Is Sex the Best Alternative to Drug Addiction?

Question by Scott S: Is sex the best alternative to drug addiction?
I’ve read an article a few weeks ago which claims that getting high on drugs is like getting the best sex you’ve ever had in your life. If this is true then most people who have friends or relatives that are into drugs can save a lot of money from spending on drug rehabs. Now, if this is the case, is it appropriate to say that all drug addicts should just get a hooker and get the best sex of their lives to help them recover from their addiction? This seems to be a very interesting point to ponder on if all the facts are true about sex and drugs. I hope you can also share your take on this matter.

Does It Make More Sense to Put CHEMICALLY ADDICTED People in PRISON for POSSESSION or in REHAB?

Question by Bush is not conservative: Does it make more sense to put CHEMICALLY ADDICTED people in PRISON for POSSESSION or in REHAB?
Addiction is an illness. Narcotics abuse is an illness. Logically, the purchasing, possession and abuse of a drug by an addict is as much of a health concern as it is a legal one.

Narcotics abuse is undoubtedly a more emotionally complicated crime than other nonviolent offenses such as theft and vandalism, but early attempts to curb abuse lacked the necessary breadth to get addicts clean. Incarceration is not an effective method of freeing drug users from the substances on which they depend.
