Addiction a mental illness, not a crime

As a recovering addict, I can attest that drugs being illegal never stopped me. The fear of incarceration never stopped me. Addicts dont think about these things.

Throwing an addict in jail doesnt stop the cycle. The only way to stop an addiction is to talk about it. People like Irene Hawkins who react with anger and fear only make it harder to talk about.

Addiction is a mental illness, not a crime.
