"I was spanked and I turned out okay"
"..Except I now take psych meds and advocate parents spank their kids"
This is exactly what you sound like when you claim that jailing people and giving them a permanent criminal record for drug related offenses/addictions actually "helps" them. It is actually scientifically proven that addictive tendencies arise from traumatic experiences. So essentially, America is punishing victims of severe trauma/mental illness.
Addiction is listed as a mental illness officially on the DSM too, but it's recognized only in Canada and not the States

I never said jail was a traumatic experience
I said victims of trauma are more likely to resort to substance abuse to cope with their underlying mental health issues

Yeah, except that substance abuse is a mental illness, it's not something people do for "fun" or because they enjoy doing it, in your own words, people eventually build a tolerance. So it is absurd to use the word "punished when they do something bad", because that is victim blaming. You wouldn't "punish" someone with a shitty life who harms himself or has harmed himself in the past, why do the double standards come in when it comes to addiction? Well because, the stigma is artificially constructed by pharmaceutical companies to further the agenda of the War on Drugs.
Facts remain: Addiction is a mental illness, and the only way to treat it is through a caring environment with a supportive medical team in the absence of law enforcement (because they can be triggering and lead to psychosis as they did for me). Withdrawal symptoms are not something you can treat by tossing someone in a cell with a big black guy named Hubba Bubba
