A lot of politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike, will happily sing the praises of using drug courts to force those facing criminal drug charges into mandatory drug rehabilitation programs instead into prison. On the surface, rehab does seem like the kinder, more rational approach to working with non-violent drug offenders, but the truth is there isn’t much practical difference for those caught in the criminal justice system. Like those forced to go to prison, offenders sent to rehab are pulled away from their families, jobs and social networks and incarcerated against their will for an offense (drug possession, etc). These individuals, whose addiction is likely to be to only the use of cannabis, are often people who do not wish to quit using cannabis. Many are forced to pay exorbitant rates for their stay at rehab. #cannabis #marijuana #mmj #medical
