CRACK DOWN ON DRUG USERS

Forget about going after the sellers of all the dope, meth, pills, 
illegal drugs. Why not arrest the users?

I'm really tired of all the rhetoric about drug users being the 
abused ones or victims. Understandably, some are born into the drug 
culture, but the fact is that most people choose to take illegal 
drugs. Seriously, the people buying and using these drugs are the 
ones causing such great damage to our country. They should all be 
punished. Let the drug users pay the price with being in jail or 
prison and not in rehab centers.

No one forces them to use; they are just stupid people who don't care 
one ounce about themselves or their families. Surely I'm not the only 
one who feels this way. Punish the users to the full extent of the 
law and drug dealers will cease to exist or at least be financially 
hurt. Where are you, politicians? Make this issue a cause. Stop the users!
