IMO at least some of the problem is the historical laxness with which California has approached drugs. You have decades and decades of drug use being de facto legal to the point where now you will not be arrested for shooting heroin in front of a police officer. You could tax all the billionaires out of the state and they still not afford the rehab expense for all of the addicts in California. How many chances do you get at success? Why not just start taking heroin so you get a free stay indoors, with free food at a rehab resort?

Why not do it then? And write a blog post and tell us all about how it goes.
No disrespect but that’s pretty far removed from pretty much any set of facts you can dredge up.

And “rehab resort” is the biggest pile of BS I’ve read in a while.
