What poppycock. All these drug rehab guys are on this "moral high horse", thinking because of this job they have that they're better than anyone. Mortality rates from busting drug dealers? Bull. Most drug dealers are not violent criminals. All just stupid media propaganda, they show all these crazy cartels and tell us, "Hey, those are drug dealers!". It's so funny how people will have a respectable open debate about gun control, gay marriage, or abortion, yet the minute pot is uttered people who don't know anything say "Oh well, pot is bad, I knew a lazy person who smoked, I know everything, your facts are wrong cause you're addicted." It is such a heinous crime. Just cause a soldier who came from Iraq will tell you "Yeah, everyone's a terrorist there" does that mean all Muslims are terrorists? What gives him the authority to judge a race of people based on what he sees? Should we not leave it to a Muslim to know himself and to show us who he really is? Drug rehabs are great for things that actually ruin lives, like meth, coke, xanax...however, there are more people in rehab for marijuana. 5% are willingly there, the other 90% were forced to by a judge. A judge that knows nothing about that person except their name and what they look like. 

This clown should go to jail forever. I smoked marijuana for 20 year's and moved to a different country so I decided to quit. It was so easy to quit, I had no withdrawals and it was something I decided i wanted to do.
Let me tell you, if a civilian took me by force trying to "save me" it would be the last thing he did.
3.5 years is not nearly enough.

hm... I'd like to ask author of this story (and anyone who is reading this) to explore a plant called iboga, and its use in detox procedure... and of course attitude of big pharma mafia and governments they own... try and u will have a great follow up story !-)

No good deed goes unpunished.

In Serbia, we had similar case. In orthodox monastery of Crna Reka was situated camp for healing of drug addicts, founded by Serbian Orhodox Church. Until one day, media started campaign to shut it down, because of "unhuman, brutal methods" used incourse of treatment, that were endagering human rights of drug addicts, according to NGO's who immediatelly started to push on government institutions. Fortunately, after that affair cooled down, since parents of drug addicts insisted that camp should not be closed, monastery of Crna Reka, and others, like monastery of Kovilj, were left alone, and treatments continued.

Well he would,he is taking away money from the drug barons,somebody has to protect the rights of the drug dealers.
