[QUOTE="deeeznutz, post: 244393, member: 837"] The fact is we are already paying for "rehabilitating" these folks (albeit in a very inefficient way) through prison costs. When you see the numbers of people in our prisons for non-violent drug offenses it's staggering, especially considering how many prisons are run as private for-profit businesses. A much cheaper alternative to incarcerating people is giving them treatment, plus you don't destroy any future hire-ability by giving them a criminal record. This approach would literally cost you less than what we are doing now, on top of the additional tax revenue that would come in as well. Edit: Just want to say I appreciate the open, honest debate on this issue. I'm kind of passionate about this issue, as you can probably tell. It's kind of funny that not a single anti-legalization person has dropped by to leave an opinion. [/QUOTE]
