I'm not talking about marijuana, I am talking about the hard-core drugs like Meth, Crack, etc. I am against drug usage but I have a question. What do you all think that proper punishment should be for abusers and dealers? (EDIT: I am meaning the ones that commit crimes while on the drugs or the ones that commit crimes to get the drugs. And should the dealers be just as accountable because they provided them with the drug?)
I recently watched a documentary about meth, and the officials in Thailand have simply killed off many of the users.
I personally know quite a few meth addicts here in the U.S. that, after serving their sentence for being "busted", have returned to drug abuse. Obviously, rehab and prison isn't working.
According to the website ncvc.org, 81% of crimes are drug-related. What, in your opinion, is the best solution for punishment and what can our authority figures do to get things under control?

But I am given responsibility of potentially millions of dollars every day, and I owe my employer and coworkers the respect of doing the job sober. It's really the same respect I show them by not smoking cigarettes at indoors at work either. I don't immediately promote whatever bad habits I may have in every situation.

I can't pay for that training without money.

Maybe even contemplate whilst I walk:)
