I suggest talking to the victims of crack-induced crime. Seniors who are robbed in their homes. Seniors who are dragged down the road trying to hold onto the purse a crackhead is trying to steal. Young girls coerced into smoking crack by dealers until they become addicted and are forced to prostitute themselves by the same drug dealers. The only humane solution is mandatory rehabilitation unless you're a drug dealer or a tax-sucking politician. But then lawyers would be starving in the streets.
