ARE THE CURRENT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AFRAID OF LOSING THE DRUG-ADDICT VOTE?

I am appalled by the failure on the part of all or nearly all of the current candidates in the current U.S. Presidential campaign to publicly express their personal dismay over and adequately address the illicit-drug addiction crisis throughout nearly all of this nation.

A truly enlightened candidate for U.S. President would offer a proposed long-term solution to that pervasively injurious illicit-drug-addiction crisis. That proposed solution might include proposed government-sponsored expansion of affordable treatment programs for illicit-drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and tobacco addiction throughout this entire country.

The current Presidential campaign, however, has failed to offer voters a variety of alternative proposed comprehensive plans for putting an end to our nation's illicit-drug crisis.

The focus instead in the current Presidential primaries campaign has been on whether to legalize marijuana---a perverse diversion from what should have been the focus for political dialogue during the current Presidential campaign.

Many observers, including myself, are understandably wondering whether all or nearly all of the current candidates in the Presidential campaign in the USA fear losing the "drug-addict vote" in primary elections and in the general election.

Millions of Americans are drug-addicts, and many of them do turn out on Election Day to vote.
