Change the treatment of drug addicts - it's a mental health issue

Petition Details

Drug addicts shouldn't be imprisoned, they should be helped as they are suffering from a mental health issue. They should be able to seek easy help not a prison cell where drugs are even easier to obtain. Drugs shouldn't be legalised, users who need help shouldn't be criminalised

Additional Information

Many ex drug addicts wish they could have received better help and more easily instead of going to prison which helped ruin their lives. It's hard for them to get jobs and better lives now. Drugs shouldn't be legalised, but users who need help shouldn't be criminalised.
