New drug laws lighten punishment

Hundreds of low-level drug offenders in New York prisons became eligible Wednesday for shortened sentences or release under recent changes in state law.

This is only gonna bring the crime rate up.All dealers and users will claim (personal use) that they have an addition problem.By releasing and shorting terms to frequent abuses is a big mistake. The only individuals that we society should focus on is our youth and try to keep them away from drugs not grown folks who know the difference and the affects of drugs. Thirty-fourty years old,no job,no eduacation,no knowledge of life, they will do back to the only thing they know (cheating)(stealing)(drugs)(bu rglaries)ect.
Help the youth those who have a chance at life,not those who took it for granted.

EVEN VIAGARA is a drug. SO is a tranquilizer. The drug makers are combining them . One gets you up , The other puts you down . What a life . LOL

don't worry, rally (the unenlightened). for the last 15 years big pharma, with the help of stupid govt., has been shoveling painkillers down america's throat. and now they are tougher to get.
sooo ... loritab is the new pot. and a lot worse. crime will stay, oh, well, rather consistant.
something has to keep the machine rolling.
try to keep our precious youth away from drugs, you ask? ahhh .. those wonderful reagan years, when drug usage was stagnant, yet the 'war' on drugs was allotted a budget 20 times higher (1977 compared with 1987). not a dent in drug use. go on dummy, believe the hype.
admit it - seeing nancy reagen on 'different strokes' made you want to do some 'shrooms.
HEY EVERYONE - RAISE YOUR KIDS RIGHT - THIS IS A STUPID TOPIC!

[wake up]

why do ya think they call it dope...???
