"Should that guy who sold you weed goto jail?"
I Feel all drug dealers should be locked away for a while actually.

We might have a different opinion of what a drug dealer is, but that's a different argument.
I might be guilty of oversimplifying here, but the whole philosophy of "just lock them up" clearly is not working. If harsher prisons, longer sentences, more prisons, more cops, tougher judges and locking away millions of criminals really worked to lower crime and stomp out the drug problem, the US would be the safest, drug free-est place in the world. It's not.
They have the death penalty, they lock up a lot more people for a lot longer and in harsher prisons than we do but they still have more crime and more drug use.
Maybe it's time for a different approach? [/b][/quote]
Whats the best option then? (I'm being serious here).
You aren't going to "rehab" drug dealers, drug users maybe, but not the dealers.
