Maybe, but that's what I thought the courts were for. It's not like you can hide that very well from your family and friends. It simply seems a bit of the wrong thing aimed at the wrong target, especially if you look at it from a holistic perspective. I'd rather balance crime & punishment with health & healing. This idea puts it out of whack, I think.


And thanks for sharing your story, Hain.
