Well maybe.....but comparing area like Texas and California to Calgary is not very fair. The amount of readily availible drugs in both of those regions is probably tenfold to what we have here.....as is the level of poverty.
I am not saying that with the immplementation of harsher penalties drug use would cease to exist, but I do think it would take a large chunk out of the problem...and this is just my oppinion but I am willing to fork over more tax dollars to get the lowlife drug dealing scum off the streets before they are propositioning my kids in 15 or 20 years. Even if the harsher penalties didnt reduce the cities drug use at all, I would still be in favour of cracking down on the dealers of hard drugs.....these scumbags(for the most part) cannot and will not be rehab'd.
