This was such a great essay!

It is so in-depth and well-reasoned.

And I totally agree with your overall point, about the law not stopping any addicts.

I think you said it beautifully at the top of the essay when you said — “The Law does not enter into the mind of an addict. It isn’t the last thing on their mind—it isn’t even there.” — I was an addict for more than 10 years and I couldn’t agree more with this summary.
