TREAT DRUG ADDICTION
I know most people may not like what I have to say, but here goes.
We (collectively) are not doing a good job of treating drug
addiction. One example is that of Dr. Graves' patients. If the
Pensacola News Journal reported it accurately, then almost all of his
patients were addicts.
Now, everyone wants to put him in jail and throw away the key, but if
you really step back and look at it, like it or not, maybe there are
not enough drug treatment centers to take care of the demand.
We are being told there is a war on drugs, but where is the treatment
to reduce the demand?
Please think about what I've said, and then let your conscience be your guide.
