[The issue with ICE users and the havoc they cause may have as much to do with the personalities of those who choose to use the drug as the drug itself. They commit crimes for money in order to buy the stuff, and this is why the government should give it to these jerks.]
Hmmm... I wonder if this simple solution would work with ice users. I hear of so much child neglect in meth households (children not being fed, diapered, taken care of). Being under the influence seems to put users in a space where they can't or won't perform basic tasks required to sustain family life. So even taking the crime out of ice leaves the question of victims. I think legalization of ice needs to be considered in a separate framework from the legalization of more benign substances.
