WASTED.
