Bill Ritter on Drugs

Democrat

Fight meth & dealers; treat drug abusers

In 1994, Colorado’s first drug court opened, to address the root cause of some defendants’ crime--substance abuse--while holding those defendants strictly accountable during treatment. As Governor, I will continue to support affordable, tough and proven substance abuse treatment options for deserving substance abusers, but not for manufacturers or dealers. Additionally, I will continue to fight the manufacture of methamphetamine, which directly threatens the health and safety of us all.
