Exactly so.

If they're holding
up liquor stores that is another matter, but if all they're doing is using a
street drug then prison is a waste of public money. If you have a couple of
shots of Old Overcoat in the evening while watching The Good Guys it doesn't
cause society any problems, ditto if you smoked a joint instead. Let's save
prison for those who actually harm others.

AMEN!
