A proposed ballot initiative that would require courts to offer treatment to certain drug offenders came under attack by Gov. Jeb Bush on Thursday. The initiative, called "Right to Treatment and Rehabilitation for Nonviolent Drug Offenders," would force judges to grant treatment or rehabilitation to anyone charged with simple possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia."To suggest there should be no penalties for continued drug use is to stick our heads in the sand," Bush said. Only first and second-time drug offenders would be eligible for treatment. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

| Bush, Bush and Bush, are they from a bad seed? There seems to be a problem with genealogy, like in Titus 3:9-11, where bad genealogy is described as, being the self-condemned! Has Godly living has complely escaped this family? [ Post Comment ] |

| Jeb can say whatever he likes. Absolutely no one in any California newspaper supported Proposition 36, politicians of all stripes and all parties came out uniformly against it, and every law enforcement group in the state not only opposed it, but did so vigorously and often resorting to lies much worse than Mr Bush's. Proposition 36 still passed by a huge margin, and I strongly suspect the same result in Florida. Soros' money helped gets these measures on the ballot, but their success is due to one thing and one thing alone: people are sick of the War on Drugs and know that there must be a better way. We're on the crest of a wave that's about to break over this whole nation. And neither Bush nor all the pundits in the world can stop the rising tide. [ Post Comment ] |

| I had to share this quote... Nevertheless, McCaffrey thinks the overall result is a "disaster." The Dutch, he says, "have the worst drug-education program on the face of the Earth. In schools, they are teaching kids how to use drugs safely! There's a real problem, in my view." . http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v01/n1557/a10.html?999 [ Post Comment ] |

| "An election is a pre-arranged auction of already stolen property." No truer words could ever be quoted, especially for Florida. [ Post Comment ] |

| "To suggest there should be no penalties for continued drug use is to stick our heads in the sand." Gov. Jeb Bush on the proposed ballot initiative. Reality version of the quote; "To suggest there should be penalties for drug use is to stick our heads in our ass." [ Post Comment ] |

| I read in the Washington Post in a column by a humourist I think it was Gene Weingarten that the word "JEB" is slang for F*** in something like Slovenian. So Florida is getting JEB'd [ Post Comment ] |
