Alcoholism by itself is not a crime, I am not sure why drug use should be.
I will not pretend to be an expert in how to treat drug addiction and I would give the death penalty to non-addict dealers.
But as for the users and addicts themselves - I am not sure who is well served by them being treated as criminals and having criminal records.

Do you think an addict shouldn't be held responsible leaving a used

***** or new to the world.. adults need to take some responsibility for their actions. The topic could be debated round and round for infinity.. so i'll just leave this in the hat and split..lol
