Neither. Its a waste of money to treat addicts, and its a waste of money to imprison them. should be legalized and taxed like alcohol or tobacco products.
I don't know. I do know that I'm all kinds of messed up and have NEVER had any kind of drug problem. If it is a mental illness it's a far different sort than any I have experienced.
I think so as long as when they’re arrested they aren’t doing anything else like driving under the influence or overdosing with an infant in the house.

Definitely. But drug dealing & encouraging other people to do drugs is another story. They should be punished
It may not be a crime to harm yourself but it's a crime to harm other people, which is what happens when you encourage other people to do drugs
You cannot help someone who do not want to help themselves. You cannot force them in any way, they will still resort to the old ways.
They have to want to get help though nowadays if someone doesn't want help then stop caring about them

Helped. Drug consumption shouldn't be criminalized in the first place.
Yes. Why should it be criminal? Other people's drug use doesn't affect me.
Well it certainly shouldn't be punished, you have no right to tell someone what they can and cannot do with their own body

Yes it should. The reason being the government doesn´t own your body.
The ones that seek help are helped. The ones that think they can get away with it are punished. Everything works exactly as it should.
I would like to do it to keep my mind off of the mental pain. Kinda like a getaway. I’m really considering drugs though.
All drug addicts need to be helped than punished.
They don’t want help. They should be locked up so they don’t harm society.
YES,, to come off which will help them and society. Just giving them the stuff may help the crime figures but does not solve the problem...
They should be helped not jailed and drugs taxed and governed.
Yes, because sometimes what those people nes
Of course it is a disease and they need help!
Users, yes. If they are pushers as well, no.
put an end to punishment for victimless non crimes
