^^But meanwhile, who do you think is going to foot the bill for these "free" services? Thats right, you and me, via our tax dollars. Thats part of the reason why all the Scandinavian countries have ridiculously high taxes, all these "free" social programs. If you want to spend your life in a drug induced haze, fine, but it better not be coming out of my pocket to entertain the idea it will force organized crime out. IMO, its just switching one cost (fighting crime) for another (manufacturing drugs to give away). It also basically green lights illicit drug use. If your govornment is giving it to you, it cant be criminal to use. So, party hearty on the taxpayers dime with absolutely no reprecussions!
Also, arent methadone clinics already set up in every major city? They give it away and the organized crime problems are still in full force. Why so?
Ive seen this in a slightly different layout, that 10% of the total population commits 90% of all crime.
