Dehab

Let's end the war on drugs! Let's ease the prison population! Let's make the streets safe again! Let's make people happy! Let's legalize drugs!

The war on drugs has now cost the United States billions of dollars in cash and prizes, and the benefits have been absolutely nothing. So let's break it down and examine this problem once and for all.

People want to get fucked up, there is no getting around that. So unless we put lots and lots of money into making people happy we better put a little money into making them sedate. Drugs (by that I mean mainly Heroin and Cocaine) cost almost nothing to produce, but laws have driven their cost into hundreds of dollars a day for junkies across the globe. And when you add to that the cost of fighting the drugs it's more like hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. So why not just set up hospitals (any abandoned building will do, and plenty are available thanks to urban decay) where junkies can get their fix on at no cost at all!

Just show up, whoever you are, tie up and shoot yourself silly for no cost at all. Chances are they will stay in that place 99 hours a day, safely tucked away, and off the streets . All the needles and injections will be administered by qualified health officials with clean instruments and the most primo fucking smack this side of Kabul!

Sure they might stumble onto the street for a moment or two, but not long enough to hurt anyone, and why would they? No need to commit crimes, they have all the junk they need to stay cool in mainstream society. Perhaps bum a smoke or two off the passers by.

And when they finally succumb to the toxic substance building up in their bodies we simply toss them onto an ever growing pile of corpses 'round the back of the hospital. Oh! they won't mind the smell! And when the pile gets too high we will just toss them into the incinerator and generate electricity from their burning bodies. It would be a win win situation. Normal citizens get free power and the junkies get relieved of their useless lives. It would cost a thousandth of what it costs us today, and everyone would be so much better off. So I say let's do it! Legalize it and don't criticize it.

Totally feasible. Not at all controversial. Seems like it's win-win!
