Er, what I was rambling on about, was for them not to just attempt to move them with a bus ticket somewhere else.. cause that would just be passing on the problem to somewhere else. I want them to take them out of the problem environment and give them treatment. The main problem I see with the way they are handling it now, is there are lots of laws telling drug addicts its illegal.. but not enough to help them.

  What I meant by the farm is instead of taking the addict and sending them to jail after stealing to support their habit and getting caught. Send them away to an isolated place with no chance of drugs but lots of treatment.

  I dont mean just in time for the olympics either.. only to have it conveniently dropped one month later.

  EDIT:

  Something like this in my opinion is happening.
