Points to note, your 1% does not match the authoritative study of the day which found 20% addiction rate in returning soldiers.She found a 20 percent rate of heroin addiction among returning soldiers using the subjective self-identification criteria for being psychologically addicted to heroin coupled with the more objective criteria of testing positive for opiates through urine screening. The 20 percent heroin addiction rate among military personnel in Vietnam is slightly lower than the 23 percent rate of addiction among the general U.S. population who use heroin. If they tested positive for opiates in their urine and/or reported that they were psychologically addicted to heroin, the soldiers were required to complete a military drug treatment program before they were eligible to return home to the U.S. However if the soldiers were able to stay clean for three days before their urine screen and did not-self-report psychological dependence, they would screen negative for heroin addiction and would not have been included in the relapse cohort for Robins study.

and closes with:
In no other arena of public policy, save perhaps drug policy, would such inefficacy be so proudly touted as meaningful. And perhaps most frustrating, there is going to be so much self-righteous ink spilled all over this absolutely worthless legislation that, even if passed, will have no meaningful effect on gun violence. What a miserable waste of time and energy is on the immediate horizon.

I am amused as well.
And yet - with prohibition or without the opiate using population in America has stayed stuck at 1.3%. Why?

kcdodd wrote:I don't think its effective no. One could kill everyone that uses a drug, and that would probably cut usage. But I don't consider that effective. In my book the same goes for incarceration, except that wouldn't even necessarily cut usage.
