content: I agree so much.  Legalization would prevent all the deaths on the sign.  Also - As long as a person has no history of violence, theft, property damage, rape, assault, murder - you know doing something on purpose to immediately cause harm to another person - if they make a choice as an adult to use drugs but break no other laws, they DO NOT belong in jail with RAPIST MURDER PSYCHOS.  That is cruel and unusual punishment. Apologies I just feel strongly about this one.  Even if the person gets addicted, they should at most be made to pay a fine and forced to attend drug treatment. Probably 1/4 of USA prisons need to be turned into drug rehab centers that have counselors instead of guards - for the people who have never been involved in any type of violence or property crime, but just got addicted.  Drug addiction should be discouraged, but as long as there is not a true crime that involves direct harm to someone against their will, it should be treated as an illness like cancer not as something to go to prison for. Addiction = Illness.  Any type of Violence or Theft = Crime.
