Linda Lingle on Drugs

Republican Governor (HI)

Addicts get treatment; dealers & repeat users get jail

Simple users, or addicts, should receive treatment. Drug dealers should be sent to jail. First time offenders for possession should be diverted to a treatment program with mandatory jail time as the alternative if they refuse treatment. Repeat offenders and those who fail treatment should get a mandatory prison term. Source: 2002 Senate campaign website, LindaLingle.com, “Positions” , Oct 10, 2002
