The existing addicts are going to continue doing drugs anyway. Stopping others is a matter of proper education. Decriminalizing hard drugs won't stop the arrests. It will give the people arrested an alternative to Prison. Teaching addicts in 'colleges of Crime'(the Prisons) to get out and do other crimes to come up with drugs is not very smart of us. The current system just doesn't work. The rehabs will work if the addict wants help. If they don't the three strike rule will serve the purpose of removing them from society. Soon there would be very few addicts. The goal is to rid our country of these drugs all together.
