Re: “If they aren't committing a crime to finance their problem they are passing out and requiring first responders to pick em up take em to the hosp and get em all patched up so they can do it all over again.”When they hurt someone or someone's property, they're criminals. Not before. They don't all do that.

As for their behavior causing medical costs to rise, that's IRRELEVANT. If that matters, then we'll also need to make premarital sex and homosexuality illegal - because those are two of the main culprits in the spread of venereal disease, AIDS, hepatitis and so many other medical conditions. And what about riding motorcycles? Skiing? Visiting bars? Are you really going to ban things based on their impact on medical costs?

I think you need to give that a rethink.
