Many things lead people to commit crimes. Drug habits are one of them, but not nessasarily the biggest one. There is no way to really tell what reasons people commit crimes. so i refuse to aruge with you on that point. But i will say unemployment and proverty is bigger driving force to crime than drug use. If you ever look at places that have high unemployment and proverty, Crime is always up. But in places with high employment and little to no proverty, crime is always down. the facts speak for themselves. But, you probably cant relate to that because you've probably never lived in an area that was low employment and proverty stricken. so your mind may not be able to put those things together. Theres nothing wrong with that though. I envy you. I wish i had grown up living in a neighborhood where everything was nice and peachy. But i grew up in DC, it wasnt like that for me.
as for the drug users...
There are people in jail for no other reason but because they are on drugs. The havent stolen anything, killed anybody, raped anybody. the only thing they are guilt of is drug use and buying controlled substances. Now do they deserve to be treated like animals, or do they deserve help. In fact, drug addicts that go to jail because of their addiction shouldnt even be in jail. They need help. but thats another story.
