[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 686637, member: 19076"] I agree to a point, but I believe it's bigger than just some dude trying to earn an extra buck. Dealers are users themselves. It's a case of what came first? The user or the dealer. They may be out there, but I have never known or heard of anyone who got started into dealing without being a user first. Addiction is a disease, and should be treated like any other disease. Instead, it's treated as a crime, where the addict goes to jail and gets little, if any, treatment in fixing the disease. I agree dealers should serve some sort of punishment, but I don't think locking them up for 25 years is where the focus and resources needs to be placed. I'd rather they use those resources in providing real treatment and accountability. Maybe then we would see some change. Maybe I'm thinking too positively, but what we've been doing doesn't work.
