Emergency respondents would be allowed to refuse them service. They would also be required to purchase their own liability insurance to be employed in any manner. In exchange they get complete immunity from any drug prosecution ever and free drugs supplied by the guvmet. Anyone currently in prison on drug charges could get out by registering. Failure to maintain a registration status once started would make the registrant subject to be hunted down for a bounty. Commission of any crime while a registrant (including failure to register) would be a mandatory capital sentence, and registrants would waive their constitutional rights to a jury trial. All trials and execution of sentence would be carried out by tribunal within thirty days of arrest. Anyone requesting commutation of a capital sentence could automatically receive such commutation by forfeiting US citizenship. They would then be "contracted" out to other countries as laborers, etc. The drug problem in this country would solve itself in ninety days.
This is a big government solution and I am in no way serious about it but I wonder how many drug addicts would sign right up?

I think it's a lovely idea... while were at it... let go ahead and ensure that this covers alcohol (because from an intoxication standpoint its about 10X potentcy of weed), Cigarette's (Proven to cancer, no reason to waste public tax moneys to support people who are using a product that's proven to kill a LARGE PERCENTAGE of users over time), While were at it... we really need to re-think bath salts as well..... can't have any civil liberties for anyone who might possibly go all zombie on us can we.
Dammit i forgot about glue sniffing... well **** there goes all the model airplane guys.. Wonder if they will still be able to build model airplanes in their drug utopia world.
