You really don't care if they're doing drugs? How about the people who call the rescue to be taken to the hospital so they can try to get their pain meds that they don't really need? Would you want to have to wait for an ambulance if you or a family member had been in an accident and needed to be rushed to an ER? It's all fine for some of you if the drug users/abusers don't affect you and you don't see the drain they put on public services. Talk to a paramedic in a city or town that has a lot of drug users. You might be surprised at how much time and money is spent on them that could be put towards other important things.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
