    More money should be spent on drug treatment. I have not met an addict who was happy with his lifestyle, who wanted to steal and do illegal drugs. Drugs, such as heroin, are so powerful that they overwhelm the best of kids. Unfortunately, a lot of addicts cannot hold a job and don't have health insurance. If you can figure out the MA health care laws and obtain health insurance, then it's an endless battle to find a doctor who will accept the health insurance--either because they've reached their quota for low cost plans or they insist upon cash for drug programs. Spending money to treat people who want help will be a much better investment than arresting them and paying to incarcerate them.
