Question

The ‘Report’ of the New York Academy of Medicine agrees with the objective of stopping drug addiction and with the efforts at rehabilitation. It disapproves of the punitive approach and the fantastically brutal punishment. It proposes a more humane program as follows: 1. There should be a changed attitude toward the addict. He is a sick person, not a criminal. 2. The most effective way to get rid of drug addiction is to take the profit out of illegal drug traffic. The addict should be able to get his drugs at low cost under Federal control in conjunction with efforts to have him undergo withdrawal. 3. There should be medical supervision of existing addicts with strong efforts toward their rehabilitation. This would involve persuasion of the addict to go through treatment and rehabilitation, evaluation of the methods of treatment, and supervision of addicts who were unwilling or stubborn to treatment. 4. There should be no reduction in the efforts toward the elimination of the supply of illegal drugs. Every effort should be made to arrest drug peddlers, wholesalers, and importers. While the addict should be considered as a sick person and treated appropriately, the nonaddict trafficker should feel the full punishment of the law. 5. By means of all educational media, radios, televisions, the press, lectures, books, and classrooms, there should be a concentrated effort to inform the public of the dangers attendant on the use of narcotic drugs. 6. Such a program would provide enough data relating to the number of addicts, the origin of individual usage, the number under treatment, the outcome of various forms of treatment, the number known to be unwilling to treatment, and similar information which is not now available. Such information would form a solid basis for better control, better rehabilitation, and better knowledge concerning the effect of narcotic addiction.
