Imagine someone considering trying meth or crack and thinking "Hmmm, well if it does get out of hand and I get busted, the government will take care of me and give me treatment." That's almost an encouragment to try drugs. |
I really don't understand this reasoning. Why should using certain drugs be an automatic prison sentence? I understand that some drugs are certainly more serious than other.
But using your reasoning do you think that going to some type of rehab instead of prison for a first-time DUI/DWI is almost an encouragement for people to drive drunk?
