Which do you think is the better solution on drugs and substance abuse?



A. Jail or incarceration for drug abusers
B. Correction, rehabilitation and treatment facilities

Which do you think is far more effective?

In my opinion, B is more effective. Deviants need correction.Also, the cause of such deviance needs to be tackled. Deviants failed to internalize the group norms.They are not normal psychologically.They need treatment.However,depending upon the degree of deviance, seggregation from the society can be considered.Also, detection of these deviants should be prompt, total, and the measures adopted should be uniform.If few of them are only detected and corrected out of many, then it may not be effective.Similarly, if one punishes also with jail term, if few of them are punished here and there , then also the problem will not be solved.
Death to user and seller.
21 year terms for drug sellers and producers--no plea bargaining, nothing--just the 21 years. Make it so no one will profit from selling drugs. And 1 year medical rehab for all substance abusers. If they go back on drugs again, then they get 5 years in a jail with rehab. facilities.

This war can be won.
I say B would be more effective. cos it would slowly put he abuser off the drug.
I think public executions of drug dealers would really curtail their activities. Jailing and incarcerating users isn't very effective, and for treatment to work, people have to want to change.

Public executions of dealers would really put a crimp in things, don't you think?
I can see why someone would want to say 'B.'

I do not agree. I will have to go with 'A' because the only way someone is going to stop doing drugs is if they want to. For crying out loud, I saw a man do two lines of coke sitting at the bus stop yesterday when I was walking out of work. AT THE BUS STOP! DOWN TOWN! and right across the street from a daycare center. These people don't want help they want drugs and putting them in rehab isn't going to stop that. Unless you can make rehab last more then a generic 30 days. Maybe a year or two in rehab. I still have to go with 'A' if they want treatment they can get it at the jail not some comfy rehab facility.
Jail isn't what it was meant to be anymore. Jail does nothing for its inmates except make them worse. Sure, it may keep them off the street for a while but what about when they get let out again?

Rehabillitation shouldn't just be fore drug abusers, but molesters, rapists, and any other person with these types of problems. Jail does nothing but worsen their conditions. Period.
