“requiring their compliance with the justice system,
compensation to victims, paying for treatment costs, paying their
way, so to speak.”

WTF? Compensation to the victims? Isn’t the “defendant” the
fucking victim of addiction? Is he supposed to compensate “society”
(that IS who is listed as the “victim” when someone is arrested on
drug charges in real court)? They have to pay for treatment, pay
for court costs, and “pay their way” – but a real criminal, a
rapist or murderer or whatever the fuck doesn’t have to pay for
shit… How ass backwards is this? This “drug court” sounds great
as a concept – like it may actually help people with addiction, but
in reality it just looks like less rights, less oversight, and more
bullshit. Drug usage is a NON-CRIME…
