The sane alternative to locking up mild drug offenders, that is. And, drug courts work in at least some instances.
The biggest issue, it seems, is how knowledgeable a drug court judge is about addiction in general, and about the different behavioral specifics of alcoholics vs. crack cocaine users vs. powder snorters vs. meth smokers, etc.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
