Based on one University study, just like the existence of WMD was.

Conspiracy? I never said that. Facts? What facts? Ever heard the phrase lies, damn lies and statistics?

Anyway, let's make this the new way to deal with anyone with any dependancy (the main target here surely) - charge em more for it, Wonderful thinking. Increase the misery coz they deserve it, right? Don't even bother with things like increasing support services, just make em pay more, show em the hard way. When a hardened addict can no longer afford their fix, what do they do usually? Smart one, crime may go up now. And at the same time when it comes to violece realted stuff the govt gets off the hook in doing its actual job - policing the streets better (for trouble makers).


Well put sanshee, that pretty much sums up what I think about it too.
