text: So you are saying that an addict can become functioning members of society by getting a job and a home? A job doing what? A baby sitter, a banker, an operator of machinery, a taxi driver? Would you want an addict taking care of your kids? You have been lied to, an addict only cares about their next fix. It is a complete and total waste of tax payers money to fund any program which enables addicts to abuse drugs. Want to save money, don't treat them when they over dose, in short let them die. If their lives are so miserable that they need to abuse drugs as an escape, then leaving them to die is a merciful solution. The war on drugs can be won once all the addicts are dead.
