I thought about that too. If the addict can't pay, they must pay in labor. $75 equal to 8 hours of work.
That way everybody gets to pay their sentence in one form or another.
It's not ideal. I dislike it immensely. But the alternative of a society of total addict is overwhelmingly more unappealing.
Laurie...you see how many people are already addicted to their pharmaceuticals, from anti-depressants to anti-hyperactivity drugs and in the US those already COST them big bucks even with co-pay! Smoking and alcohol are also costly addictions of nightmarish proportions all over the world. Just imagine the enormous addiction level and human wreckage of a society with ever more powerful drugs legalized!
It's painful for me to think about it, because I can see it all too clearly as the suffering would escalate dramatically and would reach into every corner of society.
