If we'd treat drug addiction as a medical problem, provide

we wouldn't have to keep building new prisons.

Or better yet, as a friend of mine suggested, replace the current tangle of
state and Federal drug laws with just one: "Here's a list of the stuff we
don't like. If you're caught with anything on the list, whatever you have, you
gotta eat."

Possession of small quanitities for personal use would be effectively
decriminalized. And narcotics dealers would receive an instantaneous death
sentence. Either way, society wins.
