Legalizing drugs only eases the bulging prison population temporarily, a drug addict will STILL commit crime to support his habit whether it is legal or not!

Legalizing drugs only eases the bulging prison population temporarily Oh no, BP. I think you greatly underestimate how many people are in prison over drug convictions. I'll tell you what... if everyone in prison on a drug conviction were released tomorrow, nearly half of all the prisons in the country would close down. Why would a drug addict commit crimes to support his habit if he didn't have to?

I have to disagree with that statement. My husband works in rehabilitation and correction ... executive level and they review the stats all over .... the majority is not drug convictions.
